Description

If you've been looking to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these animal shelters in the Baton Rouge area for a pet you can adopt. About 6.5 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by animal shelters 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, according to ASPCA data. If you're on a search for an adorable new four-legged friend, consider beginning at a local adoption agency like Animal Protection And Welfare Society Apaws, where Pearl 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. 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 for more information 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.
