Description

Looking to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Consider adopting a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization. Pet adoption agencies have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting to be adopted. Over 6 million pets are given to animal rescue organizations each year 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, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Charleston area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Spud, a Boxer 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.
