Description

If you're looking to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your household, start with these Portland area shelters for a pet to take home. Across Maine, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. On a search for an adorable new four-legged companion? Consider checking out a local animal shelter like Pittie Posse Rescue And Sanctuary, where Hans 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. Click on any listing to learn more about a pet 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.
