    Animal Shelters in Santa Monica, CA

    Santa Monica has 10 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Los Angeles County. Most are rescue organizations. Venice and Pacific Palisades, both within about three miles, have listings of their own. Most are living in foster homes rather than kennels, which means someone has already learned what makes each of them tick.

    Santa Monica has 10 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.

    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 Santa Monica listings all fall in Los Angeles County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Venice, Pacific Palisades and Marina Del Rey all have listings within about four 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.
