Hurricane Sandy: Safe Places for Pets During the Storm

Parsippany Police presents storm shelter options for residents and their best friends.

The town's animal shelter is at 1069 Parsippany Blvd. If you need assistance from an animal control officer, call 973-263-7083.

This Fourth of July, Adopt a Pet

A Patch preview of available pets the Parsippany Animal Shelter will show before the fireworks

Attention, Parsippany animal lovers: There will be fur before the July 4 fireworks at Parsippany Hills High School.   The Parsippany Animal Shelter will hold a special Independence Day adoption event at the school.  Dogs and cats will be there hoping to find a new family beginning at 6 p.m., but will be whisked away before the fireworks, so that they are not disturbed by the festivities. Patch has a sneak preview of many of the cuddly companions in our photo gallery.  All we can suggest is that you avert your eyes, since the cute factor is exceptionally high.  Resistance is futile.
