Do you want to add a furry ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Many animal shelters are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. About 6.5 million pets and other companion animals are taken in each year by rescue organizations 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 Portland area — are still waiting for their forever homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled this week's list of animals 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. Click on any listing for more information 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.
