Looking to add a furry friend to your family and give back to the world at the same time? Adopt a pet from a local shelter! Many animal shelters in Carlsbad and environs are still working to find forever homes for dozens of cats, dogs and other adorable critters coming through.
Millions of pets and other companion animals are surrendered or taken in each year by adoption facilities nationwide, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, only around half of all shelter pets are adopted each year, ASPCA data shows. This means millions of animals — some right here in the Carlsbad 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.
