Description

Want to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and give back to the Augusta community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Many shelter animals are still looking for their forever home and facilities are still working to place pets with families. Millions of companion animals are taken in each year by animal rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. Looking to adopt a lovable new friend? A great place to start the search is at North Florida Rescue Inc, where Winnie the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption agency. 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 appropriate homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've amassed 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. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. 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.
