Hi, I’m Jaba!
I’m a 4-year-old white and brown tabby with a heart as big as my purr—and trust me, my purr is loud! I’m a super sweet, affectionate guy who lives for pets, scritches, and all the love you’ve got to give. Got a free hand? I’ll be right there to claim it.

Sure, I’m not a kitten, but I’ve got all the charm, cuddles, and motor of one—with the added bonus of chill adult cat energy. No wild zoomies here, just calm companionship and loyal love.

If you’re looking for a cozy couch buddy who’s all about being close and adored, I’m your guy. There are also plenty of other amazing cats of all ages here at the shelter waiting to find their perfect match too—so come meet us!

Adoptions are first come, first served at Salt Lake County Animal Services. We’re open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM – 6 PM.

*ADOPTED*

Hey there, I’m Rusty—your future BEST FRIEND!
I’m 6 years young with the heart of a pup and the wisdom of a well-traveled adventurer. I like to say I’ve got that rustic charm—get it? Rusty? I’m here to add a little sparkle (and a lot of fun) to your life!

When you’re busy, I’m pretty good at entertaining myself (I’m hilarious, trust me). But everything’s way better when we’re doing it together—whether it’s chasing my favorite toys, going on a walk, or sharing snacks. I love treats, I know my basic commands, and I live to make my people happy.

I’m confident, affectionate, and always ready for our next big adventure. If you're looking for a loyal sidekick with energy, smarts, and a whole lot of love to give—I’m your guy!

I qualify for both the Pets for Patriots program and the Senior-to-Senior program.

Adoptions are first come, first served at Salt Lake County Animal Services. We’re open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM – 6 PM.

Meet Ramona!

This 8-year-old sugar faced sweetheart may be a senior by age, but she's truly a puppy at heart! Bursting with energy and curiosity, Ramona is always up for an adventure-whether it's a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or exploring a new trail. She absolutely loves toys and will happily entertain herself (and you!) with her playful antics. Ramona is very smart and already knows her basic commands, making her a breeze to spend time with-especially if there are treats involved, which she adores. She's confident, affectionate, and walks beautifully on a leash, always eager to check out the world by your side. Ramona gets along well with other dogs and would thrive in an active home where she can share her love, loyalty, and zest for life. After a fun-filled day, she's more than happy to cuddle up on a soft bed and enjoy some well-earned rest.

Adoptions are first come first serve at Salt Lake County Animal Services. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM - 6 PM.

Hi, I'm Bluey - but don't worry, I won't turn your life into a cartoon (unless you want me to, in which case... cue theme music). I'm a 6-year-old Australian Cattle Dog with the soul of a loyal sidekick and the smarts to match. I know my basic commands, love toys and treats, and I walk like a dream on a leash. I'm more of a wallflower than a party crasher - but once I warm up, I'll be your quiet shadow, always nearby and ready for some love (or snacks, let's be honest). I don't need constant attention, but I'll always be here, tail wagging, just happy to be your Bluey.

Adoptions are first come first serve at Salt Lake County Animal Services. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM - 6 PM.

A huge thank you to Nothing Bundt Cakes for surprising our team with the sweetest treats! 🎂 It’s little moments like this that mean so much. Knowing that members of our community are thinking of us and the work happening here at the shelter brings a sense of connection and support that we truly appreciate.

When local businesses take the time to show up, it reminds us that we’re all working toward the same goal—a better place for animals and the people who care for them. Thank you for the kindness and the smiles.

Hi there! I'm Jet - a 1-year-old boy mix with turbo-charged energy and a heart that's ready for takeoff. I'm basically a furry little airplane: fast, fun, and occasionally a bit loud when I get excited (what can I say, I run on enthusiasm and snacks). I know some basic commands, I walk well on a leash, and I'm smart as a whip - I just need a co-pilot who can help guide my zoomies into greatness. I'm affectionate, confident, and love toys, treats, and attention. If you're looking for a high-energy best friend who's ready to soar with you, buckle up - Jet's ready for his forever flight!

Adoptions are first come first serve at Salt Lake County Animal Services. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM - 6 PM.

Hi, I'm Lilly-a 7-year-old boxer with a heart full of love and a gentle soul to match. I may have a few years under my collar, but that just means I come with great manners and a calm, affectionate nature. I'm always happy to spend time with my people, whether it's going for a stroll, lounging by your side, or showing off how well I can sit (seriously, I've got that one down pat!). I'm super in tune with people-I understand gestures, follow a pointed finger, and love connecting with those around me. If you're looking for a loyal, sweet, and steady companion, I'd love to be your girl. Let's grow old together, one tail wag at a time.

Adoptions are first come first serve at Salt Lake County Animal Services. We are open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM - 6 PM.

🐐🚨 Sgt. Cantor responded to a call about an injured goat—but it turned out to be a sheep named Estrella! With quick thinking and teamwork, including help from Magna PD to access the property, Sgt. Cantor safely contained Estrella. She’s now with her owner on the way to the vet. Great work by our ACOs making a difference every day! 💙
