This review is for the walk-in clinic. I just left there with my three cats and my three small…read morechildren looking to get a simple dewormer. I was told that they had to have RABIES VACCINE PROOF. THIS WAS NEVER STATED ON THE WEBSITE. This was a huge waste of my time as I drove from afar with three small children and three cats in carriers. I have recently fostered and adopted from here two months ago. The clinic needs to do better. IF PROOF OF RABIES VACCINE WAS REQUIRED, THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN POSTED ON WALK-IN CLINIC INFORMATION PAGE OR ANYWHERE. Also, I was told that I might not get seen because 10 puppies were just brought in. It's like they were looking for an excuse to turn me away. There's a walk-in clinic right up the street. I'll be taking my services there from here on out. Lastly, this is no way to treat your fosters and adopters let alone anyone!

We took are small dog because she was having trouble peeing. We paid for an ultrasound and urine…read moretest and the determined she has a UTI and prescribed antibiotics and sent us in our merry way. Fast forward a week and she's crying and struggling to go to the bathroom. We thought constipation. After a whole night of pain we called VAC and they said they had no appointments for follow up, it wasn't the antibiotics and to go to urgent care. We ended up at a different vet who first thing palpated her bladder and felt a mass. Then took a simple xray which showed 3 large bladder stones, one of which was blocking her from going pee. I'm no Dr, but wouldn't the original ultrasound from VAC show this? Wasn't that the point of the ultrasound? Even the 2nd vet was baffled that they didn't detect 3 cheese ball sized bladder stones via ultrasound, which I hear provides more detailed information than an X-ray. Anyway, I find that surprisingly incompetent. And even if they couldn't provide the necessary treatment (surgery), I would assume they would have spotted something so obvious and offered a treatment plan. Maybe they didn't even do the ultrasound? But they certainly billed for it. Anyway, boo on you VAC. Don't go here, they messed up big time.

I met other people who had to surrender pets due to homelessness or lost job. although it's a kill shelter they do their absolute best to provide care in order to get these dogs adopted faster. they encourage people to foster and help these animals find home.

This is Fresno Animal Center. Not to be confused with Fresno Humane. Key difference is the…read morejurisdiction. FAC serves within Fresno city limits and Humane serves the county. They strictly abide by these rules. I can only comment on the services that I use here. I've received vouchers in the past and gotten animals fixed for $30. If I foster, I will come here and get them assessed, dewormed, vaccinated along with flea and tick preventative. This is free of cost since I'm taking the responsibility of fostering instead of leaving them there at the shelter. They also offer me free food but I decline so it can go to someone who really needs it. Foot traffic varies. I've been here half a day or sometimes it takes no time at all. They make it very clear to people who surrender and drop off that the animal is at risk of euthanasia. They are always at critical capacity so if you are looking for a companion I always encourage to adopt and not shop or alternatively, fill out their foster application as they are always looking for foster ppl to save more animals and all supplies are provided.

Their puppy adoption rates are already higher than two other local shelters. CCSPCA, don't complain about full kennels but then charge people ridiculous prices to adopt! I truly hope you rethink your business tactics/practices, for the sake of animals needing good and safe homes. P.S. I debated on posting because ultimately their mission is what I believe in but this experience was deplorable and in my opinion went against their mission/purpose; people want to help, but blatant money grabs like this are disgraceful to witness!

If you text or call, they will respond, but I try to be patient, as they deal with a lot of emergencies. I've had to bring a few stray dogs here, and am so happy they are my district (not the awful place). I am confident that they will do the most for each animal, finding a foster or adopter. I only wish they were in charge of all Fresno county, since I sometimes find animals out of their jurisdiction and have nowhere to take them that is not high kill shelter. The last dog I brought was terrified and biting at me. They managed to calm it down, and find a foster by the afternoon. Be nice to them. They deal with rude people and heartbreaking animals all day. Bless them.

Unfortunately, instead of offering assistance, staff instructed me to return him to where I found him and just leave him. The employee was also rude and spoke to me in a short, dismissive manner.

They used to be located by the rail road tracks in what looked like a big red barn. The new location seems more spacious and a lot better IMO since it's not as cold and more parking. The service is always great cus the employees are always knowledgeable. They even have a rewards program with some dog food. I think it's buy 10 bags or buy 15 bags get the next free? Something like that. It has to be the same bag same weight tho. Still good if ur grabbing the same shit. The last time we went we changed our dogs dog food cus he was having bad allergies. There was a lady there that worked with the brand Red Barn (how funny I brought up red barn earlier lol) and she helped us out a lot. We ended up choosing that brand n got grain free and she gave us a $10 off coupon I forgot how much it was but that was deals... she also gave us a free canned food version and a coupon for the dry food topper for free. So we got all that for the discounted dog food price cus of the coupons. Fuckkn awesome man!!!

I got my 6 month old kitten in on a Tuesday morning, the parking lot was full so I had to hang out and wait a bit for a spot to open, but she me people just parked wherever they could, at the red fire lane, blocking other cars etc. The fairly small parking lot is probably the biggest challenge. I got a text my kitten was ready for pick up, it took about 15 minutes from when I got there to pulling out of the parking lot. Baby boy did great, staff said he was a good boy and he didn't seem to have any pain after the procedure either, so the pain meds they give work well. I got extra pain meds for next day but we didn't even need it. I will be taking other pets here for spay/neuter in the future, because of the great pricing and wonderful experience.

Every animal that she adopts out goes through a veterinary check before they are cleared for adoption. They are well cared for and socialized.
