Animal Shelter

The animal-shelter icon represents a place where animals are cared for and protected, often with the goal of finding them a forever home.

It is commonly used in applications related to animal welfare, such as pet adoption websites, animal rescue organizations, and charity fundraising campaigns.

From a UX perspective, the animal-shelter icon communicates a sense of compassion and care, and helps users understand that a particular feature or section is related to supporting animal welfare.

Animal Shelter is one of 418 icons in Maki, made by Mapbox and released under CC0. It is drawn on a 15 × 15 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds AnimalShelterIcon to components/icons/maki-animal-shelter.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed AnimalShelterIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Animal Shelter icon, or any of 418 Maki icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 15 × 15 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Animal Shelter", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. AnimalShelterIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AnimalShelterIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

CC0 puts the icons in the public domain: use them anywhere, with no conditions. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No. CC0 gives the icons to the public domain, so no credit and no notice is required. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI still start with a comment naming Maki, Mapbox and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are rescue, charity and animals. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Animal Shelter in another set.
