Pet Adoption In The Newtown Area: See New Dogs, Cats

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Perhaps it's finally time to adopt a pet! During the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in and around Newtown have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home in Pennsylvania — many of whom are located within driving distance. In the search for your new friend, consider looking around at a local animal shelter like Dire Straits Paws Rescue Team, where Daisy 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.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Frankie, an American Bulldog up for adoption. Or 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.
