Description

Do you want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the Portland community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Local shelters in Portland and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Maine — many of whom are located within driving distance. Looking to adopt an adorable new companion? A great place to start the search is at Homeless Animal Rescue Team Hart, where Rainey the cat is waiting patiently, or another local rescue agency. 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Piper, a Cattle Dog 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. If you're a local shelter looking to see your adoptable pets appear on Patch, you'll need to list them through Petfinder.
