Description

If you've been looking to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, look no further than these shelters in the Athens area for a pet who needs a home. About 6.5 million pets are taken in each year by rescue organizations nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. If you're on a search for an adorable new fur child, consider starting at a local animal shelter like Oconee County Animal Services Shelter, where Aslan 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 permanent 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.
