The Hollister Animal Shelter will be CLOSED to the public on Monday, February 15th in honor of Presidents' Day. We wish everyone a safe holiday weekend!
WE’RE HIRING! Looking for a way to combine your passions for animals and law enforcement? Come join our team at Hollister Police Animal Care and Services!

Wet weather and wind is expected in San Benito County for the next few days. Please remember that all dogs housed outside MUST be provided with shelter from the elements! If you have concerns for the welfare of an animal in your area you can contact our Animal Services staff at 831-636-4320 to file a report.
Can you spot the furry friend in this tree?! He surely sees us and, chances are, he won’t come down for that very reason. We receive lots of calls for feral cats stuck in trees but rarely are they actually stuck. Cats are both predators and prey animals, making a tree an ideal hangout. Although climbing down may not be as graceful, a cat can almost always find their way to the ground without assistance. In some cases, attempting to rescue a cat may put both the rescuer a...nd the cat at risk of serious injury. In this particular case, ACOs observed this cat to be relaxed and healthy, basking in the sun. It was determined to leave him or her be and check in later, but not before leaving some wet food at the bottom of the tree for encouragement!
Even on observed holidays, our shelter staff works behind the scenes to ensure the best care is provided to the animals we house. Meanwhile, our field services team is on call 24-7 to respond to animal related emergencies within San Benito County. Our doors may close, but the job of a Hollister Animal Shelter employee never ends! Thank you for letting us serve YOU!
Don’t miss our scary cute adoptable animals out at Swank Farms from 11-3pm today! Hope to see you there!

ACO’s had an early start serving the wonderful community of San Benito County. Officers first responded to a loose horse in a residential neighborhood. They were able to identify an owner and the horse was returned. Shortly after, officers responded to a deer caught in fruit netting and in distress. With the help of some animal loving community members, ACO’s were able to cut the thick fence netting tangled along the buck’s antlers and watch as he happily trotted away. #hollisteranimalshelter #wildlife #animalcontrol
Lucky for this kitty, a recycling truck was driving through an easement road and noticed him struggling to get his head free from a chain link fence. Officer Morris and Officer Bautista were quick to respond, working methodically to free the terrified cat without injury. We are happy to report that this lucky guy is recovering well at the shelter, where staff will search for rescue! Way to go, ACOs!

Hollister Animal Care and Services is working closely with other agencies in anticipation of any potential evacuation of animals. In an effort to be best prepared, we are compiling a list of volunteers who are willing to take in evacuated livestock within our county, if needed. We have also been in contact with surrounding animal control agencies to discuss planning and ideas. Please know that, behind the scenes, our shelter staff is taking steps to be ready to care for your animals- large and small! Please contact our office at 831-636-4320 to be added to our list of potential volunteers.

Dogs can die when left inside of a hot car, even just for a quick trip to the store. Leaving an animal to suffer is a criminal offense. Hollister Police Animal Care and Services is reminding you to, please, leave your pets at home and keep them cool in this heat!
UPDATE: RETURNED TO OWNER These sweet pups were left in our night kennels. If anyone knows who they belong to, please contact the Hollister Animal Shelter at (831) 636-4320 and reference #A068841 (top left) #A068842 (bottom left) and #A067844 (right).
It's going to be a hot weekend in San Benito County! While you try to keep cool today, remember to consider your pets too!
