Description

If you've been wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these Rockford area shelters for a pet to take home. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Illinois — and many are located near you. Looking to adopt a new friend? A great place to begin your search is at Paws Humane Society, where Max the cat is waiting patiently, or another local facility. 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've amassed 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 dog person, meet Oreo, a Bichon Frise mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats 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.
