Licensing events are hosted monthly at
the New Animal Care and Adoption
Center providing an essential service to
local pet owners. In the second quarter
alone, 360 dogs were licensed,
reflecting the community’s commitment
to responsible pet ownership. Licensing
dogs not only ensures compliance with
local regulations but also plays a
critical role in helping the shelter and
the City. Licensed and properly
microchipped dogs allow the
opportunity to return the pet to their
owners if they become lost, reducing
the burden on the shelter and allowing
staff to focus resources on other
animals in need. Additionally, to support
our residents mourning the loss of a
family pet, Animal Services will pick up
a licensed pet at no cost.
MICROCHIPPING
Animal Services successfully
microchipped 600 pets as part of
licensing events, return-to-owner efforts,
and license renewals. Microchipping a pet
ensures that pets can be easily reunited
with their families if they become lost and
significantly reduces the number of stray
animals entering the shelter.
Microchipping supports pet owners by
providing peace of mind, knowing their
pets have a reliable form of identification.
These efforts underscore the City’s
commitment to responsible pet ownership
and improving animal welfare within our
community.

Animal Services staff made a significant impact this
season by hosting four (4) adoption events at the Fall
Festival, Costco, Victor Valley Trunk or Treat, and
Halloween at the Farmers Market. These events
brought the community together to meet, interact
with, and fall in love with animals in need of homes.
Thanks to the dedication of the staff and volunteers, 173 animals were successfully adopted and united with
their forever families. Each event was filled with joy, hope, and the heartwarming sight of pets finding loving homes, showcasing the power of community outreach
in transforming lives—both human and animal alike.
