If you believe your lost animal may be at the Town shelter, please call (760) 240-7555, or visit AVanimals.org and click on Adopt a Pet.

All interested adopters must complete the AVAS adoption application in full and submit by 4:00pm the day prior to the pet’s available date and submit via e-mail. If there are multiple applicants, the adopter will be chosen by random drawing then contacted if they have won the drawing to schedule a meet and greet with your family and any dogs in the household. Meet and greets will be completed by appointment only, with an approved adoption application.

AVAS staff will work with interested adopters/rescuers to determine the best placement for animals in our care. The priority will be placement into a permanent loving home.

The Town of Apple Valley Animal Services Department consists of field and shelter staff that work together to protect public safety and provide humane animal care through sheltering, pet placement programs, education and law enforcement. Our philosophy is to promote responsible pet ownership, compassion toward animals and safe human-animal interactions. We celebrate partnerships with various individuals and rescue organizations that allow us to increase placement of adoptable animals into permanent loving homes. Working together, we all can provide a "Better Way of Life" for the animals in our care - four paws at a time.
