Animal Shelters in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has 438 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 55 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Philadelphia has more than any other Pennsylvania city, followed by Pittsburgh and Mechanicsburg. There is no shortage of choice in Pennsylvania — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.
Pennsylvania has 438 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.
Philadelphia has more than anywhere else in Pennsylvania, followed by Pittsburgh, Mechanicsburg and Allentown. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.
Montgomery, Allegheny and Philadelphia counties have the most, though listings reach 55 of Pennsylvania'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.
