Adoptions

Adopt a Shelter Pet

Universadoptdogkid.jpgal City Animal Care & Control serves as a temporary home for stray animals in our city. These animals are waiting to be reclaimed by their owners or placed with adoptive families. Our staff is ready to assist in educating potential adopters about the commitment, care, and responsibilities involved in pet ownership.

Our adoption fee is $80 and includes:

  • Spay or neuter surgery
  • First set of vaccinations
  • De-wormer
  • Microchip with free registration
  • Heartworm test for dogs over 6-months old
  • 1-year city pet license for Universal City residents 

Pet Adoption Guidelines

  • Must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid photo ID.
  • Renters must provide proof of breed restrictions, and a pet deposit is required.
  • If you currently have a pet in your household, please bring proof of its vaccinations, and a meet and greet with the animal you want to adopt is required before adoptions.
  • Adopting with the whole family is required to ensure everyone is agreement with a new household pet. Please make sure your dogs are on a leash and cats in a carrier.

Universal City Animal Care & Control reserves the right to refuse an adoption to anyone for any reason. 

You may view all our animals available for adoption on Petfinder and Petango. For more information on UCACC and details on our adoptable pets, be sure to follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ucshelter.
