Meriden Pets Who Need A Home: Meet Bailey! Friendly, Resilient Boy!, Josephine, Moana & More

Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Meriden community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, many pets are still looking for their forever homes and facilities still working to fulfill adoptions.

For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a lovable new friend is at Meriden Humane Society, where Moana the cat is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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 permanent homes.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you’re a dog person, you might like Bailey! Friendly, Resilient Boy!, a German Shepherd Dog up for adoption. Or 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.
