Shelters, Assistance, Spay/Neuter Pittsburgh and Beyond

This is an ever-changing list of resources for pet owners in Pittsburgh and beyond, drawn from my own needs and the needs of many who have asked questions. I’ve included low-cost spay and neuter programs for pets as well as TNR for community cats, after-hours emergency care, help with veterinary bills, pet-friendly rentals in Pittsburgh and across the US and links to shelters for adoption and other services. I will continue adding to it and keeping links updated.
This information is provided for reference only. I am not in any way promoting or endorsing any of the organizations or businesses linked here. This information changes periodically so I check my list quarterly to be certain all the links are still valid. I add new links as I hear of them.
State and national information is immediately below, programs in Pittsburgh are below that.

Dear Bernadette,
I apologize for contacting you via this venue, but I have been unable to find an email address for you. We at the Animal Rescue League are so grateful for your coverage our posts on Facebook and elsewhere. It might interest you to know that we are the only shelter in the region competing in the ASPCA’s 100K Challenge (running now through October). Not only have we made it a priority to reach out to other organizations in the area in, but it would also greatly help us with this endeavor. How can we cooperate and/or collaborate with your organization? We’re trying to reach out to any and all animal welfare organizations in our region and we certainly appreciate all that you do. Please email me at [email protected]. I would love to hear more about your association and what you do. If you can think of any way that we could collaborate, or if you think we could be of any assistance to you, that would be awesome.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
