Pet Adoption In The Weymouth Area: See The Latest Pets
Want to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, many local animals are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.
Across Massachusetts, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — many of whom are located near you. In the search for a lovable new companion, consider checking out a local adoption center like Paws4survival Rescue Inc, where Mischievous Maya the cat 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 appropriate homes.
Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Buckley, a Domestic Short Hair mix up for adoption. 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.
