Want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the Bensalem community at the same time? Perhaps it’s time to adopt a pet! Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many facilities are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.
Across Pennsylvania, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for a lovable new family member is at Rescue Purrfect, where Dextercc 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.
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. If you’re a cat person, meet Skippy, a Domestic Medium 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.
