Description

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it's time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many animal shelters in and around Groton are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Across Connecticut, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new family member is at Westerly Animal Control, where Nephtys the dog 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 in permanent 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. If you're a dog person, meet RUDY, a Great Pyrenees 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. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
