South End Pets Who Need A Home: Bean, Spaghetti, Watson & More
Looking to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the South End community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! During the COVID-19 pandemic, many animal shelters in the South End area are still working to fulfill adoptions.
Across Massachusetts, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located in your area. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for an adorable new family member is at Animal Rescue League Of Boston, where Watson the rabbit 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.
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. Whether you’re a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
