Want to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and give back to the Augusta community at the same time? Consider adopting a pet from a local shelter. Many facilities are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets in their forever home. About 6.5 million pets are taken in each year by rescue organizations 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. On a search for your new friend? Consider beginning at a local animal shelter like Protectors Of Animal Lives Society Pals, where Gizmo 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. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We put together 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 Blu Bear, a Pit Bull Terrier up for adoption. Or 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.
