Do you want to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it's the right time to adopt a pet! Many facilities are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. Millions of companion animals are given to adoption agencies each year 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 around half of all these animals 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've rounded up this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing for more information 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.
