Scotch Plains-Fanwood Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Fefe, Simba, Mitz & More

Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the Scotch Plains-Fanwood community at the same time? Maybe it’s finally time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, animal shelters have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted.

Across New Jersey, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for a new family pet, consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Angel Pets Animal Welfare Society Inc, where Sophia 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.

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 cat person, meet FeFe, a Calico mix up for adoption. 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.
