My name is Ferdinand!

To adopt a pet, you must be 18 years of age and fill out an adoption questionnaire. Our adoption fees are: Dogs- $125, which includes the spay or neuter surgery, the first set of vaccines and heartworm prevention, a microchip, a Tehama County license and a heartworm test for dogs over 6 months of age. Cats- $70, which includes the spay or neuter surgery, the first set of vaccines, a dose of flea prevention, and a microchip. Animals that are not already altered will remain at the Animal Care Center until surgery, and adopters can pick up their new pet from the veterinary clinic after surgery.

The Tehama County Animal Care Center provides animal sheltering services for all of Tehama and Glenn Counties. We house and care for stray dogs, surrendered cats, and various other species. Adopt a new pet here! The Tehama County Animal Care Center is owned by Tehama County and operated by the Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Services. Our mission is to practice and promote compassionate care of all animals, both in our care and in the community we serve. We strive to reunite lost animals with their owners and find forever homes for animals whose owners cannot be located. We work closely with several rescues to transfer some of our animals to other locations so they can find homes in other areas. We are extremely proud of our high rate live release rate and incredibly grateful to the organizations and volunteers who make it possible!
