Consider what type of shelter you need, whether battered and abused women’s shelters, disaster relief sites, stray animal pounds, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, rescue missions, refuge centers, triage centers, or shelters to assist family victims of emergency evacuation situations due to fire, earthquake, flood, hurricane, or tornado. Search for shelters in your area, whether you are a victim, want to adopt an animal, help people in a rescue mission, or volunteer at a soup kitchen. Call each one to get information such as hours, location, directions, confidentiality policy, and history. Make appointments with each to check out the physical location, making sure staff and volunteers are friendly and accommodating, whether the shelter is for animals, a rescue mission, soup kitchen, homeless people, or abused women and children. Find out how you can make a difference at each shelter you contact, such as serving meals, providing care for animals, or helping out with disaster relief. If there is a natural disaster near you, you can go online to a directory of government websites and private centers to learn how you can help and lend a hand with triage, medical services, food distribution, logistics, and general victim assistance. Research the backgrounds of the shelters you consider. Find out if the shelter is part of a local, national, or international entity, with any affiliations. If it involves a refuge for battered women, inquire about confidentiality policies, support, and social work intervention. If you want to adopt an animal, get all the specifics in writing, including fee, shots and vaccinations, adoption certificates, and compatibility with family and children.

Many people stay at a shelter as a temporary living arrangement due to homelessness or abuse. Shelters may offer a safe place to stay, meals, counseling or support groups and job skills training. Shelters that do not offer these services often provide clients with referrals for the services. Some homeless shelters allow anyone to stay at the shelters. Other shelters cater to specific groups such as abused women and children, victims of domestic violence or pregnant teenagers. Shelters may offer clients temporary housing while they search for a more permanent residence. Often shelters are run by nonprofit groups or churches.
