Burlington Pets Now Up For Adoption: Blitzen, Dasher, Sadie & More

Want to add to your family and give back to the Burlington community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, facilities in and around Burlington have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted.

Across Massachusetts, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. In the search for an adorable new friend, consider checking out a local animal shelter like Melrose Humane Society, where Yang the cat 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.
