City of Manteca Animal Shelter

I had an encounter with the head animal control officer, whose name I can't remember, but I recall she had blonde hair and a friend mentioned she used to be a dog groomer. I believe this woman should not be working with the public because she was incredibly insulting. I found a dog and brought him in to have him checked for a microchip. I didn't have a leash and was carrying this large, dirty dog wrapped in a blanket. She just sat there and didn't even try to help. She didn't greet me or ask how she could assist. Instead, she approached me, uttered only two words, scanned the dog, and then began to walk away. I assumed she was going to get a leash or help in some way, so I followed her. She then stopped, looked me up and down, and rudely asked, "What are you doing?" I replied that I thou

I would give no stars but one will do. Whom ever answer the phones here shouldn't be employed. She's rude and non helpful. As if stray animals are not her problem. Calling to get basic information seems to be a bother to her.

13 years ago I walked into the shelter at the old location and fell in love with Molly and told the Officer (Cindy) to write her up and I'd be back at 3:30pm to pick her up, no muss no fuss. At the time she was approx 5 months old and has been the best companion ever. Manteca, if you're getting this, Thank You. And if you ever receive another Aussie that needs rescuing please give me a call.

Adopted 3 Huskies from this Shelter in the last 4 month to free up space for more dogs coming in every day. There is very limited staff on duty. Have friends donating their free time, products & money to help. Also, going to the City Council Meetings to improve conditions,add space & resources. For all of you complaining, do some research before making such negative statements. Only 2 officers on duty in a growing town. Go help. Since my friends have been involved, many positive changes are happening; however, still need help. Go take the dog out of kennel & take him for a walk,some dogs are going crazy in the cage. Clean up the kennels. Be proactive. They need help. Also, many people try to surrender animals from out of Manteca to a shelter with no space. Not allowed. And shame on folks

Just adopted this little cutie, and had a great experience! Our officer was helpful, gave us plenty of time with the dog on our own. He was neutered at a clinic Tracy, which is super convenient. They also will add on any services at the same time...never been able to do that before 😊 So far he's a wonderful companion who loves everybody. Can't thank the shelter enough for saving so many animals❤️
