Coronado Animal Care Facility
In addition to housing the majority of the PAWS operations, the Coronado Animal Care Facility operates in a partnership with the Coronado PD to provide complete animal services to the City of Coronado. The enforcement of animal regulations is provided by the CPD, and the ACF provides vital animal welfare services and functions as the host for the PAWS programs.
A Loving Home
The ACF serves as emergency housing for animals found as strays in Coronado, relinquished and seized animals, and lost pets waiting to be reunited with their families.
Every animal brought to the Coronado ACF is provided with essential food, water and shelter, emergency medical care if necessary, and are treated with compassion and kindness.
Relinquishing Your Pet
If you are no longer able to care for your pet, they may be relinquished to the ACF where legal ownership will be transferred to PAWS of Coronado.
Relinquishing Process
Appointments are required to relinquish your pet and can be made by calling the ACF at (619) 522-7371. Staff will verify your eligibility and provide you with a relinquishment questionnaire. Bring the completed questionnaire, any medical/
immunization records you have for the pet, and a $20 relinquishment fee per animal to your appointment.
Program Restrictions
Pets may only be relinquished to the ACF if their owners are Coronado residents who can provide valid ID and proof of address. Exceptions to the residency rules can only be made for animals who were previously adopted through PAWS of Coronado.
