Description

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter. Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and facilities are still working to place pets with families. Over 6 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by animal rescue organizations 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 Marion area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've amassed 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 Pugsley, a Maine Coon up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too. 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.
