Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Wilkes-Barre community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Across Pennsylvania, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many are located within driving distance. In the search for a lovable new companion, consider starting at a local shelter like Blue Chip Farm, where Aspen 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together 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 ROXIE, a Mountain Cur 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.
