Hamilton-Wenham Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Jimmy, Rizita, Ava & Eva & More

Want to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Maybe it’s finally time to adopt a pet! During the COVID-19 pandemic, shelters in the Hamilton-Wenham area have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.

Across Massachusetts, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a new family member is at Friends Of Marbleheads Abandoned Animals, where Ava & Eva the cat is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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.

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 cat person, meet Jimmy, a Domestic Medium Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
