Antioch Animal Services

Antioch Animal Services Antioch Animal Services is dedicated to promoting animal welfare and public awareness. The City of Antioch operates a full service Animal Shelter.

Antioch Animal Services is a bureau of the Antioch Police Department and is responsible for public safety, enforcing local and state laws, as well as caring for the animals in our shelter. Antioch Animal Services is unique in that we only serve Antioch residents and do so 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The cities surrounding Antioch rely on Contra Costa County Animal Services for their animal

related needs. We recognize the responsibility this bureau has to fairly and wisely exercise good judgment when trying to accomplish our mission. We acknowledge that we are held to a higher standard; therefore, our personal and professional lives must be exemplary. We provide care for the lost, homeless and unwanted animals found or surrendered within the City of Antioch. We work closely with local animal welfare organizations to increase the number of animals that are placed into loving homes.

For those who understand the sensitive nature of German Shepherds and mixes of, they usually are the breed that "breakdown" in a shelter; barking, pacing, whining, anxious. Most dogs further deteriorate when adopted and returned to the shelter, but not Irwin. Irwin has been in our care since July. ๐Ÿซจ He was adopted and returned. He is the most resilient boy. When the lights get switched on in the morning and all the other dogs are on their feet barking "Pick me! Pick me!", Irwin can be seen leaning with his back to the kennel door, that golden fur poking through the bars, and we are greeted with a quiet throw back of his head and a meeting of eyes with a nod as if to say "Wassup!". ๐Ÿ˜Ž

He is such a handsome boy. โœ”๏ธ He's goofy.โœ”๏ธ He's smart. โœ”๏ธ He's an easy go to for our volunteers to walk. โœ”๏ธ He hasn't met any dogs he likes, but doesn't make a fuss as long as other dogs stay in their lane.โŒ๏ธ

Why was he returned, you ask? His adopter wanted a guard dog.....did you read the above? Not guard dog material. ๐Ÿ™„

Come meet this boy today! ๐Ÿ˜

The first two of Elara's puppies are available! Two little girls that have been lovingly raised in a foster home with other dogs and kids. DNA in comments.

The cute blonde is Eris (9 weeks old) & her brunette sister, that is just as much fun, is the lovely Europa. ๐Ÿ˜

Adoptions are first come, first served.

As is our policy we do not adopt puppies in pairs. These girls will do great in separate homes with the chance to have their own individual personalities and integrate with other family members - human & animal.

โœจ๏ธ We open at 10am tomorrow. โœจ๏ธ

This little lady came in looking worse for wear and with some better nutrition, some skin meds and eye meds she already turned a corner over the course of her stray hold.....

She still has a long way to go, but now that her hold has ended EBARR - East Bay Animal Rescue & Refuge are going to pick up where we left off on her journey to full health and eventually adoption. ๐Ÿ™

Thank you to our rescue partners who step up to help these animals in need.

As Jupiter, surrounded by her morning toy dissection, snores in a rare moment of peace, I can't help but wonder, "Where has this dog been for approximately 6 years?" ๐Ÿ˜”

Someone not only kept her alive, but she was in relatively good condition when she was brought in as a stray. The marks on her face are from here, self inflicted from pressing on the kennel walls / doors in frustration. The sadness in her eyes is because she knew a better life away from strange dogs, whines, barks and howls through the night. Her affiliation for toys and not inhaling all the remnants is from experience. Someone cared in her past. Someone gave her a name and we don't know it.

We know she's depressed, like many of the dogs who are here and clearly have been loved. We don't know if things will get better for her or if an adopter will walk through our doors tomorrow, but in the interim our staff & volunteers will do what they do best and care for dogs like Jupiter, always hoping for the best. ๐Ÿ™

โœจ๏ธ Adoption fees are waived! โœจ๏ธ

All adoptable pets are spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. We provide the food they have been eating, toys, tips & coupons to go. Antioch residents will have to purchase a dog license.

To our citizens who are feeling the dip in services, we apologize, to those interested in joining our team and helping in your community, read on.....

Fun facts about our Antioch Animal Control Officers;

1) They are Civilian units i.e. not armed, and although under the umbrella of Antioch Police Department they are not sworn officers.

2) In a fast growing City the number of ACO positions has remained at 3 since early 2000s and currently all three positions are needing filled.

3) Our ACOs respond to domestic animal calls, deceased animal pick ups, sick/injured wildlife, animal welfare checks, bites, barking complaints and assist with the police department or other agencies that need animal control assistance e.g. SWAT, CCCSO evictions, CFS cross reports, Code Enforcement and more.

5) Due to limited staffing in our shelter our ACOs also assist with shelter duties, front counter duties and community events.

6) Our ACOs are on call and assist with emergency calls for service after hours and on holidays.

Being an ACO is not an easy job. You have to thrive in chaos, be quick on your feet, be willing to get on that roller coaster ride again and again. You need to know there will be days you are wiped out physically and more often mentally.

Think you got what it takes to be a part of our team? Apply today!

Two gorgeous girls, Bambi and Kiara are with our volunteers at Petco today, from 12pm to 4pm.

โœจ๏ธ Both of these ladies would prefer to be the one & only girl in charge in their new homes.โœจ๏ธ

Bambi is a merle colored young French Bulldog with all the snorts and piggy love that any little Frenchie is willing to give, but she's also got that "bully" in her and doesn't share her people and space well with other dogs.

Kiara is such a well behaved girl, easy to handle, knows basics, just a pleasure. She is very attentive to all people and curious about other dogs, but not a fan of high energy dogs.

Come by and say "hi" ๐Ÿ‘‹ to our volunteers and of course our adoptable pets.

The shelter is open today until 5pm.
