Description

If you've been hoping to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these shelters in the Waterford area for a pet you can take home. Across Connecticut, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. On a search for a lovable new four-legged friend? Consider looking around at a local facility like Rescue Dog Village Guardian Inc, where Levi the dog is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've created this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Roxy, a Mastiff 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.
