Full Notification

The Corona Police Department is proud to announce the “soon to be” opening of the NEW Animal Shelter in the City of Corona. This new facility will be located at 1330 Magnolia Avenue and will offer a larger amount of space, shelter, and kennels that are needed to better support our growing City.

This shelter will provide an increase in the overall total of dog kennels, including the number of public-view dog kennels, and it will also provide true isolation kennels for sick dogs and segregated secure kennels for aggressive dogs. Our new site will greatly increase security and will improve the kennel layout, as it is designed to reduce noise and stress for impounded dogs, and have a larger space for an indoor cattery for feral cats. Inside, the new facility will have a much larger lobby to improve foot-traffic flow and eliminate crowding. In addition to these benefits, ease of access will be greatly enhanced, as it is located near the Magnolia off-ramp of the I-15 freeway.

The City is excited about the new animal shelter, as this location will bring many benefits to our growing community! We will begin operations at the new shelter on August 24, 2015, with a formal “Grand Opening” scheduled for Saturday, September 12, 2015. There will be more information to follow in regards to the grand opening festivities and schedule of events.

In preparation for the move, the shelter will be participating in a very special adoption event. Saturday, August 15 is “Clear the Shelters Day,” a national event sponsored by NBC Television. By adopting one of our great shelter pets you can help us “Clear the Shelter.” We are extending this one-day event and making it a week-long event through Saturday, August 22. Our furry friends will have their bags packed and ready to move in with their new families! Please come by our current location at 608 Harrington St. and help us “Clear the Shelter” for our upcoming move.

Additionally, with the move to the new larger shelter, we are expanding our Animal Services Volunteer Program. We are looking for people who are interested in volunteering their time in positions such as; Adoption Support and Socialization Volunteer, Reception and Phone Support Volunteer, Maintenance Volunteer, Clerical Volunteer, and Rescue Coordinator.
