Montclair Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Rinn, Jiggles, Creampuff & More
Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to place pets with families.
Across New Jersey, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new family member is at Montclair Township Animal Shelter, where Creampuff 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.
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 dog person, you might like Rinn, a Terrier 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.
