Description

If you've been looking to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your life, start with these animal shelters in the Sioux Falls area for a pet to take home. About 6.5 million pets are taken in each year by animal pounds 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 these animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Sioux Falls area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a cat person, meet Bert, 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.
