Adoptable pets around Boston

If you have been thinking about adding four paws to your family, take a look at this list of adoptable animals around the Greater Boston area.

Maya is a 2-year-old pit bull with a brown coat and white spots on her chest and paws.

Maya is a 2-year-old pit bull mix and her adoption fee is waived.

Bringing home a furry friend is always an exciting adventure full of love, snuggles, and a chewed up shoe or two. City Editor Jess should know, she has two rescue pups — Roscoe + Reyna.

We’ve done some digging to highlight local animal shelters looking for some purrfect parents to add to their furever family. We found cats, kittens, dogs, puppies + small animals from six local organizations.

Titan is a brown and white pittie mix with floppy ears and is wearing a red collar.

Titan is about three years old and he’s blind, so his furever home will need some minor accommodations to be successful.
