See Latest Pets Up For Adoption At Milford Area Shelters

If you?re looking to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, you should check out these shelters in and around Milford for a pet you can adopt.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages without a home in Connecticut — and many of them are located in your area. If you're on a search for your new fur child, consider beginning at a local facility like Stratford Animal Control, where Jack 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 appropriate homes.

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 or to start the adoption process.
