Description

If you're hoping to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your life, look no further than these animal shelters in the Columbia area for a pet who needs a home. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered to animal shelters each year 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 Columbia area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've rounded up this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a cat person, meet Joy, 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.
