Want to add a furry friend to your family and make a positive impact on the Reno community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many animal shelters in Reno and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through. There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in Nevada — and many of them are located not too far from you. If you're on a search for a new companion, consider beginning at a local rescue facility like Spca Of Northern Nevada, where Sophie 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 permanent 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 dog person, you might like Gordo, a Miniature Bull Terrier 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.
