Description

If you've been hoping to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these animal shelters in and around Rockford for a pet up for adoption. Over 6 million pets are taken in each year by animal pounds 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 shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Rockford area — are still waiting for their forever homes. Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We've rounded up this week's list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a dog person, you might like Karma , a German Shepherd Dog 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.
