If you don’t live in the tri-state area, but you’d still like to adopt a new four-legged friend, there are many more adoptable dogs and cats to meet at your local shelter! You can also visit our friends at Animal Care Centers of NYC and the Los Angeles County’s Animal Care Centers.

If you aren’t ready to adopt right now, you should consider becoming a foster caregiver! Fosters make a major difference for animals like these. Dogs and cats greatly benefit from spending time out of the shelter and in foster homes. You can foster for the ASPCA in Columbus, Ohio; Pawling, New York; New York City; Weaverville, North Carolina and Los Angeles.
