​Animal Control 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.

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 on a space available basis.  The shelter maintains a waiting list for dogs needing to be surrendered. 

​Chico Animal Services is no longer accepting surrendered cats.  See our Surrendering Pets tab for more information on finding a home for your pet or surrendering your dog.   

Chico Animal Services does not accept healthy stray cats.  See our Stray/Feral Cats tab for more information on what to do if you see a stray cat.
