Antioch Animal Services has serviced the city of Antioch since 1979. We are the only city in Contra Costa County to offer its own animal services program. While we serve as an open-door shelter to the residents of Antioch, our animals can be adopted to residents in and out of Antioch.
Animal Services is a division of the Antioch Police department, and houses the city’s Animal Control department. Our Animal Control Officers' responsibilities include patrolling the city streets and picking up and confining stray, sick, injured, vicious and deceased animals.
Our public services include low-cost micro chipping, dog licensing, and pet adoptions.

We only accept animals found within the Antioch city limits. However, you do not have to be a resident of Antioch in order to adopt a pet.
Additional adoption info
Once you have identified an animal you are interested in, we will have you spend time getting acquainted with your new friend. Since this will be a family pet, we do require that you bring in your children as well as your other dogs from home, so that we can ensure your new pet gets along with everyone in your family.
Also, be advised that if you rent, we will need to personally contact your landlord to verify that it is OK for you to bring home a pet.
For all dogs and cats, we require that they be spayed or neutered by an Antioch vet before they go home. Adoption fees vary according to the animal you select. Please feel free to speak to a staff member for more information regarding our adoption fees.
