Description

Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the Springfield community at the same time? Perhaps it's finally time to adopt a pet! Animal shelters in Springfield and environs have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting to be adopted. Millions of pets and other companion animals 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, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Springfield area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Louie, a Chihuahua up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats 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.
