Peabody Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Indigo, Atlas, Blaze & More

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Peabody community at the same time? Perhaps it’s time to adopt a pet! Despite the coronavirus pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and shelters still working to fulfill adoptions.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Massachusetts — many of whom are located near you. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for an adorable new friend is at Northeast Animal Shelter, where Blaze the cat is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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 INDIGO, a Siamese 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.
