DOMESTIC, FARM AND EXOTIC ANIMALS
Shasta Wildlife Rescue cannot accept any domestic animals including domestic birds (parakeets, lovebirds,
etc.). We also cannot accept farm animals, reptiles, amphibians or exotic animals. Our rehabilitation permit,
which is issued by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, only allows us to provide rehabilitative care to certain non-
domestic animals. For assistance with these animals check out the links below.

Domestic Animals
For domestic animals (dogs, cats, domestic birds) the primary contact in the City of Redding is the Haven
Humane Society. Call them at: 530 241-1653. They have a 24 hour phone monitor system at this number. For
the rest of Shasta County the primary contact is the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, Animal Regulation Dept.
For Tehama County the primary contact is the Tehama County Animal Services Office in Red Bluff.
