Decatur-Avondale Estates Area Pets Who Need A Home: Britta, Reese & More

Want to add a shaggy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family and give back to the Decatur-Avondale Estates community at the same time? Maybe it's finally time to adopt a pet! Local shelters in and around Decatur-Avondale Estates have dogs, cats and other kinds of pets ready and waiting to be adopted.

Across Georgia, there are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home — and many of them are located within driving distance. If you're on a search for a new fur child, consider beginning at a local animal pound like Releash Atlanta, where Pedro the dog 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 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.

Editor?s note: This list was automatically generated using data compiled by Petfinder. If you're a local shelter looking to see your adoptable pets appear on Patch, you'll need to list them through Petfinder. All readers are encouraged to report errors or other feedback to content@patch.com.
