    Animal Shelters in Montana

    Montana has 85 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 20 counties. About half are animal shelters. Billings has more than any other Montana city, followed by Kalispell and Great Falls. Most of these have doors you can walk through, and there is no substitute for meeting a dog or cat in person.

    Montana has 85 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 shelters and humane societies, 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.

    Billings has more than anywhere else in Montana, followed by Kalispell, Great Falls and Chinook. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

    Flathead, Yellowstone and Gallatin counties have the most, though listings reach 20 of Montana's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

    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.
