Looking to add a furry ball of four-legged love and affection to your family? Look no further than these Anchorage animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelter animals are still looking for their forever home and shelters are still working to place pets with families. About 6.5 million pets are taken in each year by rescue organizations 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 pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Anchorage 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 animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Chroma, a Husky 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.
