Antioch Animal Services

Adoption Policy

To reduce waiting times, services at the Antioch Animal Shelter are offered on an appointment basis. This includes pet adoptions.

If you have questions about a pet you see online, and/or you want to schedule a Meet & Greet with one of our adoptable pets, please contact us at 925-779-6989 to make an appointment.

If you are adopting a dog and have other dogs in the household, we recommend you bring them with you to your appointment, to ensure compatibility.

All adopters must present Government Issued Identification at time of adoption.

Everyone is welcome to adopt a pet from Antioch Animal Services. You do NOT have to be a resident of Antioch. However, if you are an Antioch resident, and you adopt a dog, you are required to purchase a 1-year dog license for $25.00, at the time of adoption.
