I did not have a great experience with the manager but the animals there still deserve to be adopted so I recommend giving it a chance

Miserable worthless government types. People like these are a great example of why you should pay less taxes. Contra costa county is one of the wealthiest counties in california but theyll have you believe theres no money for anything and services are underfunded blah blah. This place should be investigated. The money laundering and county embezzling of funds should be looked at. All staff members should be turned into dog food and these people need to be replaced with a fresh crop of grads who give a flying you know what and are competent.

I loved to have visited this animal services. Staff are friendly and very nice place for animal shelter mostly dogs. My very first visit and easy to fill up adoption questionnaire paperwork. I adopted the German Shepherd mix that I saw online and still available and so wonderful that they let me take it home that day. Yesss I love it.

From the workers to the volunteers everyone was courteous, professional, and also friendly. Unparalleled customer service, If there were an option for 10 stars I would put it! We found our furever pup and are so excited!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Try putting him on Facebook, pet finders, etc. Try the SPCA. Find a NO kill shelter.

My cat has been missing for a week. I just saw a picture of him on your web site. How long do you keep animals before putting them down? It's Friday night and won't be able to pick him up till tomorrow, if he's still alive.

John Wilson | Aug 21, 2020
Loretta Quintana | Aug 21, 2020

The shelter opens at 10am (Tues thru Saturday 10am to 5pm, 7pm on Weds). Go claim your cat - bring proof of ownership (pics, vet bills, etc.).

I don't think CCAS does this for the public. You need to call your vet. I'm sorry about your doggie.

Can you just go there to play and hang out with dogs without having to adopt one?

Sandra Velarde-Alvarez | Aug 22, 2019
SHARI LIGGINS | Aug 22, 2019

Unknown I would say choose a particular dog to have interest in and see what the interaction would be without adoption

My cat has been missing for 2 days. How do I find out if the cat has been brought into the shelter?

Deborah Smith | Aug 22, 2019
J R | Aug 22, 2019

Im so sorry to hear about your missing pet! Ive been looking for my cat as well and i know how hard it is. DONT WAIT to become as active as possible in your search! The Martinez shelter has an amazing team of volunteers ready to answer your questions, give you a tour, as well as advice. There are so many sites available online and im currently using more than a handful but i believe petharbor.com is a good start to see what cats have been turned into shelters in the area. NOTHING is better than going in personally because frightened cats can appear quite different in their pics! I recently found my lost boy cat and I wouldn't have recognized him by his photo...im SO glad i made the trip!! There's A LOT of things you can do to find your cat but a good 1st step is checking petharbor.com RIGHT AWAY & going in to the shelter & register your cat as lost ASAP on Monday (Martinez shelter is closed to the public Sunday/Monday) Good luck, i hope we both find our babies!
