Do you want to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Greenville animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Local shelters in Greenville and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted. Over 6 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by adoption agencies 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 Greenville area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you 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. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. 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.
