Description

Want to add to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. Many animal shelters in and around Waterford are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are given to rescue organizations each year 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 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 Waterford area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available.
