Description

If you're wanting to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your life, you should check out these animal shelters in and around Jackson for a pet up for adoption. About 6.5 million pets are given to animal shelters each year 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, ASPCA data shows. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a new family member is at Mississippi Animal Rescue League Marl, where Samantha the dog 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 permanent 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. 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.
