Description

If you've been looking to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these shelters in the Springfield area for a pet to take home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home throughout Illinois — many of whom are located in your area. If you're on a search for a new four-legged companion, consider starting at a local facility like Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Roscoe the dog 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created 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. If you're a cat person, meet Chester, 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 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.
