Want to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and have a positive impact on the Springfield community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter or organization! Facilities in the Springfield area have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting for someone to take them home. Millions of pets are given to adoption facilities each year 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 half of all shelter animals — about 3.2 million — are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Springfield area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've amassed 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 Tyson, a Domestic Short Hair mix up for adoption. If dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs 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.
