Whats the best way to find an animal shelter?
Animal shelters are called by a variety of names, so look in the yellow pages of your phone book under such listings as “animal shelter,” “humane society,” or “animal control.” Public animal care and control agencies often are listed under the city or county health department or police department. An increasing number of shelters have Web sites, and many of them show pictures of animals available for adoption. Shelter policies and procedures may vary, but all shelters have animals waiting for loving homes.
