Description

If you're hoping to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your family, start with these Roanoke area shelters for a pet who needs a home. Millions of pets and other companion animals are taken in each year by adoption facilities 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 these animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Roanoke area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've compiled this week's list of pets 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 cat person, meet Momma, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs 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.
