Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter - Watsonville

About

The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter provides 24-hour animal rescue and is Santa Cruz County’s only full service, open-admission animal shelter. SCCAS has two locations where people can find and recover lost pets and adopt new animal companions. These shelters are tangible evidence of Santa Cruz County’s commitment to animal welfare. They are supported by numerous volunteers and foster care families who provide thousands of hours of assistance to SCCAS staff. We rescue and assure temporary shelter, veterinary and humane care for approximately 5,000 stray, unwanted, abandoned, mistreated, neglected and injured animals every year.

Pets available

Adoption process

Except for those in foster care off-site, all our adoptable animals can be viewed during normal business hours. Visitors interested in spending time with specific animals are asked to fill out an adoption application and advise the client services staff as to which animals they want to meet.
