Animal Welfare & Enforcement

In an evolving response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the shelter kennel has reopened with a maximum occupancy of 25 people.

When visiting the shelter, patrons should follow CDC guidelines such as:

• Practice social distancing; maintain a distance of six feet or more between people from different households at all times
• Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently; use hand sanitizer
• Practice coughing and sneezing etiquette
• Wear a face covering as much as possible when in public
• Stay home if you’re feeling sick or exhibiting symptoms of illness

What to know before you go:

• The center has limited occupancy; you may be directed to wait in your car or in our education room. Please follow the posted signage
• There are no holds of animals at any time
• Completing the online adoption/foster application will help to speed the process when you arrive for your meet and greet with potential new pets
• You can bring family members and current pets to your meet and greet, but please be mindful of the maximum capacity and others waiting their turn
• Gloves are available for visitors
• As always, all adoptable pets have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped
• Per County ordinance (Sec. 66-7), overnight camping is prohibited

Animal Welfare and Enforcement is following all guidance provided by the CDC and the National Animal Control Association in response to COVID-19.
