Door-to-Door Program

The Field Services Division of the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter conducts a proactive community based program called the Door-to-Door program that provides education and resources for pets and families in need. When families live in poverty, the pets they love sometimes are not afforded basic resources and care that can be taken for granted by those not living on the edge.

Proactive programs make a difference in our community!

The Door-to-Door program is a community-focused non-law enforcement program conducted by plainclothes animal control officers that addresses the issues of animal overpopulation, minor animal neglect, and nuisance complaints. As part of this program we go in to under-served communities and provide free of charge the following items: routine dog vaccinations, dog houses, dog trolley systems, collars, leashes, dog and cat flea medication, dog and cat toys, information on low-cost spay/neuter and other resources that can make a positive impact in the life of pets and their owners.
