Latest Pets Up For Adoption In The Gentilly Area

Looking to add a new member to your family? Look no further than these Gentilly animal shelters for a pet available for adoption. Many pets are still looking for their forever home and shelters are still working to fulfill adoptions.

Over 6 million pets and other companion animals are surrendered to rescue organizations each year 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 Gentilly area ? are still waiting for their forever 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 about a pet or to start the adoption process.
