What is the use of the microchips that they put in the hostel?

ana felix | Jul 10, 2022
Jasper Moss | Jul 10, 2022

Porque si su perro se pierde, tiene su número de teléfono adentro, y la gente puede ayudarlo a encontrar a su mascota perdida llevándola a un veterinario.

Jonathan Nelson | Oct 8, 2020

When I applied to volunteer, I did it in person, and someone (can't remember her name) signed me off right away. I was out walking the dogs a few minutes later. I don't know if that helps or not.

Do you guys have a rottweiler puppies or german shepherd?

_281904 MBB | Oct 8, 2020
Its Me (Cheryl) | Oct 8, 2020

They have lots of larger breed dogs. Larger dogs are harder to find homes for. Older dogs need homes too. And often are already house trained. Just remember shelter dogs take 3-5 days to normalize after getting a home, 3 weeks to adjust to you and your routines, and 3 months or so to really be comfortable.

Can I adopt rabbits from here? Do they have them? If so how much for the adoption fee? Are they fixed?

C. R. | Oct 9, 2019

Call the shelter

Do they take in abandoned newborn kittens

Manda Ryan | Oct 9, 2019
renee williams | Oct 9, 2019

Any shelter will take but they usually will euthanize because they don't have the means to watch kittens. You would have a contact a non kill shelter. Fresno humane is one of a couple. Madera shelter might be able to give you Info on where you can take them. If you're sure the mom cat is not coming back, put it on face book under some pet groups. There are always some cat people willing to take care of kittens. I had a similar situation.

Lupe Reyes | Oct 9, 2019

I'm not sure. It's possible. But if you are a pet owner or someone who cares about their animal. I'd check it out before you do. Just to be safe that your animal will be taken care of properly. Just a suggestion.

How do you get a discount for dog license

jose luis Jose | Oct 9, 2019
Theresa Herring | Oct 9, 2019

If you live in the county of Madera (address will usually be 5 digits) you will license your pet with the Madera shelter. If you live in the city of Madera or Chowchilla you license with your police departments. All altered dogs (spayed/neutered) the license fees for county residents is $10 per year, unaltered dogs are $50 per year. If your dog is altered (spayed/neutered) and you are 65+ yrs old the license is $5 per year. No discounts on unaltered dogs. You can only license your dog for as long as the rabies vaccine is good for i.e. 1 year rabies - 1 year license, 3 year rabies- 1, 2, or 3 year license. Any further questions please contact the Madera Animal Shelter at 675-7891.
