An animal shelter is a facility dedicated to rescuing, housing, and caring for abandoned, lost, or surrendered animals. These shelters provide temporary refuge for pets until they find loving, permanent homes through adoption. They play a vital role in addressing animal homelessness, promoting responsible pet ownership, and advocating for animal welfare.
Most animal shelters operate as nonprofit organizations, relying on donations, volunteers, and community support to function. Some shelters are municipal and run by local governments, while others are privately managed. In addition to adoption services, shelters often provide medical care, spaying and neutering, behavioral training, and public education on humane treatment of animals.
