Sites to See: Finding Local Animal Shelters

July & August 2004




Adopt-a-Pet
The site provides a state-by-state list of local animal shelters, plus lists of shelters specializing in dogs, birds, reptiles, and others.

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
ASPCA is the oldest humane society in America. Its site offers a National Shelter Directory that lets you search by city or ZIP code to find the closest shelter to you.

Humane Society of the United States
The Humane Society's site points to Pets911.com's search tool for help in finding local shelters. But its own site still offers helpful info about animal shelters—such as how to volunteer at your local animal shelter and what to do if you have concerns about your local shelter.

MuttCats.com
The site's Pet Shelter Directory is a state-by-state listing of local animal shelters.

PetFinder.com
This site's search tool helps you find shelters by location—or search for specific pets by animal type, age, your location, and more.
