-- Adopting a friend --

Please call the shelter if you are interested in adopting any of the pets. Although we try our best to update this page, we cannot guarantee that the information here is up-to-date. Please note that the shelter is unable to 'hold' animals. Stray animals taken to the shelter are held for three business days to allow the owner to reclaim the pet. If they are not reclaimed they are available for adoption. Owner surrendered pets typically are available for adoption or rescue immediately. The temporary adoption fee per the Director is a non refundable $65.00 for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. The adoption fee covers the surgical sterilization, a one year rabies vaccination and a booster vaccination. If the pet is already spayed/neutered, the adoption fee is only $15

To see available cats go to: https://www.facebook.com/valenciacats

This facility does NOT have a foster program. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please contact a rescue nearby. All of our valued Rescues are in need of dedicated foster homes.

Jack 🖤

🐾 61133768
🐾 1 Year 9 Months
🐾 German Shepherd Mix
🐾 Owner Surrendered ( moving )
🐾 Neutered

Jack never expected to lose the only home he knew.

His family moved and left him behind, and now this handsome boy finds himself sitting in a shelter kennel, wondering where everyone went. It’s hard to imagine how confused and heartbroken he must feel. One day he had a home, and the next he was surrounded by unfamiliar sights, sounds, and faces.

Despite everything, Jack continues to greet people with hope in his eyes. He hasn’t given up on finding someone who will love him forever. He is a beautiful dog with so much love left to give, and he deserves a family that will see his worth and promise to never leave him behind again.

Jack isn’t looking for perfection, just a warm bed, a kind heart, and a place where he can finally feel safe and loved. Could you be the person who gives him the second chance he deserves?

Please come meet Jack and see for yourself what a special boy he is. Sometimes the dogs with the saddest stories make the most loyal companions.

Meet & greets are always recommended if you have fur babies and children.

Jack has already lost his home. Let’s not let him lose his chance at a happy ending too.

Meet Axel, a handsome boy with a heart as big as his smile. Axel first arrived at the shelter back in January, and since then he has worked so hard toward a brighter future.
