Description

If you've been hoping to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, start with these animal shelters in the Waterford area for a pet you can adopt. Over 6 million pets and other companion animals are given to animal pounds each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. Looking to adopt a new four-legged friend? A great place to begin your search is at Rescue Dog Village Guardian Inc, where Jack the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate 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 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.
