Spade and neuter your animals, please. The living conditions at this place is the best one can provide and it still sucks. Though, its honorable what they do here. Low price shots for your pet at the beginning of the months.
It's an older facility. If you go in search of a certain animal sometimes they can't locate it. Paperwork on kennels does not match animals in kennels. More expensive than Merced and Madera SPCA even though they provide the same services.
Was able to get my doggie her vaccines for a very reasonable price
They were very nice n compassionate about the animals
Rude people here they don't care about people or animals not at all helpful don't bother with them they give u a hard time hire people who are animal Lovers this people are HORRIBLE !!!!!!!!,,,,
Good place to rescue animals, care for them, and take home for pets.
Nothing but a wonderful organization who truly cares about the suffering of our strays and abandoned animals.
I fostered a sweet mother cat and her three kittens for a few days before my husband needed them to go (he's allergic). I was hoping to keep them off the streets and out of the heat in Fresno for a while (they were found on someone's porch in Sanger). Had I returned them to the streets, they would have faced a life of fleas & ticks, the heat, the lack of food/water, the constant procreating, accidents with cars, mean people, & fights with other strays. I couldn't do it to them.
In three short days, I bonded with them all. They were all so loving and fantastic with my 3 year old son. It broke my heart to part with them, but all of the no-kill shelters didn't have any room (as it's kitten-season in Fresno).
Noah, the manager (?) greeted me and we agreed that I would do an "owner surrender" so they wouldn't have to wait in the stray "holding area" for four days (I couldn't bear it). Because they all had a cold, they were taken as a family into an isolation unit to be treated before being set up for adoption (I had tried to find good homes for 3 days).
For a minimal fee ($80), I dropped them off to be cared for by the staff, and with identifying numbers/tags to let me keep track of their progress (adopted or not) in the future.
The CCSPCA gets a bad rap for euthanizing unwanted/unadoptable animals. I must say, they're truly just cleaning up behind the lazy/callous/negligent owners and breeders that contribute to the overpopulation of animals in Fresno.
I have nothing but respect and admiration for those who do the "tough work" when it comes to respecting and caring for animals. With nearly 8 million animals entering shelters every YEAR, euthanization is truly the most kind option for those who don't have a chance at being adopted. There is nothing worse than life in a cage, surrounded by barking, stressed out animals. Save your criticism for the pet owners who support breeders and who don't spay or neuter. We have a stray/abandoned animal crisis in Fresno, and the SPCA deserves our support for doing what the rest of us WON'T: offering a solution to alleviate animal suffering.
Thank you, SPCA and Noah for your efforts and support!
This place does Fresno a huge service. Also, my son is picking up plenty of volunteer hours for his school here. By the way youu can also adopt other types of pets other than cats and dogs such as reptiles, fish, horses, and birds, depending on whats available of course. Support them please!
Friendly staff who assisted me promptly and professionally.
Don't expect to get help from workers. The animals are treated good from what I seen they keep the area clean.
Very nice people but the place as a bad smell from all the animals that were their.
I take my dog to the vet here.Inexpensive,young Vet who really seems to like the animals.The old vet finally retired.I knew more than he did.Now the Vet listens to you.
After adopting a dog for the cost of buying a pure bred dog. My dog got out one time and I was charged a lot of money to get him back and threatened with legal action if it happened again. I will never adopt another animal from this organization again.
I have always hated this place. And I probably always will, however, over the past few years they have got a little better. Its dirty, stinks, staff just chit chat every time Ive been there, nobody is actually working. There is plenty of room to add additional space and they recieve plenty of funding to update the facilities they have.
Always having phone issues. They don't answer or keep track of phone call information
Very friendly and helped my fill out my paper work to be a sponsor. Cathy is very helpful when i call and have questions about the kittens I'm fostering and is very patient with my questions. Looking forward to adopting my foster when the time comes!
There is a lot more to this place than I remembered. I only went there to donate newspapers.
Wish it was no kill but other then that good place.
This place is something else. I called two days in a row about a dead dog in the road and nobody came to pick it up even though they said they would. the dog ended up getting busted up by the cars so bad, a tail was on one side of the road and a leg is on another side of the road. they Don't Care about animals they never did! I don't know why this place is even still in business.
Love animal shelters who have regular adoptions...found them from a booth they had at the Fresno Fair
I would really give them no stars. When my cat went missing, i went there to see if she was brought in. A cat looked almost identical to her. I just wanted more info in case it was her, shes asthmatic and needs daily meds. The guy couldnt and wouldnt tell me anything. I just wanted him to take her out of the cage so i could get a better all around look. He wouldnt. Im a regular supporter of ccspca, but not anymore. I would adopt from there just to save an animals life but i will no longer make any donations.
Best staff in the Central Valley! Very caring and knowledgeable.
Got my kitten here, great service and advice from employees and volunteers.
Always nice to help orphaned pets find new loving homes
So upset with this place! I called about an stray kitten probably only days old with something wrong with its back legs, they said I could drop it off. I tried going around 8 pm, and the place is closed, so I called they're emergency line. The lady I spoke to said being that small there just going to euthanize it anyway, so to just keep it overnight and come back the next day! SO LET IT SUFFER, WITH NO FOOD ALL NIGHT JUST TO DROP IT OFF TO DIE! I THOUGHT THIS WAS A NO KILL SHELTER?!? WHAT'S THE POINT OF AN EMERGENCY HOTLINE, EMERGENCY ROOM ANYTHING IF NO ONE IS GOING TO BE THERE! BAD THINGS HAPPEN AFTER 4PM PEOPLE!!!
