Description

If you've been wanting to add a fuzzy ball of four-legged love and affection to your household, look no further than these Waterford area animal shelters for a pet to adopt. Millions of pets and other companion animals are taken in each year by animal shelters 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 Waterford area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've compiled this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Willow, a Labrador Retriever 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.
