Description

If you've been wanting to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, start with these shelters in the Waco area for a pet up for adoption. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered to shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new four-legged companion is at Humane Society Of Central Tx, where Boomhauer the dog is waiting patiently, or another local rescue center. 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 compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet PHOENIX, a Chow Chow mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information 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.
