Danbury Pets Who Need A Home: Mirabella, Rocky Balboa, Milo & More
Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the Danbury community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in Connecticut — many of whom are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a new family member is at Danbury Animal Welfare Society Inc Daws, where Milo the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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, you might like Mirabella, an Australian Shepherd 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.
