Pet Fostering and Adoptions

Find your “fur-ever” friend at our adoption event this Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Costco, 14555 Valley Center Dr.

If you can't make it Saturday, you can also meet available pets at our Animal Care & Control Office, Mon.-Thur. 11 a.m.- 3 p.m. and Fri. 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

If you aren't able to adopt, please consider becoming a short- or long-term volunteer foster to give the animals in our care the socialization and attention they need to remain adoptable.

Our Animal Care & Control staff also offers free pet licensing and microchipping for Victorville residents with a valid rabies vaccine during special monthly events between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at our office on Amargosa Road. This month, join us on Aug. 24.
