Description

If you're wanting to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, look no further than these animal shelters in the Rockford area for a pet to adopt. Millions of pets are taken in each year by animal rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. Looking to adopt an adorable new family member? A great place to start the search is at Paws Humane Society, where Kit the cat is waiting patiently, or another local rescue agency. 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 put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Buck, a Mixed Breed 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.
