Description

Do you want to add to your family and have a positive impact on the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! Animal shelters in and around Springfield have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home — many of whom are located within driving distance. Looking to adopt an adorable new family member? A great place to begin the search is at Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Julissa the dog is waiting patiently, or another local animal pound. 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 permanent homes. 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.
