City officials say the Animal Shelter will continue to operate as usual to provide appropriate care for all animals in the facility. However, most services now will be provided on an appointment-only basis....this in order to minimize the exposure risk to shelter staff and other members of the community. According to Chico Animal Services, you can make appointments for adoptions, lost pets, dog licensing, and other services by visiting their website at www.chicoanimalshelter.org or you can call the Animal Shelter at (530) 894-5630.
