Animal Services

Update

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY AND UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Due to unmanageable overcrowding which places all animals at risk for illness and due in part to the closure of the Victorville shelter, the following Shelter operations modifications are in place:

  • Stray animals will no longer be accepted - no exceptions.
  • The SNR program for cats will not operate.
  • The shelter will be open for adoptions and missing animals only.

​Animal Shelter


The fully staffed shelter provides care for animals who are impounded because they have become separated from their owners but will be quickly reunited. The shelter also cares for animals that need to be adopted into a new family and those that must be humanely euthanized.

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.
