City of Chico Animal Shelter
Our Mission
The City of Chico Animal Shelter is owned by the City of Chico and operated by the City of Chico Police Department under Animal Services. The city resumed operations of the shelter in February of 2012. Â
Animal Services is responsible for enforcing all City animal related ordinances and state laws, including picking up dogs running at large and quarantining animals for Rabies observation.Â
The Chico Animal Shelter houses and cares for all stray dogs found within Chico city limits. These animals may have been picked up by Chico Animal Control, or brought in by a concerned citizen. The Chico Animal Shelter also takes unwanted dogs from owners residing within Chico city limits. The shelter maintains a waiting list for dogs needing to be surrendered. Chico Animal Services is no longer accepting surrendered cats. Owners wishing to surrender their cats are referred to the Butte Humane Society.
