If you're hoping to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these Jackson area shelters for a pet who needs a home. Over 6 million pets and other companion animals are surrendered to animal rescue organizations each year 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 shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Jackson area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've amassed this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, meet Paris, a Black Mouth Cur 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.
