Animal Services
Enrichment Area
The enrichment area at our Animal Care and Adoption Center is now complete! Enrichment areas are crucial for animals as they provide the necessary stimulation to maintain their physical and mental health leading to improved well-being, reduced stress, and a better quality of life!
Adoptions
We are still offering adoptions FREE of charge! Dogs adopted from our Animal Care and Adoption Center are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, offering great savings for future pet owners. If you are interested in adopting, visit our Animal Care and Adoption Center located at 16648 E St. during our adoption hours Monday-Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Seeking Volunteer Fosters
We are also seeking volunteers interested in providing short- or long-term fostering for the animals in our care. Fostering a pet encourages positive behaviors and provides the animal with socialization, which in turn makes them more adoptable! If you are unable to adopt but would like to give one of these incredible animals a loving home even for just a weekend, please contact our Animal Services Team.
For more information, vv.city/animalcare or call (760) 955-5089.
