Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, facilities in the Wilkes-Barre area have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout Pennsylvania — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider looking around at a local shelter like Blue Chip Farm, where Stanley And Millie the rabbit 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. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
