Looking to add a new member to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. Many facilities in Rockford and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Over 6 million pets are given 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, according to ASPCA data. If you're on a search for a lovable new companion, consider beginning at a local rescue facility like Paws Humane Society, where Hocus 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. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've compiled this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. If you're a cat person, meet Dinah, 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.
