Description

If you're wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these shelters in and around Groton for a pet up for adoption. Millions of pets are taken in each year by animal pounds nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals in search of a permanent home as well, including pigs, birds and even horses. 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 Groton area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've 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. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. 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.
