Shelter Statistics

The statistical charts below show the data for dogs and cat that enter and leave the Tehama County Animal Care Center. It is important to note we are not a "no-kill" shelter. We are an open, municipal shelter, where we are required to accept any stray dog that is found within Tehama County. Although not required to accept stray cats, we work off a waiting list to take in as many cats as our shelter can handle. 

Due to wonderful community support, rescue groups, shelter partners, fosters and volunteers, we have made great strides in the past several years, achieving the highest save rates in our shelter's history. Although this progress is fantastic, we understand that this is not perfection. We strive everyday to be a better shelter and continue to improve our practices as the only Tehama County animal shelter.
