Description

If you're wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, start with these Springfield area animal shelters for a pet to adopt. Over 6 million pets are surrendered to adoption facilities each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all these animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Springfield area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create 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 Bruno, a Boxer 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.
