Looking to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, facilities in the Glen Cove area have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
Across New York, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many are located near you. In the search for an adorable new companion, consider checking out a local animal shelter like North Shore Animal League America, where Leopold 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.
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 Ronald, 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.
