Bel Air: Pets Available For Adoption Nearby

If you?re looking to add a fluffy ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, start with these shelters in and around Bel Air for a pet up for adoption.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home in Maryland — and many are located near you. On a search for a new four-legged companion? Consider looking around at a local shelter like Humane Society Of Harford County, where Tigger 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 permanent homes.

With help from our friends at Petfinder, Patch has amassed 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 Bamboo 3, 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.
