Description

If you're wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these shelters in the Rockford area for a pet you can adopt. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — many of whom are located in your area. If you're on a search for a new family member, consider looking around at a local rescue facility like Paws Humane Society, where Claus the cat 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 in permanent homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've compiled this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a cat person, meet Brooke, 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 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.
