If you are looking to adopt an animal, we have over 400 dogs and cats in our shelter waiting for forever homes at any given time! The majority of our animals come to us from local animal control agencies where they are rescued from being euthanized.

Valley Animal Center’s Clinic has an ongoing mission to ensure that all of the Central Valley’s dog and cat owners, regardless of income, are able to maintain a healthy and happy pet. We offer spay and neutering services, along with an ever-growing selection of other procedures.

The Dr. James W. Thornton Dog Park is a beautiful 1.5 acre park located in the Valley Animal Center complex. It features a 2,000 gallon canine wading pool with water jets, an agility course play area, and grassy land with trees divided into several spacious dog runs.
