The Santa Monica Animal Shelter is more than just a temporary house for unwanted animals! The shelter provides a home for lost or abandoned animals, ensures that all animals in its care are receiving appropriate veterinary care, and works to support privately-owned animals with community education.

The shelter takes in dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, small reptiles, and other exotic pets.

Veterinary care for animals in the shelter includes ensuring all animals are spayed or neutered, have appropriate vaccinations, and are dewormed, and free of external parasites.

As part of the Santa Monica Police Department, the shelter and its officers also provide other important services for the city, including:

Investigation of complaints regarding animals

Conducting humane investigations when animal cruelty is suspected

Monitoring city dog parks to ensure rules and regulations are observed
