Description

If you're looking to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these animal shelters in the Springfield area for a pet who needs a home. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — many of whom are located in your area. If you're on a search for a new friend, consider looking around at a local adoption center like Forever Home Feline Ranch, where Chandler the cat is waiting patiently. 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 permanent 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.
