The Chula Vista Animal Shelter is funded by the City of Chula Vista and has the Animal Control Contract for the area. The new shelter has over 150 dog kennels, 20 puppy cages and 80 cat cages. The ideal climatic conditions of southern California allow the kennels to be in an outdoor, heavily landscaped park, which contains trellised walkways and an amphitheater for educational presentations. The cat adoption mall is featured upon entry, displaying the cats in a cheerful, well-lit, comfortable environment.
