Princeton Pets Up For Adoption: Nikkie, Tyson, Priscilla & More

Want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Princeton community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout New Jersey — and many of them are located near you. In the search for an adorable new companion, consider checking out a local adoption center like Animals In Distress Inc, where Jax 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 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 Nikkie, a Tortoiseshell 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.
