Bushwick Pets Who Need A Home: Thea, Baby Mouse, Tom & Jerry *Bonded Pair* & More
Looking to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, facilities in Bushwick and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
Across New York, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located in your area. In the search for your new family pet, consider checking out a local adoption center like Empty Cages Collective, where Bubble And Squeak the guinea pig 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.
If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Thea, a Tabby 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.
