Animal Shelter

An animal shelter is a facility that cares for stray, abandoned, or surrendered animals, primarily cats and dogs, until they find new homes. It provides food, medical care, and shelter to ensure animals are safe and healthy. Shelters often work to locate owners if animals are lost and may offer adoption programs to help animals find loving families. They also promote responsible pet ownership and may provide services like vaccinations and spaying or neutering. Overall, animal shelters serve as a vital community resource, supporting animal welfare and helping reduce local stray populations.
