Description

If you're wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, start with these Jackson area animal shelters for a pet up for adoption. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home throughout Mississippi — many of whom are located within driving distance. Looking to adopt your new friend? A great place to begin your search is at Community Animal Rescue And Adoption Inc Cara, where Monica the dog is waiting patiently, or another local rescue center. 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 rounded up 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. If you're a cat person, meet Vanessa, 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 for more information 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.
