Description

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and have a positive impact on the Iowa City community at the same time? Maybe it's finally time to adopt a pet! Animal shelters in Iowa City and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted. Over 6 million companion animals are given to animal rescue organizations 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 shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Iowa City area — are still waiting for their forever 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 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.
