Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Coventry community at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. During the coronavirus pandemic, facilities have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Rhode Island — and many of them are located in your area. In the search for a lovable new fur child, consider starting at a local facility like Friends Of Exeter Animals, where Helna 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.
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 dog person, you might like ROSEMARY, a Labrador Retriever 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.
