Big Bear Animal Shelter
Our Mission
San Bernardino County Animal Care is dedicated to protecting and serving both pets and the community by providing compassionate care, reuniting lost animals with their families, and finding loving forever homes for those in our care. We are committed to fostering a county where people and pets can thrive together in well-being.
Who We Are
As an animal welfare agency, we operate the Big Bear and Devore Animal Shelters to provide essential services to the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County and the cities of Big Bear Lake, Highland, and Yucaipa. Our work is driven by a deep commitment to animal stewardship, ensuring that every pet receives the care and compassion they deserve while waiting for their next chapter.
How We Care
We believe in maintaining the highest standards of service through a blend of direct shelter care and community-focused support programs. Our facilities provide medical treatment, enrichment, and comfort to our animals, while our dedicated teams and volunteers work daily to keep them healthy and happy. From feeding and cleaning to providing enrichment like 'Wagging Walks' and socialization, we prioritize the emotional and physical health of every animal under our roof.
Your Role as a Partner
Adoption is the start of a beautiful, lifelong journey, and we are here to help you find the perfect match for your family. Our meet-and-greet areas offer a welcoming space for you to interact with our animals, ensuring a thoughtful connection that benefits both you and your new furry companion. We are honored to support you in making a decision that brings joy and fulfillment into your home.
