Pet Adoption In The Milford Area: See New Local Dogs, Cats & More

Looking to add a furry friend to your family and do something good for the world at the same time? Then you should consider adopting a dog, cat or other kind of pet from a local shelter. Many animal shelters in Milford and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.

Over 6 million companion animals are taken in each year by animal shelters 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 Milford area ? are still waiting for their forever homes.

Need some help in your search? Patch and Petfinder have you covered. We round up a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Alice , a Boxer 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.
