Looking to add a new member to your family and make a positive impact on the Charleston community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter! Many pets are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions. Millions of pets and other companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by adoption facilities 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 pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Charleston area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've rounded up this week's list of pets 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. If you're a dog person, you might like Cooper, a Basset Hound up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too.
