It takes everyone's help to keep Irvine's homeless animals happy and healthy!  Your donation of money or supplies to the IACC will help us provide the best possible care to the thousands of animals who come to the Shelter each year. When you donate to the Shelter, you will receive our newsletter, The Shelter Scoop.  For larger donations, we will be happy to talk with you about naming opportunities and other forms of recognition.  Please click on the button below to make a donation online.

“The City of Irvine takes your privacy seriously.  In order to make the service offered on this web page available online, the City uses the assistance of an outside service provider.  Please be aware that this provider is not bound by the City’s website Policy, but does have its own privacy policy which may be found at licensepet.com/privacy.htm which we encourage you to review.  Although the City requests that the outside service provider use the personal information submitted by you only to provide the service it is performing on behalf of the City, we ultimately have no control over the provider’s actions or policies and the City disclaims all liability related thereto.”

The Shelter has several programs funded largely by donations. EXTENDED CARE PROGRAM The City of Irvine provides basic care for Irvine animals for the first 45 days. After 45 days, it is up to the Shelter to raise donation funds to care for the animal for the rest of its stay. Most of our animals are adopted in less than 45 days, but we do have some that take a bit longer to find that special new family. Click here to donate to the Extended Care program. ENHANCED CARE PROGRAM The IACC sometimes receives animals in poor condition that have been injured or neglected for long periods of time. The Enhanced Care program funds the additional medical treatments these animals require to become healthy (i.e. eye surgery, a broken limb, x-rays, tooth extractions). Click here to donate to the Enhanced Care program. THIRD CHANCE FOR PETS PROGRAM This program allows the IACC to transfer animals from overcrowded shelters that otherwise may not find a home.  When kennels are available at the IACC, staff can bring some of these animals to the Shelter for adoption. Because these animals come from outside of Irvine, their care is funded mostly by donations.  Without the generous support of donors such as you this program could not exist.  Since inception, the IACC has accepted more than 5,000 animals into the Third Chance for Pets program.
