Looking to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it’s finally time to adopt a pet! During the COVID-19 pandemic, facilities in Cherry Hill and environs have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
Across New Jersey, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new friend, consider looking around at a local shelter like Matchdog Rescue, where Paul the dog 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 round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, you might like Marin, a Greyhound up for adoption. Or 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.
