Animal Services
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 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.
