Description

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Meridian community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization! Many animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions. About 6.5 million pets are taken in each year by animal pounds nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Meridian area — are still waiting for their forever homes. 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 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.
