Animal rescue: Guide to animal shelters in Pennsylvania

When looking for an animal shelter in any state, there are several things to keep in mind. First and foremost, do your research. Visit the organization's web page, call and speak with someone, or visit the location yourself. You do not want to waste your time with a shady operation.

As far as Pennsylvania is concerned, there are several websites to help you get started. The most useful sites are as follows:

Pennsylvania Animal Shelters - http://www.humaneinpa.org/coun tyshelters.html
Lists Shelters Alphabetically by County

Adopt-A-Pet.com - http://www.adoptapet.com/direc tory/US/PA/NAME/1
Details whether the organization is non-profit and no-kill facility

Net Pets - http://www.netpets.com/dogs/do gresc/pennsylvania.htm
Lists Shelters Alphabetically by City

Petfinder - http://www.petfinder.com

The four sites above should be able to help you locate a Pennsylvania shelter to meet your needs. If you prefer to get advice from other people, talk to your local veterinarians, pet store owners, groomers, dog park employees, or fellow pet owners for feedback.
