Description

If you're hoping to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, look no further than these shelters in the Marion area for a pet to take home. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered to shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Marion area — are still waiting for their forever homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has rounded up 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. If you're a dog person, you might like Benji, a Terrier up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
