Brandon: Pets Up For Adoption At Area Shelters

If you've been looking to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, start with these animal shelters in the Brandon area for a pet you can adopt.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages and sizes without a home in Florida — and many are located not too far from you. On a search for a lovable new companion? Consider looking around at a local animal shelter like A Kitten Place, where Danny 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.

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 cat person, meet Darby, 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 to learn more about a pet or to start the adoption process.
