If you've been hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, you should check out these animal shelters in the Meridian area for a pet who needs a home. Over 6 million pets are given to animal pounds each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Of those, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals in search of a permanent home as well, including pigs, birds and even horses. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Meridian area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, you might like Rose, a Shepherd up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. Click on any listing to learn more 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.
