Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Many pets are still looking for their forever home and shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered to 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 half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Burlington 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. If you're a cat person, meet Frito, 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 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.
