Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in Commack and environs have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
In the search for a new friend, consider starting at a local facility like Ollies Angels Animal Rescue, where Charlotte the dog 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 in appropriate homes.
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, meet Maverick, a Labrador Retriever mix up for adoption. 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.
