I came in just browsing for a cat and a staff member named Jocelyn was the most welcoming and nicest employee I encountered. She was polite and very helpful with me. If anyone walks into this place I recommend talking to her about the animals for adoption. And this shelter is very clean and the animals seem in good health. Absolutely love it here. Might even consider adopting for real now.

Bad Customer service . Called 3 times and left a message to adopt a dog . They never picked up and called me back. Then I sent a email to come see the dog and adopt it . They email back telling me to call to Set up a appointment. So I called and they didn't pick up again. I left a message and they never called back with any info. I wanted to get a dog form a Shelter , but I am just going to buy a Breeder dog now.

Honestly surprised to see some horrible reviews for this shelter, since we had such an incredible experience! My husband and I were looking to adopt a dog and had several bad experiences when reaching out to other shelters both nearby and far. We stumbled across Upland Animal shelter and took a risk - jumped in the car to make the drive from Santa Barbara with no appointment, and no high hopes. We were pleasantly surprised as the adoption team was SO kind and immediately let us walk-in to view the pup we had our eyes on. The facility was clean, large, and a lot different from the other shelters we had visited. The volunteers were super helpful and even let us browse the other pups, just to see if we were interested in any other dogs. We were also able to do a meet and greet on the spot, and right away, we knew our pup was the one! After talking to the volunteers (we later learned was the interview process), filling out some paperwork, we were able to take our pup home the same day. Even after coming home, Upland Animal Shelter was incredibly helpful with our additional questions, and they even gave us a ton of coupons and guides on how to navigate a new puppy. Thank you Upland Animal Shelter, we are so happy to have little Kona in our lives!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

They do have pricing on adoptions, sometimes a certain animal is sponsored so it's pricing is lower. You should stop by and take a look. They always have a good group of dogs and the staff is helpful.

Miriam Leon | Aug 21, 2018

I am not really sure of how much the puppies cost in this facility, but I recommend that you come to the shelter directly, call them or go to their website for more information. In reality they never charge for the animals themselves only for the services, such as the microchipping, licensing, vaccination, and sterilization.

Do you do volunteering?

Amelia Silva | Aug 20, 2020
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Aug 20, 2020

We have volunteer opportunities for ages 16 and older. The first step is to complete the volunteer application and then sign up for an orientation. Volunteers perform a variety of tasks based on their interests including walking dogs, help cleaning, socializing cats/kittens, special events and more.

Hi, do you guys take stray cats at this moment?

Jack Z | Jul 30, 2022
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Jul 30, 2022

What city are you seeing the stray cats in? That will determine whether we could take them or not. You can call the shelter directly at 909-931-4185 option 4 between 11 AM and 4 PM to speak with a staff member.

What are the time scedule to drop off a stray animal 7 days a week?

Ivette Nicholls | Jul 21, 2022
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Jul 21, 2022

Animal Control should be available most days between 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Since the shelter public hours aren't until 12 noon to 3 PM, I recommend you call Animal Control at 909-931-4185 option 3 before showing up at the shelter. Otherwise, you could stand at the front door without someone being at the front counter to open the door.

There are a lot of dogs with NO leash at the McCarthy park every day. Where can I make a complaint because the animal shelter of Upland doesn't care about this issue

You can call the shelter directly at 909-931-4185 option 4 between 11 AM and 4 PM to speak with a staff member who can provide some local options for you.

Is it possible to foster a dog? Is there any chance that there is a free dog day or any event in general?

angie | Aug 20, 2020
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Aug 20, 2020

We do offer fostering and the first step is to fill out the foster application. You can get that either at the shelter or online at www.friendsofuplandanimalshelter.org under the fostering link. We don't have any large events planned currently but do have smaller adoption events at local PetCo's, Pet Smart's and other Pet Businesses each month. The lists of events is available on our website.

Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Aug 20, 2020

Hello, we do take owner surrenders based on a variety of criteria including if we have space available. All animals are required to be up to date on their vaccinations and there is an owner surrender fee that differs based on if the animal is already spayed/neutered. Please contact the shelter directly to discuss your unique situation.

how much is it to get ur lost dog

Jessika Daniels | Aug 20, 2020
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Aug 20, 2020

Hello, Return to Owners of lost dogs is done by The City of Upland's Animal Control Department, not Friends of Upland Animal Shelter. Friends is the adoption organization at the shelter. The City's Animal Control Officers handle the process of getting lost dogs back to their owners. I do know the fees change based on how long the dog has been at the shelter as well as if the dog is spayed/neutered. If you have a complaint with their process they work for the Police Department and you can call their non-emergency number to speak to the supervisor to complain.

Are there rabbits up for adoption here?

karina Garcia | Aug 21, 2019

Sarah Bray | Aug 21, 2019
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Aug 21, 2019

Hello, The dots serve several purposes. First they match volunteers with the group of dogs they are able to walk. The dots are also an indicator of how easy a dog is to get out of the kennel, leash and walk. Some dogs are green meaning anyone at level green or above can interact with them. Some dogs are yellow or blue indicating they need a more experienced handler. Thanks,

Is this a no kill shelter? I found 2 small dogs( poodles?) I would like to donate. Would you take them?

Nowwhat Manny | Aug 21, 2018
Friends of Upland Animal Shelter | Aug 21, 2018

Friends of Upland Animal Shelter operates with a “no kill” philosophy, dedicated to finding every adoptable animal a loving home. Friends contracts with the City of Upland to maintain the municipal shelter and care for the city's animals. The shelter also cares for sick and aggressive animals that are not always adoptable, and some of these do not make it out of the shelter, so we generally refer to the shelter as “low kill”. The shelter achieves live release rates between 80-90% for all animals (including sick and aggressive that don’t make it). Friends and City Animal Control evaluates all animals that come into the shelter to provide the best, most humane outcome for each. Found (stray) animals found in Upland can be turned in at the Upland Animal Shelter. Animals found in other cities/communities need to be taken to the shelter responsible for the City in which they were found so that owners who may be looking for them have a chance to find them at their local shelter.

Do you take German Shepherds? i have a three year old male he's a little aggressive with some behavioral training he would be a loving dog. I'am willing to pay for half the coast for training. Thanks Diana

Diana Powell | Aug 21, 2018

They take all breeds

Do they take in animals lets say 3 day old kittens

Sniper Riiick | Aug 21, 2018
Andy Peterson | Aug 21, 2018

Yes, we do, depending on the circumstances. If they are your kittens, this is considered an "owner surrender" and there are fees for surrendering your animal(s) at Upland Animal Shelter. If they are stray animals you found, then Upland Animal Shelter typically only accepts them if they were found within the City of Upland boundaries. Animals found outside the City of Upland should be taken to the shelter that serves the community where they were found, so that possible owners of those animals have a chance to come find them at their local shelter. Friends of Upland Animal Shelter does also transfer animals that are available for adoption from other local shelters when space is available.
