Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many facilities in the Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in New York — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for a lovable new family pet, consider looking around at a local animal shelter like Brooklyn Bridge Animal Welfare Coalition, where Cookie &Amp; Muffin 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 appropriate 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 cat person, meet Vinegar, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
