animal shelters
Stray housing facilities
Animal shelters are facilities that house stray, abandoned, or surrendered pets—primarily dogs and cats—until they can be adopted or reclaimed by owners.
Some are run by municipal governments, others by nonprofit organizations.
Shelters range from no-kill facilities that keep animals indefinitely to those that euthanize after a holding period.
We adopted our dog from the local animal shelter.
