Scottsdale: Cats, Dogs, Pets Up For Adoption Nearby

If you've been hoping to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your family, you should check out these shelters in the Scottsdale area for a pet up for adoption.

Millions of pets and other companion animals are surrendered to animal shelters each year nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only half of all shelter animals ? about 3.2 million ? are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. This means millions of animals ? some right here in the Scottsdale area ? are still waiting for their forever homes.

With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has compiled 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, meet Remy, a Siberian Husky mix up for adoption. 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.
