Mansfield Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Shelby, Aryanna, Earl & Butler & More

Looking to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Perhaps it’s the right time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, many animal shelters in and around Mansfield are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home across Massachusetts — and many are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a new family member is at Wildheart Canine Rescue, where Earl & Butler the cat is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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.

If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up 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 Shelby, an American Staffordshire Terrier 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.
