Do not treat every hour as the perfect time for every service. Adoption visits, reclaim questions, found animal intake, field services, licensing and surrender guidance may involve different steps. If your case is urgent, involves a sick or injured animal, involves an animal obstructing traffic, or involves cruelty or neglect, use the official field services routing instead of waiting for a normal visit.

Hours: 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Use this window for adoption visits, reclaim help, lost-pet search, licensing questions and general shelter services.

Wednesday

Hours: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Wednesday has a slightly later closing time, but you should still arrive early for adoption or reclaim help.

Saturday and Sunday

Animal Care main phone: 800-472-5609.

Adoption process

How to Adopt a Pet From Devore Animal Shelter

San Bernardino County Animal Care lists adoptable animals through its official Adopt a Pet page and the 24Petconnect shelter search. Each animal listing can show the animal ID, shelter location, age estimate, breed estimate, sex, size, color, intake details and current status. Use the official search first because rescue reposts and screenshots can become stale quickly.

1

Search official Devore adoptable pets first

Start with the San Bernardino County Animal Care Adopt a Pet page or the Devore 24Petconnect listing. Confirm the animal is located at Devore Shelter before driving.

2

Write down the animal ID

Bring the animal ID, name, listing screenshot and shelter location when you call or visit. This helps staff find the correct animal faster, especially when multiple animals have similar descriptions.

3

Check the animalโ€™s status and notes

Some Devore listings may show urgent notes, medical-waiver wording, age estimates, rescue interest or other status details. Ask staff what each status means before assuming the pet can go home immediately.

4

Visit or call during shelter hours

Call Devore at 909-386-9820 or visit during posted hours. Prepare questions about medical care, spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip, behavior observations, other pets, children and first-week adjustment.

5

Review cost, licensing and included care

San Bernardino County lists standard adoption fees, free-adoption funding while available, and possible dog license fees for jurisdictional dogs. Ask staff what applies to your specific adoption before finalizing.

๐Ÿพ Strong adoption filter: Do not adopt only because a pet is urgent, cute, free or heavily shared online. Ask whether the animal fits your home, budget, lease rules, time, children, resident pets, training ability and long-term care plan.
Fees and included care

Devore Animal Shelter Adoption Fees, Free Adoptions and Included Services

San Bernardino County Animal Careโ€™s Adopt a Pet page lists standard adoption fees and notes that adoption fees are waived for Veterans and seniors over age 65 for qualifying pets.

How to View Devore Dogs, Cats and Other Available Pets

Devore adoptable pets are listed through the official San Bernardino County Animal Care adoption resources. 24Petconnect listings can show the animal ID, name, shelter location, breed estimate, age, size, color, shelter arrival date and found-near details.

Online listings are helpful, but they are not a permanent reservation. A pet may be adopted, reclaimed, transferred to rescue, moved to medical, placed on hold, marked urgent or made temporarily unavailable. Refresh the official listing before you drive and call Devore at 909-386-9820 if you are visiting for one specific animal.

โš ๏ธ Availability warning: If a Devore pet is listed as urgent or medical-waiver, act quickly but still ask clear questions. Urgency is not a substitute for understanding the animalโ€™s health, behavior and long-term care needs.
Lost and found

Devore Lost Pets, Found Pets and Reclaim Help

San Bernardino County Animal Care has a Find My Lost Pet page for Big Bear and Devore shelters. The county recommends listing your lost pet on Petco Love Lost and using the shelter pet search tool. It notes that photos of lost pets are generally uploaded to the website within about one hour of pets arriving at Devore and Big Bear Lake shelters, but owners should keep checking if they do not see the pet immediately.

If your pet is missing

Use the official Find My Lost Pet page, register the lost pet on Petco Love Lost, search the Big Bear and Devore shelter tool, and inform the shelter that you are searching for your pet.

If you found a pet

Use the official Report a Pet I Found page. For sick, injured, aggressive, suffering animals or animals obstructing traffic in San Bernardino County Animal Care service areas, call 800-472-5609 and select field services.

Reclaim preparation

Bring valid ID, proof of ownership, photos, veterinary records, microchip details, license information and any notices or animal ID you found online.

