Pet Adoption Rules
California law requires that all adopted dogs and cats be spayed or neutered before leaving our Animal Shelter.
If you are considering adopting an animal from the Turlock Animal Shelter we do require your rental agreement if you rent or sublet your property.
We will not adopt to anyone under 18 years of age and adult children living with their parents must have written or verbal permission stating that they are aware that a new pet is going to reside at the address.
Turlock Residents must license any other dogs at the residence and be in compliance with animal ordinances.
The City of Turlock can refuse an adoption, and all applicants will be reviewed prior to placement.
If you adopt a pet that is not going home the same day and the pet remains in our care and is identified by the previous owner, it must be returned to them per California State law.
