Shasta County Animal Regulations
The Sheriff’s Animal Regulations program serves unincorporated Shasta County. A county-operated animal shelter or dog-license workflow is not established by this page.
The Sheriff’s official referral names Haven Humane for licensing. Use the provider’s current online, in-person or mail instructions and check the correct residence jurisdiction; this does not make Haven a county-owned department. Clinic vaccination fees are separate from dog-license fees.
- Availability · Official county-to-Haven referral; Sheriff field enforcement remains a separate service
- For licensing, adoptions, unwanted pets, cat trap rentals, and spay/neuter vouchers please contact the Haven Humane Society at 241-2550/241-1653.
