We ask that you fill out an application which we will
keep on file for up to one year. Filling out the application
doesn’t obligate you to adopt, nor does it guarantee
an adoption. We conduct a basic background check designed
to insure you have a positive per history. If you are
a renter, we check with your landlord to make sure you
may have pets. If you have any other dogs at home, they
need to be licensed. Our animal control officers conduct
fence checks for all dogs to be adopted by Vallejo residents.
Do you euthanize?
We do not euthanize at our facility.
Do you have
a low-cost spay/neuter program?
