Description

If you've been wanting to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, start with these Rockford area animal shelters for a pet to take home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in Illinois — and many of them are located within driving distance. If you're on a search for a new fur child, consider starting at a local rescue agency like Mending Hearts Rescue, where Zoe 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 in appropriate homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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 Willow, 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 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.
