Want to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family? Look no further than these Anchorage animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Animal shelters in the Anchorage area have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Over 6 million companion animals are surrendered to adoption facilities each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Anchorage area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we've created this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, meet Soot, a German Shepherd Dog mix up for adoption. 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.
