Mission Viejo Animal Shelter
Our Mission
At Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, our mission is to protect animals and our community through compassionate care and meaningful human-animal connections. We are dedicated to building a future where every animal is protected and every community member is empowered to care through the strength of the human-animal bond.
Who We Are
Located in Mission Viejo, we serve as a dedicated partner to the communities of Mission Viejo, Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Hills, and Rancho Santa Margarita. We provide vital animal care and control services, ensuring that every pet that comes through our doors receives professional attention in a safe, nurturing environment.
Our Care Model
We are a pro-humane shelter where stray animals are cared for with dignity until they are reunited with their owners or placed in new, permanent homes. Beyond providing daily care, our facility serves as a hub for community support, offering public education on humane care, vaccine clinics, and a robust volunteer program that keeps our center running effectively.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adopting a pet is a joyful, life-changing experience, and we are committed to helping you find the right companion for your lifestyle. We prioritize thoughtful matching over speed, carefully reviewing applications to ensure a successful, lifelong partnership between our shelter animals and your family. Our team is here to guide you through the process, providing support and professional insight as you find your new best friend.
