Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the Patchogue community at the same time? Perhaps it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Amid the coronavirus pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.
In the search for an adorable new companion, consider starting at a local shelter like Golden Paw Society Inc, where Lulu 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 dog person, meet Ciabella *SUPER URGT* NEEDS IMMED FOSTER HOME, an American Staffordshire Terrier mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
