If you've been looking to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your life, you should check out these Springfield area shelters for a pet you can adopt. Millions of companion animals are surrendered to animal shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Springfield area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've compiled this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Hudson, a Pit Bull Terrier up for adoption. Or if cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too. 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.
