Looking to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and do something good for the Reno community at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! Many facilities in the Reno area are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. Looking to adopt a lovable new four-legged friend? A great place to begin the search is at Spca Of Northern Nevada, where Ruffles the cat is waiting patiently, or another local rescue agency. 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. If you're a cat person, meet Dixon, 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.
