Description

If you're wanting to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these Springfield area shelters for a pet to adopt. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Illinois — and many of them are located not too far from you. On a search for your new fur child? Consider starting at a local shelter like Animal Protective League, where Charmin 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. 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.
