Description

If you're hoping to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your household, you should check out these shelters in and around Augusta for a pet up for adoption. About 6.5 million pets are given to adoption agencies each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. If you're on a search for an adorable new four-legged companion, consider checking out a local rescue agency like Second Chance Boxer Rescue New England, where King the dog is waiting patiently. 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. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've amassed 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. If you're a cat person, meet Nacho & Nikito, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs 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.
