If you're hoping to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your family, start with these Portland area shelters for a pet who needs a home. About 6.5 million companion animals are taken in each year by rescue organizations 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 these animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Portland area — are still waiting for their forever 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. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. 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.
