Description

Want to add a furry ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and make a positive impact on the Decatur community at the same time? Maybe it's the right time to adopt a pet! Many facilities in the Decatur area are still working to fulfill adoptions. Millions of pets are surrendered or taken in each year by animal shelters 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, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Decatur area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Lurch, 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 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.
