Description

If you're hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these shelters in and around Waterford for a pet up for adoption. Across Connecticut, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — and many of them are located not too far from you. Looking to adopt a lovable new four-legged companion? A great place to start your search is at Rescue Dog Village Guardian Inc, where Rhea the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal pound. 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled 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. 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.
