Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter! Pet adoption agencies in the Anchorage area have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Over 6 million companion animals are given to adoption agencies 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 Anchorage area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. If you're a cat person, meet Odessa, 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 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.
