Check out our new hours. Most DCHS and Wildlife Center services are by appointment only, including reuniting lost animals, surrendering a pet, wildlife rehabilitation, and more. Adoption visits are first-come, first-served. We recommend checking our current waitlist prior to your visit.
Outreach & Education
DCHS's Humane Education programs provide one-of-a-kind experiences that teach the public not only about the shelter but also how they can make our community a better place for both people and animals.
