    Animal Shelters in Utah

    Utah has 119 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 21 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Salt Lake City has more than any other Utah city, followed by Riverton and Cedar City. Somewhere on this list is a Utah dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

    Utah has 119 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.

    Salt Lake City has more than anywhere else in Utah, followed by Riverton, Cedar City and Ogden. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

    Salt Lake, Utah and Washington counties have the most, though listings reach 21 of Utah's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

    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.
