Want to add a new member to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many animal shelters in and around Iowa City are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Over 6 million pets and other companion animals are given to adoption agencies each year 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 half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Iowa City area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've amassed this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like CiCi, a Chihuahua 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.
