If you are interested in adopting a pet from the shelter that is located at a foster home, please fill out the form below. Foster pets are not at the shelter, so you must request a meeting ahead of time. Form responses are checked weekly.

Foster Pet Meeting Request

*Once you find an animal you like, and if the animal is available for adoption and located at the San Bernardino City Animal Control, you can come in during our walk-in hours of 11:00am-4:00pm, Tuesday-Saturday. If the animal is not available call in for more information at (909) 384-1304 to be placed on an interested party list. Maximum of 3 interested parties per animal. 

Please note, the last adoption meet and greet must be concluded by 4:30pm to be able to complete the adoption process. The shelter begins closing for the day from 4:30 to 5:00pm.
