Description

Do you want to add to your family and do something good for the Jackson community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter or organization! Many shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. Over 6 million companion animals 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 around half of all animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for a new friend is at Jackson Friends Of Animal Shelter, where Leila the dog is waiting patiently, or another local shelter. 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled 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. 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.
