Now's the Time to Adopt!

With our low-cost adoption fees, 50% off adult dog adoption fees and Foster-to-Adopt Program with 50% off adoption fees, now's a great time to find a lifelong friend and help an animal who is waiting for a loving home. Every animal who leaves the shelter frees up a space and the potential for Friends to transfer in other at-risk animals in desperate need of a safe place until they find their own homes.

Interested in meeting a specific animal? Call (909) 931-4185, Option #4,
from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to make an appointment.
Please note, we do not schedule appointments via e-mail.

Returns to Owners

Pet Relinquishment
Send an E-Mail

If you need to relinquish a pet, we always recommend checking with family, friends, neighbors and coworkers to see if someone is able to help.  Because we are currently operating above capacity for medium/large dogs, we are not accepting owner surrendered dogs over 15 pounds due to space constraints.  We suggest reaching out to all different types of animal rescues to see if they have space, especially breed specific rescues.  Finally, we suggest listing your pet on the Adoptapet website using their "rehome" feature.  

See Current COVID-19 Procedures

Is Your Pet Lost?

• Visit the shelter (and all other local animal shelters surrounding the area where your pet went missing) immediately. Do not rely on anybody else to "spot" your pet in a busy shelter environment. Look for yourself and check daily.
• Check AdoptAPet.com daily.
• Post your own “Lost” flyer with a photograph of your pet near your house.
• Post a photo and spread the word via the internet and social media so others know to look for your missing pet.

Did You Find a Stray?

If you have found a stray animal in Upland, thank you for taking the time to help. Reuniting lost pets with their families is always our top priority.

Note: If you found a stray in another community, please contact the animal shelter that services the area where you found the animal for instructions. Taking this step gives the pet’s family the greatest possible chance of being reunited with their beloved companion quickly and safely.

Step 1: Look for the Owner

Before bringing the animal to the shelter, please check the surrounding area to see if you can locate the owner. Knock on nearby doors, ask neighbors, look for “lost pet” signs, and post photos of the lost animal on social media such as Nextdoor. Many pets are found close to home, and a quick search or sharing photos may lead to a fast reunion. 

Step 2: Bring the Animal to the Shelter (If You’re Able)

If you are unable to locate the owner and can safely handle the animal, please bring them to the Upland Animal Shelter during business hours:

Daily: 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM

When bringing in a found animal, you must:

• Present a valid photo ID

• Provide the exact location where the animal was found (street address or nearest cross streets)

This information is essential and greatly increases the chances of reuniting the pet with their family.

After-Hours or If You Cannot Safely Handle the Animal

If you find an animal outside of business hours or are unable to safely transport the animal yourself, please call:

909-931-4185, Option 2

An Animal Control Officer or Police Officer will be dispatched to your location to assist you.

Important Reminder

Never tie an animal up or leave an animal in a crate, box, or container anywhere unattended, including outside of the animal shelter.  Doing so is considered animal abandonment and is illegal.

Your compassion and cooperation make a difference. Thank you for helping us bring pets back home where they belong.
