Description

Want to add to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to place pets with families. Millions of pets and other companion animals are given to adoption facilities each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. On a search for a new fur child? Consider beginning at a local rescue center like Fuzzy Friends Rescue, where Ellen the cat is waiting patiently. 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. 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 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.
