Looking to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and do something good for the Jackson community at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Many animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions. Millions of companion animals are given to shelters 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 pets 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. 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 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.
