Yorktown-Somers Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Sunshine, Frank Sinatra, Nissy & More

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Yorktown-Somers community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many facilities in and around Yorktown-Somers are still working to fulfill adoptions.

Across New York, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — many of whom are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a new fur child is at Furrr 911, where Nissy the cat is waiting patiently, or another local animal 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 create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Sunshine, 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.
