Turlock Police: Animal Services

To all the naysayers who are complaining about this shelter. Try walking in their shoes where on a daily basis, they deal with abandoned dogs and trying to adopt, foster them out, find a rescue to take these discarded dogs in. Reality is that people are cruel and discard their pets which is where shelters step in and unfortunately, they are understaffed and underpaid. Laws need to be enacted for all dogs to be spayed/neutered by 1 year unless they are a registered working dog, ie: SAR, Law Enforcement or Military. Laws need to be passed where only licensed and registered breeders are allowed to breed dogs and if the law is broken, severe penalties are imposed on lawbreakers. I have evaluated at shelters in Stanislaus and Merced County, having found Turlock Animal Services to be the most competent and humane of them all.

Very friendly staff. Make sure to have your pet spay or neutered. Your city license fee will be dramatically increased if not.

Officer Penny (I hope I've spelled it right) has been helping us out in our mobile home neighborhood. Lots of feral cats and one that I've tamed. They're all getting fixed and set free. As cute as kittens are, it's better not to have piles of feral kittens. TPD Animal Services as been professional, efficient and helpful for our neighborhood. Five stars, you betcha.

They care about the animals. They know the dogs likes and things that will be the perfect fit for a family they need. They screen the people to match up what type of dog that will fit in with the family.

Officer Walter was amazing from the moment she came to pick up a lost puppy. Officer Walter went above and beyond.

Expert staff you can get the right animal you want to adopt.

It was great, good service.

The best people around

The staff is friendly

Recently i received a phone call from Animal Services to notify me my pet had been found but sadly was deceased. The lady was very compassionate and understanding. I really appreciated her caring attitude and am grateful for their services. Thank-you

The officer was thorough in all details and repeated if neccessary.
Let me see my animal.
More than willing to help in any way.
Very grateful to their services.

Okay place. I did community service there and it was easy cleaning up.
