Description

If you're looking to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, start with these animal shelters in the Falmouth area for a pet to take home. About 6.5 million companion animals are taken in each year by adoption agencies 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 animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Falmouth 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 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 cat person, meet Posey & Paddy, 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 for more information 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.
