Coronado Animal Services is currently located inside the Coronado Police Department at 700 Orange Avenue.  Come into our Police Department lobby for animal service assistance between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. - 7 days a week.  Animal Services is closed on holidays.  You can always contact us during busniness hours at (619) 522-7371 and after hours through the Coronado Police Department Communications Center at (619) 522-7350.  If the Police Department lobby door is locked, push the intercom button located on the wall to the right of the Police Department front doors for assistance.

 

Coronado Animal Services provides stray and nuisance animal pick-up, acceptance of lost and relinquished animals, assistance for injured and sick stray animals, control of biting, vicious or threatening animals, barking dog complaints, animal cruelty, fighting animals, animals in hot cars, lost and found assistance and dog licensing.

 

If you have lost a pet, contact the Coronado Animal Care Facility to look for your pet .  Animals wearing an ID or license will often lose the tags. If the Coronado Animal Care Facility does not have your pet, you can fill out a lost or found report or leave a flyer. This is a very important step that should not be missed. We encourage all owners to check the shelter at least every three days while their pet is missing.  Bring a leash with you and any proof of ownership you may have.

 

 

The Coronado Animal Care Facility encourages owners to spay and neuter their pets. There is a serious pet overpopulation problem occurring right now in San Diego County causing many unwanted pets to be euthanized (put to sleep) each year. By spaying or neutering your pet before it has offspring you can be a part of the solution to this problem. Call your veterinarian today or call us for a referral to a local veterinarian participating in a low-cost program.

 

Spaying or neutering is good for your pet. Altering your animal reduces the incidence of a number of health problems that can be difficult or expensive to treat and lets him/her live a longer, healthier life.  In addition, spaying or neutering your pet makes him/her a better, more affectionate companion. Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems (such as running away, displaying nervous behavior, or incessant crying) than those pets who have been spayed or neutered.  Check with your local veternarian for spay and neutering services.

 

 

Planning is in progress for an approximately 3,400 square foot new Animal Care Facility to be built near the corner of 1st Street and A Avenue.  Constuction is expected to begin in Summer of 2008 with completion in early Spring of 2010.  A special thank you to PAWS of Coronado for attending the many facility planning meetings and their generous financial contributions toward the new facility.  The monies donated will be used to upgrade many features of the facility for the comfort and care of all animals during their stay. Members of PAWS will also continue in their role of supporting our Animal Care Facility staff and placing animals into homes once we make the move to the new facility.
