The Hesperia Animal Shelter will close one hour early Saturday, Dec. 9 at 4 p.m. Regular business hours will resume Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 10 a.m.
Update
August 30, 2023 Important Notice:
The shelter is temporarily unable to accept owner turn-ins and stray animals through the lobby. In addition to avoiding euthanizing adoptable animals for space, this will allow staff the time necessary to help connect animals currently in our care with forever homes. Also, we have temporarily suspended the SNR program. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Please call for more information at (760) 947-1700.

Animal Shelter
The need for this agency is due mostly to irresponsible pet ownership and pet over-population. While the benefits of pet ownership are many, pets that are not properly cared for can become not only a nuisance, but also a threat to the health and safety of neighbors.
