STATS & HIGHLIGHTS CONTINUED
Administrative Hearings
The Animal Services Division is committed to a fair and open process. When an animal is seized due to being potentially vicious or dangerous, the Animal Services Division provides the animal owner with an opportunity to express their
position to reclaim their pet. The hearing is conducted before an independent administrative hearing officer where animal containment measures are placed to ensure public safety and to reunite the pet with its owner.
In Q1 of FY 25/26, Potentially Vicious/Dangerous Animal hearings were held for eight (8) dogs to assess potential public safety risks. Of these, six (6) dogs were found to be either potentially dangerous or vicious.

ANIMAL LICENSING& PROGRAMS
FY 25/26 LICENSES AND RENEWALS
Monthly licensing events at the new Animal Care and
Adoption Center continue to support responsible pet
ownership in the community. In Q1, 206 dogs were
licensed and 281 renewals were issued.
Licensing benefits:
Helps reunite lost pets with their owners.
Eases shelter capacity by reducing intake.
Free pick-up of deceased licensed pets to assist
grieving pet owners.
MICROCHIPPING
Microchipping plays a key role in reducing
shelter intake and is a simple but effective tool
that supports long-term positive outcomes for
both pets and their owners.
In Q1 of FY 25/26, Animal Services microchipped
174 pets through licensing events, return-to-
owner efforts, and licensing renewals.
This quarter, the Animal Care and Adoption Center continued to experience steady activity, with 392 animals impounded and 86 adoptions completed between July - September. The Center also completed numerous spay and neuter surgeries as part of its continued effort to reduce pet overpopulation and support responsible pet ownership.
VICTORVILLEANIMAL CARE ANDADOPTIONCENTER STATS
As part of our ongoing efforts to promote responsible pet ownership and reduce pet overpopulation, a total of 102 spay/neuter surgeries were performed this quarter.
These efforts, combined with community outreach, adoptions, microchipping, and licensing events, continue to strengthen our commitment to animal welfare and public safety.
Animal Care and Adoption Success Stories
Meeko, formerly known as Chance, captured
hearts far beyond Victorville—thanks to the
power of social media. After just 10 days at the
Animal Care and Adoption Center, Meeko was
adopted by a loving family all the way from
Bishop, CA! His new family saw his handsome
face online and immediately reached out, eager
to bring him home. Today, Meeko is thriving, and
his adopters are completely head over heels for
him. We're so proud to see another one of our
animals find the happy ending they deserve.
M E E K O
Animal Services, in coordination with the Victorville Police Department, recently led an enforcement operation related to an illegal rooster fighting case, resulting in the seizure of 512 poultry. This was a major effort that required an all-hands-on-deck response. Fines and expenses were assessed to the property owner.
We are extremely proud of our staff for their dedication, professionalism, and teamwork throughout this operation. From field response to animal care, every team member played a critical role. We extend our thanks to all who supported this case and remain committed to upholding animal welfare in our community.
