Valley Animal Center
A community supported no-kill shelter and adoption center for dogs and cats, low-cost spay, neuter and vaccination clinic, and a membership-based dog park!
......................................................................
The Valley Animal Center is dedicated to controlling pet overpopulation through education, spaying and neutering, and adoptions, not euthanasia. We believe that animals, as living creatures, deserve to be protected, respected, and given every consideration morally and ethically. Our mission is to assist with and provided for the health and welfare of the animals that have been abused, mistreated, abandoned, and injured, to promote the bond between animals and people, and to instill an appreciation and respect for all living creatures with whom we share this earth.
Valley Animal Center is the largest no-kill dog and cat adoption center in the Central Valley, along with a low-cost clinic, membership based dog park and humane education center.

Monster is approximately 6 months old, so still very much a puppy. He was just featured on @centralvalleytoday. Unlike his name, he is a little cutie pie who loves being around people and receiving affection. He's great with other dogs, loves treats, and LOVES squeaky toys. He does get very lonely, so a home where someone can be around him frequently is ideal, or a home where he will have dog siblings to play with! Monster was originally found abandoned and tied to a trash can before he was rescued. He's been with us for only a few weeks but is super playful and curious about everything. If you'd like to adopt him, fill out our online adoption application form (link in bio) and an animal care associate will follow up with you shortly. Or, you can come meet Monster in person! Our dog adoption center is open seven days a week from 10 AM - 4:30 PM.

Eeyore (13875): Eeyore is a very sweet boy but is VERY shy and would need some time to come out of his shell. He was adopted from us back in 2013 but unfortunately his owner could no longer care for him so he was returned to VAC. He really enjoys going on walks even though he is a senior dog. He is a gentle giant and also loves the attention from anyone once he's comfortable. If you're interested in Eeyore, submit your online application (link in bio) or come meet him in person at our Dog Adoption Center! We're open daily from 10 AM - 4:30 PM.⠀⠀

It's senior cat month! Arya (23338): Meet Arya, a senior cat who was surrendered to us back in July of 2020. She has been really shy and stays mostly to herself but has since slowly opened up to staff and volunteers she sees frequently. Arya has been snuggling up with another cat, Marble Fudge. Both of them are shy cats who feel safe with one another! If you approach Arya slowly, she will let you pet her and she loves to be held. She just takes a while to warm up to you, so please be patient with her. The wait will be worth it! If you're looking for a calm cat who also enjoys cuddles, come meet Arya and see if you'd like to take her home! Our cat adoption center is open for walk-ins seven days a week from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

(Penny 24774): Did you catch Penny on @centralvalleytoday? Penny is a sweet, lovable Labrador/Australian Cattledog mix who loves to play once you get her out and about. She was rescued in Kerman and was originally found roaming the streets by local animal control agencies. Penny is approximately 3 years old and treat motivated. She can be dog selective so we would definitely need to do a meet and greet if a family currently has dogs. When Penny is inside, she is usually calm and perks up to run once she is taken outdoors. She does great on a leash with a slight tendency to pull. We are looking for a family who will take her on walks and shower her with love! If you're interested in Penny, submit your online application (link in bio) or come meet her in person at our Dog Adoption Center! We're open daily from 10 AM - 4:30 PM.
