If you are interested in meeting one of our available animals, please fill out an application via our website www.chicoanimalshelter.org and a staff member will contact you to set up an appointment.

We are open noon to 5pm Monday through Sunday by Appointment Only.

The Chico Animal Shelter is located at 2579 Fair Street in Chico, CA.

The Chico Animal Shelter is owned by the City of Chico and operated by the City of Chico Police Department. We take in all stray dogs found in the incorporated area of the City of Chico. People wishing to surrender their dogs are asked to call the shelter to make an appointment. The shelter does not impound healthy stray cats, including feral or trapped cats. Please see our website for more information about stray cats, and where to surrender owned cats. Although we are an open admission shelter, we follow the state policy that no adoptable animal should be euthanized. To that end, we work with rescue groups, humane societies and other organizations to adopt out animals.
