Clean and helpful. The drop off door was stuck shut, so it was off-putting and made me think the office wasn't open til later, even though I had an appointment at a particular time. Calling for directions and information was inconsistent from the agents I queried.

SF Animal Care & Control facilities would make St. Francis of Assisi (Protector of Animals) smile. I appreciate the approach and care the staff provides to pet owners. SF. residents should be proud and appreciative for the establishment because all aspects of care are covered. The surrounding pet adoption facilities and pet medical facilities are state of the art. If you have an opportunity, please stop by for a visit.

I adopted my dog from there ,for one they had his breed mixes very wrong, his age wrong ,it also took me a week to get him to eat dog food cos they gave him to many treats ! They even said he wasn’t nuetered ,when he was neutered before they got him! They had him as a year and a half, he was 10 months old ,they had him as a year and a half ,( vet varied his age ,he had puppy teeth! ) they had him listed as a chi mix and Rex terrier, he is a pug and a cavalier king spaniel ,he is known in breeds a pugulier ! Also should be noted someone from there said I was living in a tent when I have never lived in a tent ever nor was I homeless! He is very bonded to me and hasn’t had to be trained cos he taught himself! He just turned 5 in may! So please people go clear them out, go to a vet of your choosing,and have a dna test done if you can, it’s vital to all dogs to know their dna and breeds for their health and welfare and future! So please people clear the shelters ! It also should be mandatory that they themselves spay and neuter all animals they have to stop unwanted puppies from being born and abandoned and stop all back yard breeders ! They can afford it,after all look at the price it costs to adopt! They think it’s to stop animals from getting into the wrong homes ! Oh and I met the previous owner to my dog,she had the nerve to ask if she could visit him,I told her no!

Wow this place was amazing! They take such great care of the animals, each animal had a large individual cage and was happy and enthusiastic. The food was provided around the clock as were treats. Most importantly the majority of the staff there had been working for many years at the same location. That meant they had nice connections to the animals and understood the community they were adopting animals to. All in all an excellent place they also accept donations this is definitely a place that uses the donations wisely.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Do they accept donations of bedding (sheets and pillows)?

Eden Harris | Aug 20, 2020
Sierra P | Aug 20, 2020

Blankets, sheets and towels, clean of course. Awesome! Often animals with heath issues use items that cannot be reused so they ALWAYS need bedding and towels

There is a dog that was on (fox news 2 -10/06/2021 9:30 am ) about the dog travels on bart and the ferry services from alameda to Oakland it was a story on the dog travels .The news reported it was a homeless and had no owner.

I believe if you call the shelter and hit 0 as soon as you get an option to navigate the system you'll be able to talk to somebody immediately. You didn't actually ask a question but I'm assuming you're curious about the status of that puppy.

How does one report nuisance dogs in the neighborhood? They bark all the time at night, setting off all the other dogs. It's really irritating and disruptive.

Sally Pina | Aug 20, 2020

Depending on your motivation here are the only options I know of. First, speak to the neighbors to try to get a resolution if willing and able. If the dogs sleep inside, humans and dogs will sleep better. Second, As this is a dispute about noise by a neighboring unit, its a legal matter, so non-emergency police if renting or civil court if you own. However the dogs are not hurting anyone or behaving illegally, so you may not get anywhere. I highly recommend adding in a sound machine and a fan to your sleeping area as it is excellent for white noise. Maybe even try wax earplugs (see watertight ear plug swimming, also at any pharmacy) which will actually stay put. Worst case you can move to a no pet building and get some permanent relief or out of an urban environment. This city may have the highest dog to person concentration, so knoe your audience.

There’s a fledgling hummingbird on my patio feathered but unable to fly away. An adult feeds it from time to time, but I’m worried that it’ll suffer from the cool weather or some other creature. Should I intercede somehow?

If there is a bush close by you could gently put the bird there to keep it safe from cats(hopefully).

You need to call SFACC and they would be the most informed to answer your question.

what do I need to have my dog certified as an animal support dog

Adrienne Jonas | Aug 20, 2020
Sierra P | Aug 20, 2020

Letter from any medical or mental health provider including social workers. If u see anyone start there. If not there are places that can do a 1x eval. All u need to know is how the dog will help you. Anxiety, seizures, etc. Depending on the type different accommodations are allowed. However any business can only ask if they are a service dog and what service they provide. (Non specifically, my dog helps with countering dissociation re: ptsd) they cant push so know your rights. Housing and work can ask more but u have the right. Check your lease if its for your home. If it's prohibited get a dr note before approaching your landlord. Did that help?

And how is that?

Question on regarding dogs barking. Someone I know has filed a report for excessive barking, two dogs. I think she may have filed with the police department, but I think it would be with animal control? Apparently there are several neighbors too.

How do I register new dog for rabies license

Laura Small | Aug 21, 2019
Nicole Koenig | Aug 21, 2019

First, you have to get the paperwork from your vet that shows proof that your dog has had their rabies shots. If I remember correctly, I received all of the necessary paperwork from my vet. Then you take all of that to animal care and control to register your dog .

Has there been a reversal on putting down healthy cats and dogs who are adoptable now? I had thought this practice had stopped. I tell people its better than dumping, but if the kill shelter is back...

Nancy Louise McCormick | Aug 21, 2018
Robyn P | Aug 21, 2018

SFACC isn't no kill, it's just low kill. They do have a policy of not euthanizing animals for space. Every time I've been there, their cages are mostly empty (possibly because the majority of adoptable animals wind up at SFSPCA)

How much to get a car Spade or neutered??

Is this a no kill shelter?

Che-Niya Minor | Aug 21, 2018
Michael Shaulis | Aug 21, 2018

They do not identify as 'no kill' because the term is misleading. There are always a certain number of pets that will not be candidates for rehoming due to major medical issues or aggression. Their release rate is 90%, significantly higher than the national average of ~35%. Their staff does everything possible for every pet.
