Description

If you've been wanting to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your life, you should check out these Rockford area animal shelters for a pet to adopt. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in Illinois — many of whom are located in your area. If you're on a search for a new friend, consider checking out a local adoption center like Paws Humane Society, where Simon the cat is waiting patiently. 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. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we put together a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. Whether you're a dog person, or if cats are more your thing, there are several great options available. 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.
