Newly Adopted Manassas Area Pets: Meet Kittens & More

If you’re looking to add a ball of four-legged love and affection to your family, look no further than these Manassas area animal shelters for a pet you can take home.

According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, approximately 6.5 million pets and other pets are taken away by rescue organizations nationwide each year.

Of these, approximately 3.3 million are dogs and 3.2 million are cats. Shelters often look after other animals looking for a permanent home, including pigs, birds and even horses.

However, only half of all shelter animals – about 3.2 million – are adopted each year, according to data from the ASPCA. This means that millions of animals – some right here in the Manassas region – are still waiting for their homes forever.

With the help of our friends at Petfinder, Patch this week created the list of animals available for adoption near you. If you love cats, meet kittens, a medium-haired household to adopt. Or if dogs are more your thing, there are also several large dogs available.

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

Editor’s Note: This list was automatically generated from data compiled by Petfinder. If you’re a local shelter and 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 comments to [email protected].
