Description

If you're looking to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these shelters in and around Springfield for a pet you can take home. Over 6 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by animal pounds nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Springfield area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Mama, 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.
