Like Tweet Pin it Share Share Email

Do you want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Perhaps it’s time to adopt a pet! Amid the coronavirus pandemic, animal shelters in Andover and environs have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.

For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for a new friend is at Mspca At Nevins Farm, where Bucky the chicken 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.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together 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.
