Want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the Lower Providence community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout Pennsylvania — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new family member is at Main Line Animal Rescue, where Keene the cat is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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 appropriate homes.
If you 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 Atti, a Tabby mix up for adoption. 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.
