Description

If you've been wanting to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your family, start with these shelters in the Springfield area for a pet to take home. Across Missouri, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. On a search for your new friend? Consider looking around at a local rescue facility like Humane Society Of Sw Missouri, where Letti the cat is waiting patiently. If you aren't sure if you have time to take care of a pet year round, many shelters also offer opportunities to foster pets until they are placed in appropriate homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've 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 Julius, a Pit Bull 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.
