Description

Do you want to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Many shelters in the Iowa City area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by animal pounds nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Iowa City area — are still waiting for their forever homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has amassed 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, you might like Princess & Betty, a Papillon 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. 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.
