Description

If you've been wanting to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your household, look no further than these Wilkes-Barre area animal shelters for a pet you can take home. Over 6 million pets and other companion animals are given to shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Wilkes-Barre area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you 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 Sol, a Pit Bull Terrier up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
