Pet Adoption In The Teaneck Area: New Pets Added This Week
Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it's time to adopt a pet! Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many animal shelters in the Teaneck area are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a lovable new family member is at Happy Homes Animal Rescue, where Chop Suey the cat is waiting patiently, or another local animal shelter. 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.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Whitney, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