Medical or quarantine note

The county lost-pet guidance warns that a pet may be in quarantine, in a medical area or sent to an animal hospital. Keep checking and contact the shelter even if the pet is not visible online right away.

Lost pet steps that actually help

  • Use the official Find My Lost Pet page first.
  • Register the missing pet on Petco Love Lost with a clear photo.
  • Search the Devore and Big Bear shelter tool repeatedly.
  • Call or visit Devore with your petโ€™s photos and microchip information.
  • Update the microchip registry with current phone and address.
  • Search nearby streets, desert edges, washes, yards, sheds and hiding spots.
  • Check surrounding city shelters if the pet may have crossed jurisdiction lines.
โš ๏ธ Lost pet reality: One social post is not enough. Use the county lost-pet page, Petco Love Lost, the shelter search tool, microchip updates and repeated checks.
Animal control

Devore Animal Control, Field Services and Abuse Reports

San Bernardino County Animal Care field services respond to situations such as stray animals, lost pets, cruelty or neglect reports, urgent calls, evacuations and education outreach. The countyโ€™s Report Issues FAQ says suspected animal abuse should be reported by calling 800-472-5609 and pressing 1 for Field Services.

Field services phone

Call: 800-472-5609.

Select the field-services option where directed for suspected abuse, sick or injured animals, aggressive animals, suffering animals or animals obstructing traffic in San Bernardino County Animal Care service areas.

What field services handle

Animal Control Officers respond to stray animals, lost pets, cruelty or neglect reports, urgent calls, evacuation support, disaster assistance and community education.

Service area check

San Bernardino County Animal Care serves unincorporated county areas and certain contract cities. Use the official service area map if you are unsure which agency handles your address.

Emergency caution

If a person is in immediate danger, there is an active attack, or there is a traffic or life-safety emergency, use emergency services first.

โš ๏ธ Report clearly: Give exact location, animal description, visible injuries, current danger, whether the animal is contained, and whether people or traffic are at risk.
Licensing and support

Devore Dog License, Rehome, Surrender and Pet Support Help

San Bernardino County Animal Care provides dog licensing and pet-owner support resources for its jurisdiction. The county also warns users to check the correct city or agency if they live outside the county animal care service area. That matters because licensing, citations, field response and shelter intake depend on jurisdiction.

Dog license

Use the official Dog License page for license requests and renewal guidance.

Dog license fees may apply when adopting a dog over four months old if you live inside San Bernardino County Animal Careโ€™s jurisdiction.

Rehome or surrender

If you live in an unincorporated area served by San Bernardino County Animal Care, contact the county to learn about available programs and resources.

If you live inside a city, contact that city directly for available programs and shelter guidance.

Pet care resources

The county provides resources for pet care, heat protection, emergency preparedness, community cats, licensing, microchipping and vaccination support.

Citations and laws

Animal laws and citations are handled through official county guidance. Do not ignore a citation; follow the instructions on the citation and the county animal laws page.

Hard truth: Surrender should not be the first move if the real issue may be food, temporary housing, behavior, vet cost, heat safety, licensing, microchip, disaster displacement or lack of support. Ask the proper local agency about resources first when safe and realistic.
Community cats

Devore Community Cats, TNVR Program and Trap Rental Notes

San Bernardino County Animal Care provides Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return resources for qualifying community cats. The program eligibility depends on the trapping location, not the personโ€™s home address. Community cats must be trapped within eligible unincorporated San Bernardino County areas to qualify under the county program.

TNVR eligibility

Community cats must be trapped within the eligible San Bernardino County Animal Care service area. Use the official eligibility map or chart before scheduling.

Partner clinics

The county lists partner clinic paths such as Priceless Pets and The PAW Mission for spay, neuter and vaccination appointments.

Refundable appointment deposits may apply depending on the partner clinic.

Trap rentals

Community cat traps are available to rent from Devore or Big Bear Animal Shelter for up to 10 days.

The county lists a $40 deposit per trap and a $4 daily rental fee deducted from the deposit.

Aftercare and return

Individuals and organizations must pick up cats the same day, provide aftercare, and return cats to the trapped location following clinic instructions.

๐Ÿ“Œ Community cat mistake: A friendly lost pet, an owned outdoor cat and a feral/community cat are not the same situation. Use the official TNVR chart and service-area map before trapping or scheduling.
