Solano County Sheriff's Office Animal Care Division

Our Mission

Solano County Animal Care is devoted to providing comfort, care, and compassion to animals in need through shelter, education, adoption, spay/neuter, and community outreach. We are committed to the welfare of all animals residing in our county.

Serving Our Community

We proudly serve the seven cities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Rio Vista, Suisun City, Vacaville, and Vallejo. Our team works tirelessly to support our residents and ensure every stray, injured, abandoned, or unwanted animal receives the professional care they deserve.

Our Commitment to Care

Our dedicated team at our Fairfield facility is working towards a common goal to increase our live release rate, boost animal-to-owner reunifications, and decrease euthanasia. We provide a safe, compassionate shelter environment while also offering essential services like low-cost vaccinations, microchipping, and spay/neuter appointments to help pets stay healthy and with their families.

Find Your New Best Friend

We believe in the joy of creating new, lasting partnerships between animals and their humans. When you choose to adopt from us, you aren't just finding a companion; you are participating in a compassionate community effort to give deserving animals a second chance at a loving home. Our beautiful cat and dog adoption areas are open for you to visit and connect with your future family member.

Get Involved

Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or support our mission, we invite you to be a part of our journey. Stop by our shelter in Fairfield to meet our wonderful team, check our Facebook page for upcoming adoption events, or consider making a tax-deductible donation to help us continue our vital work for the animals of Solano County.

10/23 - 🚨 We Need Our Community's Help 🚨 Recently, Animal Control responded to a seizure case involving an extraordinary number of large-breed dogs. Our kennels were already full before they arrived, pushing our shelter beyond capacity. To make room for the daily influx of stray animals, we had to find temporary housing options throughout Solano County for some of these dogs. Now, we need your help. 🆘️Found a pet? Keep as long as possible to find owner before bringing to the shelter. Email a found report to animalcareclinic@solanocounty.gov 🏡 REDEEM – If you recognize your pet, or someone you know is missing a pet, please reach out immediately. We have programs available to help reunite pets with their families and make bringing them home as easy as possible. ❤️ ADOPT – Every adoption opens a kennel for another animal in need. When you adopt, you're not just saving one life—you create space for the next pet that has nowhere else to go. 🐾 FOSTER THROUGH A RESCUE – While we're not actively seeking direct shelter fosters at this time, we encourage anyone interested in fostering to contact a local rescue group. When a rescue pulls an animal into its program, it frees up valuable kennel space while giving that pet the care it needs. Every kennel matters. Every adoption matters. Every reunion matters. 🐶 View adoptable pets: https://24petconnect.com/SolanoCountyAdoptablePets 🆘️View intakes: https://24petconnect.com/SolanoCountyStrayPets 📍 Solano County Animal Care 2510 Clay Bank Rd.
