City of Corona Animal Shelter

02/08/2024

Do you remember our plea we put out over 3 weeks ago? Yupp, it’s been that long and this family is STILL here. Sadly, 3 more pups have passed since that time. We asked for help, no help came. We’re hoping this time is different. Mama and her remaining 9 pups are struggling. There’s not enough space in our kennels for her and the babies to safely move around nor for mama to have appropriate breaks from nursing. This means that shelter staff has to continually rotate the pups in and out of mama’s kennel which is a huge strain on our resources as we have over 100 other animals to care for. Mama came to us very apprehensive, but is slowly starting to come around. She needs a nice quiet calm space to decompress but still be able to provide the pups what they need. The babies are on the move and the weaning process has begun, but we have a ways to go before they can be completely separated. Are you a Corona resident and dog savvy? Come talk to us about fostering. We are looking for a foster for the entire family, NOT individual puppies. We appreciate interest in adoption, but at this time what we need is a foster or a dog rescue!

It’s back! August is Clear the Shelter Month and Corona Animal Shelter will be having FEE FREE adoptions all month long. We have so many wonderful animals searching for their forever home. Come visit us Monday- Saturday 10am-5pm to find your new family member and save a shelter pet. Spay/Neuter, Microchip, and initial vaccines are included. Let’s do this together and clear our shelter!

We are re-sharing because we are super bummed that neither of these people and dog friendly boys have been adopted. What’s going on that no one wants to add some large dog love to their life?!

25/07/2024

7/30 UPDATE: Both boys ADOPTED! ❤️

Yesterday staff conducted what we call “dog to dogs.” Dog to dogs are essentially where we find out if a dog is social and friendly with other dogs. As usual, Dal (A150015) passed with flying colors. In fact, Dal does so well with other dogs that he is used as our “tester” dog. In this video Dal is featured with Chip (A150173) who is another long time husky shelter resident. Dal has been with since Feb. 1st and we literally cannot explain why!! He is dog friendly, great with people and an all around certified goober. Dal is currently our longest shelter resident and the only un-adopted long timer from our initial list posted 06/16. His adoption fee is completely waived! Let’s rally together and find Dal the amazing home he deserves. If you can’t adopt, share!
PS. Chip also passed with flying colors and is adoptable too. His neuter fee is sponsored. 🐾

Pets Are Worth Saving - PAWS Is sponsoring fees for many of our large dogs. It’s true that not a single one has been adopted. We’ve begged and pleaded for help but help has not come. We are FULL. Please adopt!

If you have ever worked animal services, then you can relate to our feelings of apprehension when we see a box sitting in front of the shelter… well, that’s how this Monday started. Good news is, this box contained some adorable kittens! The bad news.. the finder left them unattended and without their mother. The kittens could have easily escaped which would have ended badly since these kittens are too young to be without their mom! These kittens will need an immediate rescue or foster due to their age. If you’re able to help, come visit us today at 1330 Magnolia Ave. 10am-5pm. Reminder to never ever leave an animal unattended in front of the shelter, not only is it illegal, it’s inhumane as you do not know when/if someone will find them. Our shelter is STILL OVERFLOWING with animals. Don’t forget us, these cuties and more need you.

Hey Corona and friends. We want to set the record straight, while it is true we are have more dogs than we do dog kennels, it is not true we are sending found dogs in our city to other shelters. We continue to encourage all pet finders to try to locate an owner first and utilize release to the shelter as a last resort due to our capacity concerns, but again this does not mean we are turning in need animals away. We strive to provide the best care possible and find homes for all our animals. We forgot to post this, but we still have awesome dog trainers from come in every 1st & 3rd Wednesday to try and help us with our behavior challenged dogs. Check out Brian with adoptable dog, Jordan. Jordan is very smart and sweet! If you needed any more reasons as to why to adopt from us, here’s a few: We’ve got discounted adoptions, training resources, and goodies to go home with all our adopted pets 🐾

19/07/2024

Well folks, it was another sad turnout for adoptions today. One small dog was lucky enough to be adopted, but that’s it. The faces above are just a small handful of available dogs that are still desperately searching for a family. has graciously offered to sponsor spay/neuter fees for some of our large dogs to help aide in their adoption. Please visit us to find your match and help save a life.

18/07/2024

ZERO dog adoptions today 😔

SOS!! We tried to get ahead of this, but our pleas for help went unanswered. Today our number of dogs housed at the shelter reached 96. 96 dogs to 64 kennels. It’s hard to swallow this harsh reality. Over half our shelter dogs have been with us over a month, and many of them even over 6 months. Please do not dismiss this plea for help. Please consider adopting to help a deserving shelter dog find safety and home. They need you now! To view our most urgent at risk animals, please view our rescue/foster page. Also check out our previous posts for urgent and long time residents.

There is still time to help save a life by adopting a shelter pet for a discounted adoption fee of just $25 through Sat. July 13th. Vaccines, microchip, and spay/neuter included. As you can see our numbers are pushing an upsetting critical number which places long term stays and stressed animals at risk due to shelter overcrowding. We have put out pleas for our most urgent animals- Mowgli, Bronx, and Dal are our longest residents. Dogs like Cole and our nursing mama pit and puppies are still here and it’s heartbreaking. Check us out online or in person to view all available pets and those in need of foster and/or rescue.

