About Animal Services

The Fremont Police Department's Animal Services Unit manages the Tri-City Animal Shelter which shelters animals found in Fremont, Union City and Newark. Union City and Newark have their own Animal Services Officers who respond to animal related concerns within their city. Tri-City Animal Shelter staff reunite lost pets with their owners, provide care for injured animals and license pets residing in Fremont. Animal Services Officers respond to animal-related calls for service from citizens of the City of Fremont.
