Description

If you've been hoping to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your household, look no further than these Reno area animal shelters for a pet who needs a home. About 6.5 million companion animals 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 these animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Reno area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created this week's list of pets 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 dog person, you might like Spanky, a 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 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.
