Description

If you've been hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your household, you should check out these Portland area shelters for a pet you can adopt. Across Maine, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located not too far from you. On a search for a new four-legged companion? Consider beginning at a local adoption center like The Grateful Dog Animal Rescue, where Ashlee 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 appropriate homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has created this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, meet Brie , a Dachshund mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
