🚨 KENNELS ARE FULL – WE NEED COMMUNITY HELP 🚨

We know you’ve seen us post this before… and we truly wish we didn’t have to say it again. Unfortunately, this is the reality of the shelter world right now. Too many in--- not enough out.

Animals continue to come in, and many are not being redeemed or adopted. Length of stay is increasing, and we are operating well beyond the “Capacity for Care” model.

At this time, Solano County Animal Care has no available kennel space.

We are urgently asking for community support to help keep found dogs out of the shelter whenever it is safe and appropriate to do so.

As a reminder; at this time we are only taking in sick/injured cats/ kittens.

🐶 Found a pet?
If you are able to temporarily house the animal, please consider doing so while actively searching for the owner. Keeping one dog out of the shelter right now makes a tremendous difference.

📞 707-784-1356
📩 [email protected]

📱 Please post found pets on: • Nextdoor
• Ring Neighbors
• Local Facebook lost & found groups

🐾 Missing a pet?
Please come down to the shelter in person to check for your pet. Do not let concerns about fees stop you—our goal is to reunite pets with their families.

Every share. Every adoption. Every reunion. It all matters.

Thank you for continuing to support your local shelter during an incredibly difficult time. 💜🐕

On one of the busiest days of the year for Animal Care, we are ready to assist our community! There is an annual 4th of July microchip scanning and lookup team! Offered July 4th, any lost animal can be scanned for a microchip and/or license/rabies tag researched. (Don't let anyone else tell you it's not registered, this team is very successful getting owner info!) They can also assist with completing a found report filed at Solano County Animal Shelter on your behalf.
*This team does NOT provide housing and the shelter will not be open until Tuesday, July 7th for intakes, so please have a plan in place*
If you need a lost pet scanned or tags researched, please send a private message to the following TEAM MEMBERS:
Amanda Ferro & Kailee Hoover- located downtown Vacaville.
Kim Wells - Vacaville by prison
Kristina Bradley- later in the evening Mankas Corner Fairfield
(Names in 1st comment so they can be messaged)
Our gurus will be assisting with updates on all the community lost and found pages.

If you happen to see your missing pet on our website, please send us a private message and we can arrange pick up! See less

As many of you know, one of our trusted partners for injured wildlife is Napa Wildlife Rescue. They work incredibly hard to provide care for our injured avian friends, but due to a recent influx in bird-related calls, there is now a two-step process for birds needing assistance.

Napa Wildlife will automatically accept birds that have:
🪺 Struck a window
🪺 Been caught by a cat
🪺 Been caught by a dog

For all other injured bird situations, we ask that you first contact Napa Wildlife so their team can evaluate the bird and provide guidance on the most appropriate next steps. After speaking with Napa Wildlife, you can then contact Humane Animal Services and we will confirm your conversation with their staff. This process helps ensure limited wildlife rehabilitation resources are prioritized for birds with the highest chance of successful treatment and release.

Before calling, please remember:
🐦 A baby bird on the ground is not always orphaned — many young birds spend time outside the nest while learning to fly, with mom monitoring the situation
🐦 Not every bird that appears injured requires intervention.
🐦 PLEASE avoid offering food or water unless directed by a wildlife professional, as this can unintentionally cause harm.

We know it can be difficult to see an injured animal and want to help immediately. We appreciate the community’s patience as local wildlife resources continue working through a very busy season. Thank you to Napa Wildlife and all rehabilitation partners for the care they provide to our wild residents every day.

We’re a little late posting, but here are our statistics for April 2026.

We have seen a significant increase in calls regarding injured wildlife. As baby season is now underway, we ask everyone to please drive carefully and stay alert for animals near roadways.

If you come across a nest or baby animals tucked away somewhere, please do not disturb them. In many cases, their parents are nearby and continuing to care for them.

If you encounter a sick or injured animal, please contact our office at 707-449-1700. Please note that if the responding officer determines the animal is not sick or injured, it will be left in its natural environment.

Thank you for helping us protect and care for the animals in our community.

Sincerely,
Humane Animal Services
