Description

Want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Jackson community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Shelters in Jackson and environs have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted. Millions of companion animals are taken in each year by animal 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 Jackson 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.
