Many shelters do not have the time or resources to help look for a pet individually. Many require on-site searches by the owner, in order to find a pet. Please be aware that some of these phone numbers may be extremely busy, or may not have personnel to respond to individual requests. But, you may wish to try to contact the shelter before going in person, as pet locations and operating times change on an as-needed basis. Most pets are pictured on petfinder.com, but some shelter sites have also posted photos, taken at their shelters. Please go to each Website to see which shelters post photos, as this changes frequently.
