Teaneck Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Niko, Oreo, Gabriel & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Teaneck community at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home in New Jersey — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for an adorable new fur child is at Fly Away Home Inc, where Gabriel 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 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 Niko, 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.
