Description

If you've been hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, start with these Groton area shelters for a pet you can adopt. Over 6 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by adoption agencies 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 created this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, meet Mona, a Pit Bull Terrier mix up for adoption. 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.
