If you're hoping to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your household, start with these Springfield area animal shelters for a pet you can take home. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many are located near you. Looking to adopt a lovable new four-legged friend? A great place to start the search is at Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Deuce the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption agency. 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. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've amassed this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Lucy, a Pit Bull Terrier up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats 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.
