Happy Tails values the life of every cat and dog by providing compassionate care and cage-free shelter for homeless animals and working toward ending overpopulation and mistreatment. Learn more about what makes us special.
The Center is currently open Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays 12:00-6:00PM.
After more than a year of uncertainty, we share your relief and joy as California officially reopened on June 17th.
We understand that everyone is excited to return to activities we enjoyed before the pandemic. However, face coverings will still be required at Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary, for individuals who are not fully vaccinated.
Self-screening for symptoms and good hand hygiene will be in place at our care facilities. You'll find hand sanitizer throughout our locations. If you don't have a personal face covering or mask, we'll provide a mask for you.
If you're fully vaccinated, thank you for doing your part to help keep your family, friends and communities safer.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate these forever changing times, and look forward to providing care to the animals and your family.
