Description

If you're looking to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these Athens area shelters for a pet up for adoption. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are 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 Athens area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, 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. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. 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.
