Animal Shelters and Refuges in Rhône-Alpes

Where to find your nearest pet shelter and how to adopt an animal...

To adopt an animal from a shelter (refuge) take proof of identity (passport or Titre de Séjour) and proof of address (a recent utility bill such as electricity or telephone bill). All shelters charge an adoption fee and most allow a one-month trial period during which the animal may be returned for a refund if the rehoming has not worked out.

English is not spoken at most of these animal shelters.
