Chula Vista Animal Care Facility Cheryl Cox & CVACF Staff
This week—You Are Invited! Chula Vista Rotary Social, Wednesday, March 11, 5:30 p.m. at
Pizzo’s Pizzeria, East H Street and Proctor Valley Road Bring a Friend, Rain or Shine!
The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility (CVACF) takes in approximately 6,000 home-less animals each year from Chula Vista, National City and Lemon Grove. Animals housed at the shelter receive personalized care and comprehensive medical treatment to keep them safe and healthy. One of their biggest priorities is reuniting lost pets with their owners. Approximately 20% of of animal intake returns home. Last year over 800 animals were reclaimed or returned to their owners.
When animals do not return home staff work hard to find a new home for them. Over 60% of our animal intake is rehomed. Almost 2,000 animals are adopted each year from our facility and over 700 are transferred to other partnering shelters that have the available space and/or special resources.
Animal control officers ensure the safety of people and animals in the community. They respond to all sorts of calls - from a stray alligator, to a hoarder case, to a tree stranded cat. They respond 24/7 365 a year to animal related emergencies. Daily they counsel and advise pet owners on welfare issues that have been brought to our atten-tion. Dispatch receives over 10,000 calls per year. Former Mayor Cheryl Cox is a strong supporter of the CVACF. She and the staff will provide an update on their latest activities and may even bring a furry friend along to
say hello. See you Friday!
