Description

If you're looking to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your household, start with these shelters in the Portland area for a pet who needs a home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Maine — and many of them are located near you. Looking to adopt a lovable new family member? A great place to begin the search is at The Grateful Dog Animal Rescue, where Zuri the dog 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 in permanent homes. 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 for more information 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.
