Greenwich Area Pets Now Up For Adoption: Azure, Coco & More

Do you want to add to your family? Look no further than these Greenwich animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions.

Over 6 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for your new friend is at Lucky Dog Refuge, where Coco the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption agency. 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.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've compiled this week?s list of pets available for adoption near you. Whether you?re looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. If you're a cat person, meet Azure, 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 to learn more about a pet or to start the adoption process.
