    Animal Shelters in Birmingham, AL

    Birmingham has 17 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. The largest group are rescue organizations. Vestavia and Homewood, both within about two miles, have listings of their own. Somewhere on this list is a Birmingham dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

    Birmingham has 17 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The listings fall across Jefferson County and Shelby County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.

    If nothing here suits, Vestavia, Homewood and Hoover all have listings within about 10 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Every listing here carries a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
