Description

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, facilities in and around Albany have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home across New York — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new family member is at Capital District Humane Association, where Wren the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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. 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. If you're a dog person, you might like Wilma, a Mixed Breed up for adoption. Or 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. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
