Looking to add to your family? Look no further than these Augusta animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many animal shelters in the Augusta area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Over 6 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 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 Augusta area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've rounded up 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 dog person, meet Eason, a Chihuahua 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.
