Description

If you've been looking to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these animal shelters in the Meridian area for a pet up for adoption. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by animal shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Meridian 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 dog person, you might like Ziggy, a Mixed Breed up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats 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.
