Princeton Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Pinot, Olive Oil, Charlie & More
Want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, facilities in Princeton and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted.
For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a lovable new friend is at Save A Friend To Homeless Animals, where Charlie 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 in permanent homes.
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 Pinot, a Domestic Short Hair 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.
