Looking to add a furry ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter or organization. Many animal shelters in the Portland area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Over 6 million companion animals 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 these animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Portland area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Smudge, a Retriever up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats 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.
