Want to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Rockford animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many animal shelters in Rockford and environs are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start the search for a lovable new companion is at Paws Humane Society, where Havarti the cat is waiting patiently, or another local rescue center. 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 in permanent 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 to learn more 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.
