Reply (Tlc Rescue) Looking to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout New York — and many of them are located near you. In the search for a new companion, consider beginning at a local shelter like Pet Rescue, where Bree 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 permanent homes.
