Looking to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the Anchorage community at the same time? Perhaps it's time to adopt a pet! Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to place pets with families. About 6.5 million companion animals are taken in each year by animal 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 half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Anchorage area — are still waiting for their forever 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 to learn more 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.
