If you're wanting to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your household, look no further than these Springfield area animal shelters for a pet who needs a home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Illinois — and many are located not too far from you. On a search for your new companion? Consider starting at a local adoption agency like Animal Protective League, where Magda the cat 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. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals 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. 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.
