If you've been hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these Anchorage area animal shelters for a pet to take home. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered to rescue organizations each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. On a search for your new four-legged companion? Consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Alaska Animal Rescue Friends Aarf, where Mocha the dog is waiting patiently. 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've amassed this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, meet Zeus, a German Shepherd Dog mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing for more information 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.
