D.I.Y. eats

They weren't helpful at all. Brought a stray to them cause they don't send anyone to retrieve the animals. Lady said that I have to call back and make an appointment to drop the pup off. I told her I didn't live there in Stockton and that I was only visiting for the weekend. She insisted I had to call back "tomorrow" and make an appointment. Only problem is, "tomorrow" was Monday and Monday they're closed. Thanks for nothing.

Very polite and on task staff. My hats off for all you do and deal with. Met a foster mom who had the dog I wanted to adopt. She was so nice. Met and interacted with the dog did some paperwork and brought him home with us. Loving getting to know our new best friend. Thanks so much to all the staff and people willing to foster these animals until they can find their forever home. You are appreciated.

Staff was courteous, professional and helpful. Our escort during the adopted viewing process was patient, and very helpful. The staff was efficient and very professional. I appreciate the assistance, the explanations and the generous sharing of staff experience. They guided and assisted in matching a perfect canine to my needs and wants for the perfect canine family member. Thank you City of Stockton animal shelter staff!

A little doggie showed up on our doorstep. We gave him food, water, and bundled him. Then brought him over to the shelter. They were very sweet with him. There has been a family looking for someone just like him. Happy that he will continue to be loved.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Any vet will scan the dog for a chip for free. Try a local emergency vet since most are closed if you want to do it tonight. Start there then Please post the dog on Nextdoor. It may be a neighbors dog and so many people are members of the social networking page. If your able to temporarily keep the dog (up to 30 days) please do so but contact the shelter during business hours tomorrow to make a report of the dog in case someone contacts the shelter looking for it. Go door to door and ask neighbors if its theirs or if they know who it may belong to. Post the dog on craigslist, the facebook group lost and found pets 209 is amazing at reuniting pets and lostmydoggie.com allows you to post for free, sends out a fax to local vets etc. Its alot of stuff but worth it to help pup get home and it feels so good when you are able to reconnect them with their family. Join Nextdoor, the private social network for neighborhoods, and start connecting with your neighbors. nextdoor.com/!ANNEBU

Lisa Jermanon | Mar 25, 2022
Shorty | Mar 25, 2022

Definitely. All animals adopted through the stockton animal shelter receive microchips. Take this dog to any Veterinarian office (no charge to scan the microchip) or to the shelter and they will scan for a microchip. If the dog has a microchip it will give information about the owner that originally adopted the dog. Best of luck. 😊

Can I surrender a cat and does it cost?

Linda Hankins | Aug 22, 2020
Jamie Apila | Aug 22, 2020

Cats are only received in cat traps for safety purposes. My daughter bought at Harbor Freights. I doubt remember cost. Could Google to call and ask. She then returned the trap for refund. Best condition including box is best. The cats are evaluated for safety/ hostility. Only the severely hostile cat will be put to sleep. They fix them if not already, clip the right ear and release them back into the community. If it's a family pet there is a charge. If it's feral or found no fee. Oh oh if they have room in compound. ..... they're really good at answering all questions on phone. Good luck

All you need is your ID to adopt a dog or cat.all big dogs 25 lbs and over our fee waived and any dog including small dogs that have been there for seven days or longer are also fee waived. But little dogs that are less than 25 lb and have been there for less than 7 days are$118.50.you can come and meet a dog if you're interested in them. We have volunteers who can help you do a little meet and greet.

It is abuse if they are not getting fed and taken care of properly. Call animal services report the situation and they will do a wellness check on the babies and if they find unfit conditions or wrongful conditions they will handle it.

I highly suggest calling the shelter but I believe they quarantine all strays upon arrival. They have to be cautious of any contagious diseases and infections that can be introduced and spread to the other animals. They are viewed by a vet and shots updated prior to being placed with the other animals at shelter.

Please contact the shelter. This only a review site. That said, I'm sure they do. A very practical solution. I would guess they would get you an adult dog. Make sure you understand your breeds. Dogs are as individual as people. 85% of "bad dog" behavior is miscommunication between owner and natural inclinations of furry friends. Also be aware that some dogs can be unexpectedly violent. Make sure you understand your dog's boundaries before you take them home.

Are we able to return pets that we've adopted? I have a cat that I adopted RECENTLY and she's been really distant and aggressive towards me and my family. It's really hard to pick her up because of her stomach, which causes her to be hostile.

seonghwa fx | Aug 23, 2019
Lucky Houston | Aug 23, 2019

Can't add much to what's also been added other than to say that Stockton seems very compassionate and we'll supported by the veterinary community. While not legally bound to take your cat (they could decide not to let you adopt again--not likely) they want your cat cared for. If that can't happen with you, they'd rather you bring her in than let her go. Sometimes returned aggressive cats can be socialized by staff. Sometimes it's just a matter of not having kids, other pets, or even the physical environment. Once this is determined, the cat will be placeable.

Do you euthanasia a very old dog thats really in bad shape and needs to be put down so as not to suffer any more? I am dissabled and can't afford to pay for this can you work with me?

Tman Phillips | Aug 23, 2019
Lucky Houston | Aug 23, 2019

Sergio's answer makes sense. But with the number of compassionate vets that provide services for spay neuter, and chipping, I can't help but think you are on the right track. If you take the dog in and explain your situation they might find a good solution for you. They will also be able to determine your dogs health and potential for recovery. The people there care deeply about animals. Take your fog and make your plea. The site you're getting this information from is an individual experienced with the pound. I am not pound staff only way to know is to take your dog in and tell your story.

I would talk to a vet. Dogs change over time as they advance in age. Before you give her up, try and find out what's wrong, as she has been your family member for 9 years. The shelter won't take her back after this much time. She's YOUR dog. The shelter is over full at this time. There is no room.

Hopefully, the dog was within its own fencing and the child reached in or over the fence. If he was on a leash, that would be a reason to stay back. However, if the child was teasing the dog, the childhood the parent close by, the parent is responsible for the child safety. The dog shouldn't be put down.

Why do you charge so much for a dog licences if they are intact? Also why do you state that they NEED a licence by the age od 6 months or you have to pay more? It doest make sense sounds like your trying to rip of the citizens of stockton.

Leann S. | Aug 23, 2018
Yolanda Quintero | Aug 23, 2018

To get a license for your pet, it MUST be spayed/neutered. That way it cuts down on unwanted pregnancies. Of its older than 6 months, the probability of unwanted pups/kittens is greater. So you have to pay more for license. It's more of a penalty for not taking care of it when your pet couldn't have pups/kittens.

annsie xx | Aug 23, 2018
Barbara Heuring | Aug 23, 2018

You can go there and see and hang out with any dog you would like as long as they are not on a quarantine hold or a confiscation hold

So the shelter will let us take a dog out to the yard to get to know the dog? Will we be accompanied by a staff? I kind of want to be alone? I guess with the dog with no leash? Or is it different?

annsie xx | Aug 23, 2018

Actually both ways. It may depend on how busy it is. But they will provide something yo control the dog
