My dad has been wanting a dog for a little over a year now. So he went to the shelter, but they stated you need to look up the pet you want to ask to meet so there's no walk ins :( I helped my dad look online since he didn't know how and we picked out a dog. We went the next day and asked to meet the puppy, but he had already been adopted. However, he had a brother and he's was just wonderful! They let us adopt him that same day, and were kind enough to give my dad a used crate, 2 dog toys, a small bag of food, and leash to start him off! :) I haven't seen my dad so happy in forever! His new dog has taken to him so well and is very behaved! I think the staff gave him some training since he listens so well and understands "sit", "no", "down" and doesn't tug on the leash during walks. My only complaints were that the website wasn't updated, and a little hard to navigate. But the staff were very kind, and working hard to try and help everyone. There were A LOT of walk ins so it did take a few hours! But it was sooooo worth it to get my dad a friend again! :) Much love from the Schnibben family and our new pup Bert!

Went by to look at cats only to find out that they want you to scan a QR code to look at the cats which is fine but they did not even have any pictures up. Just seems like they are making it harder and harder for animals to get adopted which is really unfortunate. Don't waste your time here. It's no wonder there is so much overcrowding. Places need to stop acting like covid is still a thing and open back up to the way things were before so animals can finally start finding homes again.

The shelter isn't the best place for an animal(home is of course) but it's way better than being on the streets. They are out of the elements!! Have a clean sanitized kennel DAILY!! They have fresh WATER, get FOOD and TREATS, get a WALK(extra time when there are volunteers), they get a vet check, get vaccinated and flea treated, FIXED before becoming adoptable AND they get LOVE and ATTENTION from the staff/volunteers!!! AND Yes if they are short staffed it's hard trying to take time out to show a dog or cat. That time is cutting into kennel cleaning, giving meds and potty breaks.. Cut the place some slack it is over flowing with strays and surrendered pets!! Not enough rescues and adopters, too many breeders... Volunteering helps tremendously please consider it!

I had three young cats to give them. They refused to take them, unseen. Martinez wouldn't take them since they were from Antioch. I had to turn them loose because we have two Staffordshires, one of which hates cats because his previous owner used to sick him in cats. I highly recommend that if someone wants a fur family member, pick them up in Antioch. They may not have papers, but the ones you get from a breeder doesn't necessarily have legal papers. I've found that animal control pets are more loving.

Some shelters, wont return calls, wont return emails and wont even talk to you. Antioch shelter did everything right for me, there websites a bit clunky, put the people were all friendly to me and all seemed to be very caring for the animals. I think they all should be commended for the work they do. And thanks for my new beautiful kitten, Bella

I wish I could give negative stars for how awful Antioch Animal Services is. Saturday April 23rd our neighbors aggressive dog which we have previously raised concerns with the owner, this dog broke our fence which you can see in the pictures that it was pushed from their side. The dog then took and mauled our puppy that we have had for 3 weeks, the sweetest most perfect puppy that was not the curious type to even mess with the fence. Animal Control eventually came after Antioch PD which they are great but the Animal Control Officer that came went directly to the neighbor and took their statement which I should mention they had a party and had their music blasted and they claimed that our 23lb puppy broke the fence and was in their yard and their dog had the right to kill her. They eventually came to us to take our statement and had already come to the conclusion that they would not take the neighbors dog. Pretty much telling us it was our puppies fault that she got killed. To add to this my boyfriend and I were in my room after everything happened only to hear our neighbors sister saying that she “punked” the animal control supervisor into letting them keep their dog which has had many other occasions which she has attacked other dogs. Since she was in their yard after getting dragged from our backyard it was not on them. This place has to be the absolute worst and does not care about your animals. They made us feel that it’s okay for another dog to break your fence and take your puppy but since the dog took her to their side it’s the puppies fault for being in her backyard walking along the fence line only to get taken and killed. They have to be the most unprofessional, incompetent, useless department.
