Description

If you're wanting to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these shelters in and around Iowa City for a pet you can adopt. Over 6 million pets are given to rescue organizations each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Iowa City area — are still waiting for their forever homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has 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 cat person, meet Trooper, 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.
