Description

If you're looking to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your household, start with these animal shelters in and around Springfield for a pet to take home. About 6.5 million companion animals are given to animal shelters 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. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for your new four-legged friend is at C Dot Ar Dot E Animal Rescue, where Orville the guinea pig is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has created this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. 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.