08/07/2024

We are FULL. Cats, dogs, puppies, oh my!
While we are grateful this mama didn’t have to give birth out on the street, the shelter now has 13 more lives to care for and it literally happened over night. This is the face of a scared, stressed mama. We are overflowing with animals and this mama just gave birth to 14 puppies (1 of which has passed) leaving her with 13 mouths to feed in an environment not meant for a nursing mom and her babies. We need your help Corona and friends. We need the help of everyone to adopt, rescue, and foster. This family in particular is either looking for a dog rescue or a Corona based foster so they can comfortably grow and develop without the stress and space constraints of the shelter. If you didn’t know, we have a dedicated foster/rescue page to identify those most in need. Visit is at coronaca.gov/animals to view this family and other urgent animals in need by clicking on rescue/foster.

You are looking at today’s end of day current kennel count. We really really need adopters. Adoptions this week are just $25. Come see us!

01/07/2024

Come visit the Corona Animal Shelter this week to adopt a new furry family member for a discounted adoption fee of just $25 10am – 5pm July 1st- July 6th (closed July 4th). Each year, thousands of animals go missing during this time of year, which means things tend to get a little crowded around here. Help us help them by opting to adopt and make room for a safe space for lost pets. As a reminder, all year long the Corona Animal Shelter offers city residents microchips for cats & dogs for $25. No appointment necessary.

Meet this handsome 4 yr old pittie named Cole. Cole is a relatively “new guy” here at the shelter, but the reason we’re featuring him today is because Cole is struggling very hard to adapt to shelter life. Better put, he isn’t adapting at all. Cole is losing weight, pacing, and chewing kennel walls. Some dogs can be here months without feeling as stressed as Cole is, and others are just like him where our walls instantly feel like a heavy weight. Cole needs a family to lift that weight off his shoulders. We are concerned that with the 4th of July around the corner, poor Cole is only going to deteriorate faster with all the loud noises. He is such a sweet boy out of his kennel and knows basic commands. He is toy and treat motivated. He’d make a wonderful companion given the opportunity. Come meet Cole and free him from his anxiety by adopting. Shelter is open today 10am-5pm.

Our big dogs are really not feeling the love this week. Space is once again getting tight and only one lucky large dog has been adopted so far this week. There have been more adoption cancellations and returns than dogs leaving. Please consider adopting a large dog. While we try to keep them cool utilizing items such as kitty pools that urgent long timer Bronx here (his adoption fee is waived!) is enjoying, they’d be much more happy inside enjoying some a/c and Netflix with you!

26/06/2024

As we celebrate the 4th of July, let’s not forget that it’s stressful for many of our fur friends. You see the reminders every year, but shelters across the US still see hundreds of animals lost and impounded. Don’t let your animal be one of them! Here are some safety tips to keep your pet safe.

26/06/2024

Sadly, all of our top 3 long timers are once again in urgent need. Bronx was returned, Mowgli’s adoption cancelled, and no one has even asked to see Dal! At no fault of their own, these dogs just can’t catch a break. Can you open your heart and home to a deserving shelter pet? Please come visit us Mon-Sat 10am-5pm. All adoption fees are waived for these boys! Check out our previous posts for videos of these boys in action 🐶

17/06/2024

Mowgli and Dal still need you! As kennels slowly fill back up, our long timers need you more than ever. Don’t wait, come on down tomorrow to meet these two and many others when we open again at 10am. Till then, Happy Father’s Day!

In case you missed our story yesterday, here are a couple more details about this mama and her babies who are in need of rescue. Mama came in 6/3 as a stray. It was obvious she was very very pregnant and not very well taken care of as evidenced by an untreated ear hematoma. Just a few days later mama gave birth to 8 babies. She has been posted to our rescue page and only 1 rescue has stepped up so far. They are able to take mama and her babies, but only if they have a place for her to go. If you can foster please head on over to ItsthePits.rescuegroups.org to fill out a foster application. This family is urgent!! We sadly have to report that one baby has passed away. The shelter is no place for a nursing mama and her pups.
If you cannot foster for the rescue, we will consider a local Corona resident foster for the shelter, however this would mean the babies would have to come back to the shelter once old enough. We would like for the pups to never see the likes of these walls again, but the most important thing right now is to get them out of here!
Feel free to call, visit, or email us for more information.

It’s a story we’ve heard time and time again. A “found” dog whose microchip revealed that the owner was the one who abandoned him, no second thoughts. That’s how Kato and his lady friend (who’s been adopted) came into our care. Here we are a few months later.. Shelter staff discovered Kato has a growing mass. After a vet exam we now know that the mass is likely cancerous and Kato needs it removed ASAP to prevent the spread. The thing is, recovery at the shelter is near impossible after a surgery like this. Pets Are Worth Saving - PAWS has graciously offered to cover the cost of his surgery BUT we need either a foster or better yet, an adopter for Kato to heal and recover. If you are able to foster or are interested in adopting, please come see us this weekend! Kato is dog friendly and so sweet, he doesn’t deserve this to be the end of his story.

It’s time for a Spotlight Saturday. Brutus here to tell you not to forget about all the animals at Corona that still need you!
Brutus included. Now supposedly Brutus was found across the street in the Lowe’s parking lot. His skin was horrendous- cracked, crusted, and bleeding. Of course we took Brutus to the vet and started him on meds. Our vet says his hair may never grow back, and we worry Brutus’ appearance may scare adopters away. His body may tell his story forever, but his personality doesn’t let show how much neglect Brutus has endured. He’s a fun loving snort sounding little guy who gets along with people and other dogs. Brutus has already been with us a month and has had 0 interest. Let’s show Brutus there is a family out there who will love him the way his former owner (we sure won’t call them family) never did.
