East Hanover-Florham Park Pet Adoption: Meet Stan, Bastet, Lizzy & More

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the East Hanover-Florham Park community at the same time? Perhaps it’s finally time to adopt a pet! During the coronavirus pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout New Jersey — and many of them are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a lovable new fur child is at Mt Pleasant Animal Shelter, where Lizzy the cat is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, 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 Stan, 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.
