Tolland Pets Waiting To Be Adopted: Blaze, Maverick* & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Tolland community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.
Across Connecticut, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider checking out a local adoption center like Mansfield Animal Control, where #C49 Found the cat 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.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
