Description

If you've been hoping to add a fuzzy ball of love and affection to your life, look no further than these Augusta area shelters for a pet to take 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 shelter animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Augusta area — are still waiting for their forever homes. With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has rounded up this week's list of pets available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, meet Sassy Rae, a Yorkshire Terrier mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
