Do you want to add a furry ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and make a positive impact on the Meridian community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! Many pets are still looking for their forever home and shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions. Over 6 million pets are given to rescue organizations each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. If you're on a search for an adorable new companion, consider looking around at a local animal pound like East Mississippi Animal Rescue, where Stimpy the dog 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 create a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Nick, 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.
