Want to add a furry friend to your family? Look no further than these Marion animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many shelters in the Marion area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. Millions of pets and other companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by animal rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals in search of a permanent home as well, including pigs, birds and even horses. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Marion area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Penny, a Yorkshire Terrier 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.
