If you've been wanting to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, look no further than these Rockford area animal shelters for a pet to take home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home throughout Illinois — and many of them are located not too far from you. If you're on a search for your new companion, consider checking out a local rescue center like Paws Humane Society, where Fizz the cat is waiting patiently.
