There's a place in your community where the hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, and the abandoned are comforted. It's your local animal shelter, where care is provided for your area's homeless animals.

Shelters also offer many other services for pets and their owners—and even for people without pets. To do all this, they rely on the support of people like you. Whether you're here to simply find your local shelter or you have concerns about animal issues in your community, we can help. Follow the links below to get all the information and resources you need.

Remember: It is everyone's responsibility to ensure that animal shelters and animal control programs are adequately funded and supported so they can provide the services that help all members of the community—both two- and four-legged.