I had a wonderful experience at the SPCA Fresno. They are very special people there. They do a wonderful job with all the animals.
There doing a wonderful job caring for our best friends .
Please donate $ or food or time when you can.
Drive carefully for some are lost and lonely...
Fresno County contract SPCA. Staff was courteous and welcoming.
We headed to the adoptions area and the dogs were as expected in a rescue/surrender shelter. Many adorable, some sad, some clearly ill but the "best of the rest." We picked our pup and did our due diligence. A sign clearly read of a discount for adoptions over the previous weekend but the staff refused to honor it.
We headed home to deal with our day including a new family member. Made an appt to go to the vet the next day to find that pup was infested with multiple parasites. SPCA claimed the pups were worm, tick, and flea free - Pup's guts were infested with multiple types of parasites. 2/3, I suppose? Nothing unexpected but the false health claim and unwillingness to honor an advertised price left me feeling like we were fleeced for choosing to rescue a dog from death.
No bad, not good. Just, "Okay." Dealing in death is like that? I suggest exploring other options as well.
I adopted two cats and was told if for any reason I had seven days to return the animal. Well one of the cats was extremely not happy at all and bit me on the arm and fingers as well as scratched me and I ended up having to go to the doctor which cost me $60 for meds and a shot. Anyway I took the cat back and the same girl that did my adoption paperwork for the two cats was there so I told her I'd like my money back for this cat and showed her my bite marks.I then told her you said for any reason well I think the cat being extremly violent warrants getting my money back, at that time she proceeds to tell me that's not what I said well to make a long story short after talking with the manager and telling them all that I'm not leaving without getting my money back that's exactly what happened. They should've never put that cat up for adoption and it took me four trips down there to finally pick up my refund check. The other cat I adopted is great I couldn't have asked for a better one but they should've known not to adopt the other one especially since they had a hell of a time catching it to put it in the car carrier in the first place.
Dirty, no one to watch dogs, dogs snapping at each other and humping each other
I've been coming here for years even as a kid would come in adopt a few animals you still get the same awesome generous hospitality love the continuous stuff that keeps coming and going as you know the years go by hahaha
I volunteered a lot of hours here because I wanted to help out. I adopted my puppy here, it's been about 4 years now. Everytime I would go in they wouldn't acknowledge me, and sometimes ignored my questions. Workers in the lost pet section always talked while I did all the cleaning work, until someone would come in. Good prices on vaccines and surgery though. They will track you down if you're late for your pet's vaccines. They called me so many times while I was at school during high school . I don't even know why they kept calling me and threatening me to give me a $180 fine if I wasn't the first number on the documents, I was just a kid.
The Fresno chapter just continues to disappoint me.
They really help find the best for your pets needs.
Don't try to get any assistance after hours..the officer on duty lied to me and ignored any thing I had to say..i had contained an animal that bit me and he said bring it back tomorrow when they are open I was at the facility it was ten min. After they closed. he said he was on a emergency call a dog attacking children then 5 min later he pull out of the front gate and would not stop when I flagged him down.
A little pup with mange was dumped on my property and we had to take him in. The staff assured me they would nurse him back to health and take very good care of him. They gave me his acct # so I could check on him.
My dog peaches got lost then we found her there but it stinks in there really bad
Phone system sucks, hospital is closed permanently should make the automated system more streamline. The whole place is a little dirty, yes I know its a dog shelter, but its dirty even for being one...
Had to put my dog down so it was a sad day. There was only one woman working the counter an she was very friendly. Place was clean.
I adopted my amazing dog from this SPCA. People at the front are not so kind but at the end of the day I do believe they do a really good work with the animals. My puppy has been in great shape ever since we adopted him and he is growing and getting more wonderful every day. He was already neutered, deworm and ate dry food. They did so much for him I can only say thanks for everything you do.
I hate spca never go there they are so rude and don't care for the animals at all if there was zero stars I would go with zero and they give you your pet sick don't get a pet there EVER BELIEVE ME

If i could i would give them a half a million dollars. They do what we wont.
Went to see if my lost dog was there. Only one of the employees was helpful. The other 3 were just talking and ignoring everyone. I asked one of the girls at the desk a question and she didn't even acknowledge me. What is worse is that they were not even busy!!! It was all bad.
Amazing! The staff was awesome, we got our little Buddy. Thank you SPCA you're doing an amazing job.
Adopt and save a life. If you are looking for your new forever friend go look here. Many excellent dogs to choose from ( unfortunately). Most of the staff is great. There is a thrift shop on property that also helps support the S.P.C.A. If you have a pile of newspapers laying around take them here and drop them off.
The workers are so nice and very caring about your and their animals.
The pets are great but getting in contact with them is so hard on the phone
Very nice people and dedicated to animals may God bless the workers there
These people work very hard to care for all animals. They spay and neuter there. Adoption of animals.
adopted a sweet puppy, paid for extras and could not get them because they did not have the correct age when I adopted her but when I went to pick her up they had the right age and she was to young for the extras and I am still waiting for my refund on the extras. Also she had kennel cough and infection from drinking dirty water. Paid over $200 to adopt and then had to pay over $250 to get her healthy. We want to adopt another puppy but will not adopt from the SPCA again.
Really impressive for the valley. The seem to make the most of what they work with.
If anyone has blankets or other spare things that can be useful for pets please donate
