Looking to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a dog, cat or other animal from a local shelter or organization! Facilities have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home. About 6.5 million pets and other 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 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 Charleston area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've rounded up this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a cat person, meet ESME , 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 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.
