Norco Animal Shelter: Providing a Safe Haven for Animals in Need
Welcome to Norco Animal Shelter, a haven for animals in need of love, care, and a second chance at life. Located in the beautiful city of Norco, California, our shelter has been serving the community for over a decade, providing a safe and nurturing environment for abandoned, abused, and neglected animals.
The Mission of Norco Animal Shelter
At Norco Animal Shelter, our mission is simple – to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need. We strive to provide a temporary home where animals can heal both physically and emotionally, while also offering exceptional veterinary care, training, and socialization opportunities.
Our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to ensure that every animal that comes through our doors receives the love and attention they deserve. We believe that every animal deserves a chance at a happy and fulfilling life, and we are committed to finding them their perfect forever homes.
Adoption Process
Adopting a pet from Norco Animal Shelter is a simple and rewarding process. Before adoption, all animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and thoroughly examined by our veterinary team. We also ensure that they are up to date on vaccinations and receive any necessary medical treatments.
When you visit our shelter, our knowledgeable staff will guide you through the adoption process, helping you find the perfect pet that matches your lifestyle and preferences. We encourage potential adopters to spend time with the animals, getting to know their personalities and ensuring a good fit.
Once you have chosen your furry companion, you will be required to fill out an adoption application and pay a nominal fee to cover the cost of care provided to the animal. We believe this helps to ensure that adopters are committed to providing a loving and responsible home for their new pet.
Services Offered
In addition to our adoption program, Norco Animal Shelter offers a range of services to support both pets and their owners in our community. These services include:
1. Spay/Neuter Clinic
We operate a low-cost spay/neuter clinic aimed at reducing pet overpopulation in the area. Our skilled veterinarians perform the surgeries with the utmost care, ensuring the safety and well-being of each animal.
2. Vaccinations and Microchipping
We offer affordable vaccinations and microchipping services to help protect pets from preventable diseases and provide a means of identification if they become lost.
3. Training and Behavior Programs
We believe that every pet deserves the opportunity to learn and develop good behavior. That’s why we offer various training programs designed to address common behavioral issues and strengthen the bond between pets and their owners.
4. Volunteer and Foster Programs
We rely heavily on the support of volunteers and foster parents to help us provide the best care for our animals. Whether you have a few hours to spare or are interested in fostering an animal in need, we welcome your help and support.
