We never euthanize animals for time or space. We accept animals in all medical and behavioral conditions. Consequently, humane euthanasia may be an option for extreme medical and behavioral or public safety issues. We are a municipal sheter and therefore, we bear the responsibility for public safety and health of the community, and above all else, the humane treatment of animals.
We do not offer wildlife services. Please call a Wildlife Exclusion Service or Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue Hotline at (707) 526-9453 or visit their website for more information.
Please review the detailed information on our Found Animal page, which includes information for all types of stray animals and the protocols for reporting them, including stray kittens with or without a momma cat.
Community cats are cats without owners, and generally not tame and are afraid of people. They are also known as feral cats. Please review our Spay and Neuter page for more information and how we can help.
If you are unable to keep the animal for any reason, you may return it during the first two weeks after adoption by scheduling an appointment. While you will not receive a refund, in most cases you will have a credit on file towards another adoption.
If you have had the animal longer than two weeks, the return will be treated as an owner surrender, subject to fees and your name will go on a waiting list.
If you have any behavioral concerns with your new pet, contact one our Animal Health Technicians for support. Please keep in mind it may take several weeks for your new pet to adjust to life outside the shelter. Most of our animals will need professional training or an experienced pet owner.
A microchip is a barcoded device the size of a rice grain implanted under the skin of your pet. The barcode represents a number. When an animal is taken to a shelter or veterinarian, or picked up by an animal services officer, it can be scanned for a microchip. If one is detected, the nunber is researched for animal, owner, implant facility and manufacturer information. All animals leave our shelter with a microchip. If you wish to have your pet microchipped, we can do so at our facility for a fee if you animal is friendly.
Having a microchip helps identify a stray animal and can provide a means for reuniting it with its owner. If your pets are microchipped, remember to update the microchip provider your with current addresses, phone numbers, email and secondary contacts.
For more information about microchipping, please review our License and Microchip page.
If you live in Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, Unincorporated Sonoma County or Windsor, visit our License and Microchip page for information on fees, how to register your pets and why licensing is important.
