The South Utah Valley Animal Shelter holds scheduled low cost vaccination and licensing clinics in partnership with local vets and the cities we serve. You can register to have you pet vaccinated at one of those clinics here on our website. Dates, times, and registration for these clinics can be found under the Licensing tab.
If you have pets that you have to rehome here are some tips:
contact friends, family or neighbors first. See if any are willing to adopt your pet.
You can look up and contact any Rescues in your area. If you have a breed
specific dog look up breed specific rescues. If your pet is spayed/neutered you
can make and post a pet profile on Rehome Adopt-A-Pet website. You can
choose the adopter while the pet stays with you. There are classified ads such as
KSL where you can post. Right now, shelters, rescues and fosters are full
nationwide. Our shelter can't take any owner released animals right now as we
are at critical capacity (some animals do have to be euthanized). We hope this
helps and if you have any other questions, please let us know.
We do not offer this or any over the counter vet services to the
public. (Low-cost vaccination clinics are listed on our page under clinics) If you are looking for spay/neuter try your local veterinarian. Some are not taking new clients, but please keep looking.
There is a low-cost S/N in Salt Lake County.
Come in to the shelter to look for you lost pet; please make them a Petco Love Lost account (free); post on community Facebook pages, make it as public as possible!
Keep ID on your pet and microchip! Many Animal Control Officers do carry scanners. Keep your information current with the chip or license.
