Animal Services
Adoption Event at Sprouts Farmers Market
Our Animal Services Team will be at Sprouts Farmers Market April 5 for their one-year anniversary celebration! Stop by our booth and find your “fur-ever” friend between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sprouts Farmers Market is located at 12450 Amargosa Rd. Unit 1, in Victorville.
Seeking Volunteer Fosters
We are seeking volunteers interested in short- or long-term fostering for the animals in our care. Fostering a pet encourages positive behaviors as well as 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.
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 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Fridays 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For more information, vv.city/animalcare or call (760) 955-5089.
