Marblehead Pets Who Need A Home: Sandy, Holly, Easton & More

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! During the coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to place pets with families.

Across Massachusetts, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located not too far from you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for your new family member is at The Odd Cat Sanctuary, where Easton 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 in appropriate homes.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a cat person, meet Sandy, a Domestic Short 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.
