Want to add to your family and give back to the Portland community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and animal shelters still working to place pets with families. Across Maine, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. In the search for an adorable new family pet, consider starting at a local shelter like The Green Ark, where Benson the dog 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 permanent homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Sammie, a Retriever up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder.
