Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Perhaps it's finally time to adopt a pet! Facilities in the Augusta area have dogs, cats and other pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are taken in each year by adoption facilities 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, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Augusta area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've compiled this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a cat person, meet Annoo, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs 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.
