Want to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Anchorage animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many facilities in Anchorage and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. About 6.5 million pets are given to rescue organizations each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Anchorage area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. If you're a dog person, meet Rory, 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 about a pet or to start the adoption process. Editor's note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder. If you're a local shelter looking to see your adoptable pets appear on Patch, you'll need to list them through Petfinder.
