With a variety of cats and dogs available, we are certain our staff can help you to make the perfect match for your family. Every animal that you adopt from our animal center is spayed or neutered, microchipped, licensed with the first set of vaccines and a free health exam.
The CCSPCA is contracted with Fresno City to conduct animal control services and rabies control enforcement. The CCSPCA accepts stray dogs, cats, and other animals found within the City of Fresno limits, only.
We’re here to support you through the tough decisions you make throughout your animal’s life. We understand the difficult decision and emotional process that you may encounter to say “goodbye” to your loved one.
In the City of Fresno, all dogs over the age of 4 months must be licensed. A dog license is valid from the date of the rabies vaccine for a period of 12 months. You may obtain 3-year licenses in advance. For your convenience, you may license your dog by visiting our Adoption Center without an appointment.
The CCSPCA Education Department is the Animal Center’s direct educational outlet to the community, both on and off CCSPCA property. This department focuses on the importance of spay and neuter with an emphasis on the impact of pet overpopulation in the Central Valley.
Foster parents provide temporary care for our animals in their own homes until they are ready for adoption and to be placed in their permanent home. Some animals need as little as two weeks of care, while others may need care for several months.
The CCSPCA Adoption Center offers low cost microchipping every Wednesday from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM for only $15 at our Animal Center. Please watch for special events where we will also have low-cost microchip clinics. Microchipping is available daily through the CCSPCA Animal Hospital by appointment.

At the CCSPCA, we understand that people realize the importance of altering their animals. We also understand that many cannot afford the fees. The Snip N Chip program is for those people who want to prevent the cycle of unwanted animals, yet simply don’t have the means.
