Pet Adoption In The Palmetto Bay-Cutler Area: See The Latest Pets

If you?re wanting to add a fluffy ball of love and affection to your household, you should check out these Palmetto Bay-Cutler area animal shelters for a pet to take home.

Over 6 million pets are surrendered or taken in each year by animal shelters nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all animals are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. For those looking to adopt, a great place to begin the search for a lovable new four-legged friend is at Paws 4 You Rescue Inc, where Jerry the dog is waiting patiently, or another local adoption agency. 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 rounded up this week?s list of animals available for adoption near you. If you're a cat person, meet Juniper, a Tortoiseshell 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.
