Description

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Many shelters in and around Jackson are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Jackson area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've created 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. If you're a dog person, you might like Petunia, a Labrador Retriever up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
