Missoula: Cats, Dogs, Pets Available For Adoption Nearby

If you've been wanting to add a four-legged ball of love and affection to your life, you should check out these Missoula area shelters for a pet you can take home.

There are thousands of dogs, cats and other animals of all ages, sizes and breeds without a home across Montana — and many are located within driving distance. For those looking to adopt, a great place to start your search for your new fur child is at Animeals, where Nova the cat is waiting patiently, or another local rescue center. 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.

Here at Patch, with a little help from our friends at Petfinder, we compile a list each week of all the pets recently put up for adoption in your area. If you're a dog person, meet Ruby Roo, a Coonhound mix up for adoption. If cats are more your thing, there are several great cats available, too.

Click on any listing to learn more about a pet or to start the adoption process.
