Want to add to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter! Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. Looking to adopt a lovable new four-legged friend? A great place to start the search is at Paws Humane Society, where Morrie the cat 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.
