Description

If you're wanting to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your household, start with these Springfield area animal shelters for a pet you can take home. Over 6 million companion animals are given to adoption agencies each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Springfield area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog or cat person, there are several great options available. 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.
