Microchipping
Daily, Call to Make an Appointment

Anyone can microchip their pets at Upland Animal Shelter for only $30 per pet.  A microchip provides permanent identification for your pet that won't fall off or become too worn to read.  If your pet is lost and found as a stray, shelters, rescues, and veterinarians will scan your pet for a microchip and contact you.

Trap, Neuter & Return

You can help improve lives and prevent pet overpopulation by helping us spay and neuter un-owned, community (feral) cats living near your home or business through our TNR Program.

This service is FREE to Upland residents and businesses.

Returns to Owners
11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

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.

Concerned About Bird Flu & Domestic Pets?

Some excerpts from the California Department of Public Health regarding bird flu - see full information here:

The current risk to the public remains low.

Dogs, cats, and other pets may become infected with bird flu from hunting, eating, or coming into contact with wild birds or poultry or their environments.

Pets or other animals can also contract​ bird flu from drinking raw milk or eating other raw pet food or dairy products.

Pets, other animals, chickens and other birds may become infected from something in their environment, such as droppings from infected wild birds and rodents or bird flu virus on tainted items such as clothing.

Cats seem to be more likely to get bird flu viruses. Cats from multiple states have become very ill and died from bird flu.

Signs of infection in cats and dogs may include: 

• Neurologic signs, like tremors, seizures, incoordination, or blindness
• Difficulty breathing
• Fever
• Lethargy
• Low appetite
• Reddened or inflamed eyes
• Discharge from the eyes and nose
  

Contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any signs of bird flu in your pets or other animals. Call the California Department of Food and Agriculture Animal Health Branch's sick bird hotline at 866-922-BIRD (2473) if you have sick birds.
