Description

If you've been looking to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your household, you should check out these Jackson area shelters for a pet who needs a home. Millions of companion animals are taken in each year by animal rescue organizations 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 these animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Jackson area — are still waiting for their forever homes. If you need some help in your search, Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We compile 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 Ruby, a Shepherd up for adoption. Or 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.
