Dublin: Cats, Dogs, Pets Available For Adoption At Area Shelters

Do you want to add a new member to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Perhaps it's finally time to adopt a pet! Local shelters in Dublin and environs have dogs, cats and other animals ready and waiting for someone to take them home.

Millions of companion animals are surrendered or 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 shelter pets are adopted each year, according to ASPCA data. On a search for your new family member? Consider checking out a local shelter like East Bay Spca Dublin Adoption Center, where Yang 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 cat person, meet Laiyah, a Domestic Short Hair up for adoption. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are several great dogs available, too.

Click on any listing for more information or to start the adoption process.
