Chula Vista Animal Services on Beyer Way operates as the City's municipal unrestricted-intake shelter, processing roughly 4,000 animals per year from Chula Vista, Lemon Grove, and National City. The facility's on-site veterinary suite handles pre-adoption spay/neuter surgeries and FVRCP/DAPP vaccinations under protocols coordinated with Telegraph Canyon Animal Medical Center on Telegraph Canyon Road. A dedicated Spay Shuttle program, funded through the HEART of CVACF nonprofit (EIN 37-1522742, established 2006), delivers no-cost and reduced-cost sterilization surgeries to qualifying residents in ZIP codes 91910, 91911, 91913, and 91915. The shelter's community pet pantry distributes food and basic wellness supplies to owners facing hardship, supplementing the retail inventory at IB Pet Chula Vista for adopters outfitting new companions. Microchip implantation uses ISO 15-digit transponders scanned by universal readers, and the facility's rabies vaccination clinics administer Imrab 3 TF (thimerosal-free) doses compliant with California Health & Safety Code Section 121690.
