    Animal Shelters in Seattle, WA

    Seattle has 21 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in King County. Bellevue and Bainbridge Island, both within about 10 miles, have listings of their own. Somewhere on this list is a Seattle dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

    Seattle has 21 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 Seattle listings all fall in King County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Bellevue, Bainbridge Island and Edmonds all have listings within about 12 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most listings here carry a phone number, and some 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.
