Description

Want to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many facilities in the New London area are still working to fulfill adoptions. Across Connecticut, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located within driving distance. On a search for a lovable new four-legged friend? Consider looking around at a local facility like Oaktree Crew Inc, where Tarzan the cat 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 permanent homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up 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 Justice, a Border Collie up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information about a pet or to start the adoption process. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder. If you're a local shelter looking to see your adoptable pets appear on Patch, you'll need to list them through Petfinder.
