If you're looking to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your life, you should check out these Burlington area shelters for a pet up for adoption. Over 6 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a lovable new fur child is at Passion 4 Paws, where Joey the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal shelter. 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 appropriate 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. Whether you're looking for cuddles or companionship, one of these animals could be the perfect fit for your family. If you're a dog person, you might like Sweet Pea, a Husky up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information 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.
