Looking to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many pets are still looking for their forever home and facilities are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by animal rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. Looking to adopt an adorable new four-legged friend? A great place to start the search is at Almost Home Rescue Of Maine, where Neiko the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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. 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.
