By using Animal Shelter Directory USA you agree to these terms. Last updated September 27, 2026.
Information only
Listings are compiled from public records and user submissions and may be incomplete or out of date. Confirm hours, adoption policies and fees directly with the shelter or rescue before making plans. Nothing on this site is legal or financial advice.
No endorsement
A listing is not a recommendation, and we are not affiliated with the animal shelters we list unless a page says so. Licensing rules for shelters and rescues vary by state, so check with your state agriculture or animal welfare agency if a license matters to you.
Submissions
When you submit a correction or listing you confirm it is accurate to the best of your knowledge and allow us to publish it. We may edit or decline submissions.
Data attribution
Listings include data from Overture Maps Foundation (CDLA-Permissive-2.0) and OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Place names come from GeoNames (CC BY 4.0) and county and ZIP code boundaries from the US Census Bureau.
