The following stray animals are currently in custody at the Newport Beach Animal Shelter.

Please note that it may take a couple hours for animals recently impounded to appear on this page. This listing does not include animals that have been in our custody long enough to be made available for adoption (typically 5-7 days), or animals on a police hold due to safekeeping, quarantine, or evidentiary impounds. Please call Animal Control at 949-718-3454 if you believe your pet may be at our shelter.

We highly recommend all of the following steps in order to find your missing pet:

1. Contact our shelter at 949-718-3454 to report a lost pet.
2. It is always helpful to provide a photograph of your pet. Please provide a copy (not an original photo) to our shelter.
3. Make fliers or posters and circulate them with your neighbors. (Note: it is unlawful to put such materials inside a mailbox or tack them to trees or poles on private property).
4. Check with local Veterinary Hospitals and be sure to leave a detailed description of your lost pet.
5. It is not uncommon for a lost pet to wander for several miles or to be picked up by someone from another city. You should expand your search beyond Newport Beach and visit other nearby shelters.

Don't give up! Many animals are reunited with their owners weeks after becoming lost.

Please license, microchip and tag your animals.

A good first step to adopting any animal is deciding on the breed(s) of dog or cat that will best suit you and your family needs. It is wise to do a little homework first, reading books or magazines that give detailed information about the various attributes or deficiencies of the various breeds that are of interest to you.

Once you have narrowed your list of potential breeds and have decided on the approximate age group, you can begin your search for the dog, puppy, cat or kitten that is just right for you.

Hundreds of thousands of homeless animals find their way to animal shelters across the county. Because of this, we highly recommend that your adoption efforts start at one of these animal shelters.

The adoption process begins with the completion of an Animal Adoption Application form. Applications can be completed at any time during or after the required holding period for stray pets. No application will be approved for adoption until the animal has been held for the entire stray holding period.
