Want to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it's time to adopt a pet! Many shelter animals are still looking for their forever home and facilities are still working to place pets with families. Millions of companion animals are given to animal shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. Looking to adopt your new four-legged friend? A great place to start your search is at Alaska Animal Rescue Friends Aarf, where Zenny the dog is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Leila, a Poodle up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
