Description

Looking to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family? Look no further than these Charleston animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many pound animals are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to place pets with families. About 6.5 million companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by shelters 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, ASPCA data shows. If you're on a search for a new four-legged friend, consider beginning at a local facility like New Hope Animal Rescue, where Columbo 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. 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.
