UPDATE: April 8, 2025 - GREAT NEWS! 🤩 Equine and small livestock have been rehomed with reputable animal rescues! 🙌 With this positive development, the live adoption event is cancelled.
Because these animals required ongoing professional veterinary care, the Norco Animal Shelter vetted each 501(c)(3) rescue to ensure they had the experience and resources to provide specialized treatment and compassionate care for each animal. 💟
The Norco Animal Shelter continues to care for dogs 🐶, cats 😺 and other animals that are waiting to find their forever home. To view available animals, visit www.norco.ca.us/animals or contact the Norco Animal Shelter at (951) 737-8972 or [email protected].
