Want to add a furry friend to your family? Look no further than these Springfield animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many animal shelters in and around Springfield are still working to fulfill adoptions. Across Illinois, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home — and many are located in your area. Looking to adopt a lovable new four-legged friend? A great place to start your search is at Sangamon County Animal Control Center, where Weasley the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption center. 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 in appropriate homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. 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 Reggie, 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.
