Clean shelter with plenty of space for taking walks on. There are hardly any animals (which is good?!) and they let the few stay in the shelter so they can be adopted. They could help out other shelters which are overloaded so their space can be used.

NOT a no kill shelter. Took a kitten in with something wrong with its arm. We called and left a message regarding the situation and they called back saying 100% take the kitten in to see them. They didn't even take images/x-rays to see what was wrong, just claimed it was hissing and swatting. Obviously.. it's in pain, it’s arm was broken or dislocated! Then called an hour later to say they euthanized it instead of treating it. Absolutely unacceptable. We even asked for them to call before they euthanized it so we could take it to a vet instead and they refused and just euthanized it instead. The kitten was fighting to live and they took its life. Beyond disappointed. Do better. DO NOT take your animals here!

I had a good experience with Hayward Animal Shelter when I called in on a Saturday for a found older male dog. I was in fear for this poor old fellow because he seemed lost and by the fact of is age. They told me they would come and pick him up as soon as the could. To my surprise it was quite quickly. I call 3 days later for an update on the doggie an he was reunited with his family!

I need my animals back in my life.

Veletha Fletcher | Aug 22, 2018
Javier Nunez | Aug 22, 2018

You can get them back of they didn't take them from you for abuse. But if they found them you should be able to get them for a little fee. Because they spade/neu and give rabies shots I believe

Can we come and spend time with the dogs ? Pet them and play with them

Trishala Prasad | Aug 21, 2020
Ángela Prado | Aug 21, 2020

Coincidentally not, unless you volunteer. On the first Saturday of the month at 9:00 am you can have information on how to become a volunteer.

Does the Hayward location do spay/neuter for dogs?

Marilyn Cervantes | Aug 22, 2019
Cristal | Aug 22, 2019

They had a special Dog Fair the day I went . Adoption was free and they gave my lil guy his shots and, unfortunately, neutered him. They also chipped him. I think they sent him off to another location for that though. I had to pick him up a week after adoption. I really suggest that place. 👍

can you reclaim your pet from shelter

A Google User | Aug 22, 2018
Javier Nunez | Aug 22, 2018

Yes you can. You would just need to provide proof that the pet is yours and I'm almost positive they well vaccinate and neuter or spade the animal while they have it with them, then pay a fee.

Susana Samorano | Aug 22, 2019

Can you rent traps from here to catch some community cats to get them spayed/neutered?

Zoey 911 | Aug 22, 2019
Johnny Medeiros | Aug 22, 2019

If that is your true intention I thinks it's a good idea if the cats dont have a owner but some trappers kill cats after trapping because they are a nuisance to them but that is very very cruel and illegal .

Do you have rabbits/bunnies

[Epic] Cristian Garcia | Aug 22, 2019
angela maria | Aug 22, 2019

Yes, the shelter usually has rabbits. You may want to call and ask. Shelter openn Saturday's 1-5pm.

Is it just volunteer work or do you get paid I want to work at the animal shelter with my boyfriend adam

Jenna Darwin | Aug 22, 2018
Cyndi Schaar | Aug 22, 2018

I would assume that you would get paid if you have experience and apply for a position that states that its a paid position. But not likely if you're just trying to be there cause of a bf.

Are you a no kill sgelter

Aleshani A. | Aug 22, 2018
Tatiana Hernandez | Aug 22, 2018

They are a public shelter. Legally, they have to take in every animal that comes in through their doors. Because of that, they sometimes have to euthanize for lack of space. Lately, the H.A.S. has been receiving a lot of help from local rescues and non-profit shelters, that they have more room. More room=less euthanasia
