Description

If you're looking to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your life, start with these Meridian area animal shelters for a pet you can adopt. Millions of companion animals 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 animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. Looking to adopt a lovable new four-legged friend? A great place to start your search is at East Mississippi Animal Rescue, where Iven the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal pound. 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 permanent homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals 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. 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.
