Description

If you've been wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these shelters in and around Groton for a pet to take home. Millions of companion animals are taken in each year by adoption facilities nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. On a search for your new friend? Consider looking around at a local shelter like Westerly Animal Control, where Cleo 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 in appropriate homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Tubby, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
