Looking to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many animal shelters in and around Waterford 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 — many of whom are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new friend is at Focus On Ferals Inc, where Jellylorum the cat 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 in permanent 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. 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.
