Pet Adoption In The Millburn-Short Hills Area: See The Latest Pets

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, shelters in Millburn-Short Hills and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home.

Across New Jersey, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new companion is at Sedona Shepherd Sanctuary, where Ringo 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.

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 dog person, you might like Zion, a Great Pyrenees 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.
