Description

Want to add to your family and give back to the Iowa City community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter! Many shelter animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to place pets with families. Millions of pets are taken in each year by adoption agencies 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, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Iowa City area — are still waiting for their forever 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.
