Animal Shelters in Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia has 25 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. About half are rescue organizations. Phila. and Camden, NJ, both within about five miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Philadelphia — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
Philadelphia has 25 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 Philadelphia County and Montgomery County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.
If nothing here suits, Phila., Camden and Cinnaminson all have listings within about seven miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Some listings here carry 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.
