Animal Care & Control Program

San Bernardino County Animal Shelters:

The Shelter Services Section of the San Bernardino County Animal Care & Control Program is responsible for housing, feeding, and caring for stray, abandoned, unwanted, and mistreated animals of all types and they provide a central point at which citizens may recover their lost pets or adopt a homeless animal.

*NOTE: If you have lost a pet you need to check ALL local shelters (animals do not understand boundaries) and complete a lost book notice at each site. In addition, you should post lost flyers in your neighborood and check animal shelter websites.

	Accept all animals within our service area *(i.e. strays, lost, owner turn-in, sick, injured, etc.)*
	Maintain a clean and healthy surrounding for the animals in our care
	Provide humane housing, vet care, and feeding of animals received
	Provide security for quarantined *(confined)* animals
	Attempt to reunite lost pets with their owners
	Try to find homes for all of the homeless animals and/or animals not retreived by their owners
	Arrange for the return of wildlife to their native homes
	Humanely put animals to sleep who are not adopted, retrieved by their owners, or who are too sick or injured to be placed
	Actively promote the spaying/neutering of all animals
	Provide shelter tours to interested groups. Please call (909) 887-8055 for details.

As a participant in the Very Best Pet Network Program, which pairs animal welfare groups with local Wal-Mart stores, the San Bernardino County Animal Care & Control Program posts photographs of animals that are available for adoption. At least eight (8) photos are posted at the beginning of each month in the Pet Department of the Wal-Mart store that we are partnered with. The Devore Animal Shelter is currently partnered with the Wal-Mart center that is located at 4001 Hallmark Parkway in San Bernardino. So if you are looking to adopt a pet or know of someone who is and you happen to be shopping at this Wal-Mart store, make sure you check out the adoption board. You can also go to the Adoptable Animals section of our website. This has been a life-saving program that has enabled the shelter to reach more adopters. Thank you for caring!"
