Big Bear Animal Shelter
Our Mission
San Bernardino County Animal Care, including the Big Bear Animal Shelter, is dedicated to protecting and serving both pets and the community. Our mission is to promote responsible pet ownership, reunite lost pets with their families, and place unwanted animals into loving, forever homes.
Serving Our Community
As an animal welfare agency, we provide vital programs and services to the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, as well as the cities of Big Bear Lake, Highland, and Yucaipa. Our commitment is rooted in the values of care, compassion, and the highest standards of performance to ensure people and their pets can prosper together.
How We Provide Care
Our shelters serve as a safe harbor where animals receive daily care, enrichment, and medical attention. Our dedicated staff and officers work tirelessly to monitor health and behavior, ensuring each animal is supported while they wait for their perfect match. We also believe in the strength of community, collaborating with foster families and rescue partners to broaden our reach and save more lives.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and our team is here to help you find the pet that best fits your family and lifestyle. Our meet-and-greet areas offer the perfect environment for you to interact with our animals and build a bond before you take them home. Because we value your success, we provide resources and support to ensure a smooth transition for both you and your new companion.
