Do you want to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the Albany community at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many pets are still looking for their forever home and animal shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions and place pets with families. 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. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin your search for an adorable new family member is at Animalovers, where Alfie the cat is waiting patiently, or another local animal pound. 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 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.
