Animal Shelters in Raleigh, NC
Raleigh has 20 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Wake County. Most are rescue organizations. Knightdale and Cary, both within about 11 miles, have listings of their own. Most of these dogs and cats are being fostered by people who will tell you exactly who they are before you decide.
Raleigh has 20 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.
Mostly rescue organizations, 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 Raleigh listings all fall in Wake County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Knightdale, Cary and Morrisville all have listings within about 12 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.
