For a current list of shelters that have pet accomodations, please visit: http://www.animalsandfamilies.org/shelters.html

If you have shelter needs that include horses or other livestock, please contact us and we will try to find a fostering situation. If you are being threatened please call 911 or your local women's shelter. Many organizations, while not having pet shelters, do work with other non-profits to board the animals of abuse victims until suitable housing can be found.
