Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Charleston community at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter. Many shelters in Charleston and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Millions of pets and other companion animals are taken in each year by shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. Looking to adopt your new four-legged companion? A great place to begin the search is at Rascals Rescue, where Avacado the cat is waiting patiently, or another local animal pound. 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals 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 cat person, meet Mateo, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. Click on any listing to learn more 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.
