Animal Shelters in Tacoma, WA

Tacoma has four listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Pierce County. About half are rescue organizations. University Place and Federal Way, both within about seven miles, have listings of their own. A handful of places, and behind each of them a dog or cat hoping this is the week.

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

If nothing here suits, University Place, Federal Way and Puyallup all have listings within about eight miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

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.
