Port Washington Pets Who Need A Home: Pebbles, Ellie, Orangesicle & More
12 min read
Looking to add a new member to your family and do something good for the Port Washington community at the same time? Perhaps it’s finally time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.
Across New York, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located near you. In the search for a lovable new companion, consider beginning at a local shelter like North Shore Animal League America, where Tessi the cat 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 create 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 Pebbles, a Mixed Breed 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.
