Description

Want to add to your family? Look no further than these Springfield animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. Over 6 million companion animals are given to animal shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. On a search for your new four-legged companion? Consider checking out a local rescue agency like Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Nike 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. 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 to learn more 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.
