Pet Adoption In The Metairie Area: New Dogs, Cats Added This Week
Want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Metairie community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. During the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many shelters in Metairie and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout Louisiana — and many are located not too far from you. In the search for your new companion, consider starting at a local facility like Gretas Ark Animal Rescue, where Esme the dog is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in permanent homes.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Cricket, a Yorkshire Terrier mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
