Looking to add a furry friend to your family? Look no further than these Rockford animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many facilities in the Rockford area are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. About 6.5 million pets are taken in each year by adoption agencies nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 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 Rockford area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've 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. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. Click on any listing to learn more 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.
