Description

If you've been looking to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your life, start with these Burlington area shelters for a pet who needs a home. Over 6 million companion animals are surrendered to adoption facilities each year 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 around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Burlington area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Beau, an Australian Cattle Dog / Blue Heeler mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information 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.
