Chicago Area Cats, Dogs & Other Pets Up For Adoption (4/20) (PHOTOS)

We know that practically every week we say this -- but this week's roundup of local adoptable animals might seriously be our favorite bunch yet.

From Miniature Pinscher to Great Pyrenees, Russian Blue to Rex, this is a diverse crop of pets currently staying in Chicago-area animal shelters with the hopes that they might soon be taken away to a new, "furever" home.

Scroll down to check out photos of Chicagoland cats, dogs and other pets that are currently up for adoption at a number of area shelters.
