    Animal Shelters in Portland, OR

    Portland has 34 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations. Happy Valley and Milwaukie, both within about seven miles, have listings of their own. There is no shortage of choice in Portland — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.

    Portland has 34 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 Multnomah County and Clackamas County, so it is worth checking which one a shelter serves before travelling.

    If nothing here suits, Happy Valley, Milwaukie and Gresham all have listings within about eight miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most 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.
