Looking to add to your family and do something good for the Lincoln community at the same time? Maybe it’s finally time to adopt a pet! Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, shelters have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home.
In the search for a new fur child, consider starting at a local animal shelter like Paws And Claws New England, where Ruby. the dog is waiting patiently. 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.
Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, meet Champ, a Labrador Retriever mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information, or to start the adoption process.
