Weston Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Mia, Simon, Bailee & More
Do you want to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the coronavirus pandemic, many facilities in Weston and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in forever homes.
There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in Massachusetts — and many of them are located not too far from you. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider looking around at a local animal shelter like Pawswatch Adoptable Cats, where Smokey 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.
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 Mia, an American Shorthair 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.
