Fresno Animal Center
Our Mission
The Fresno Animal Center is dedicated to increasing live outcomes for animals by reducing the euthanasia rate and providing compassionate care for our community's pets. We strive to reunite lost companions with their families while working tirelessly to find loving, permanent homes for those in our care.
Our History and Purpose
Built by the City of Fresno, our center was established to provide essential animal control services and support the health and welfare of our city's animal population. We serve as a vital resource for Fresno residents, addressing the needs of pets and people alike through dedicated shelter and support programs.
How We Operate
Our facility provides temporary kennels for homeless pets while they wait to be reclaimed or adopted into their forever families. We are committed to transparency and community partnerships, utilizing a network of support to ensure every animal receives the attention and care they deserve while in our custody. Through our outreach, we offer resources like spay and neuter services and microchipping to help keep pets safe and healthy in their homes.
The Adopter Connection
Adoption is a joyful partnership that changes lives, and we are here to help you find your perfect match. Our team works closely with each visitor to ensure a thoughtful and successful transition for both the pet and the new family. We believe that every pet has a special place waiting for them, and we take pride in facilitating these heartwarming connections.
