Inyo County Animal Services Operates Near Big Pine: Shelter Hours, Contact and Lost-Pet Guidance

BIG PINE, Inyo County — Big Pine is home to the Inyo County Animal Services facility, an important contact for residents trying to locate missing pets, ask about animal care or understand county animal-control services.

Inyo County’s official department directory places Animal Services at 1001 County Road, Big Pine, CA 93513. It lists the main number as 760-938-2715 and regular hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with Monday closed.

Finding a missing animal

Residents can call the department to ask how lost-and-found reports are handled, whether an animal matching a description has been brought in, and what documentation is needed for reclaiming a pet. A public directory does not show real-time kennel inventory, so call before driving to the facility.

Adoption, licensing and emergencies

People interested in an animal should ask about current adoption procedures, availability, fees and any required appointments. Questions about licensing, county rules or an animal-related emergency should be directed to the responsible service rather than assuming the shelter’s public opening schedule equals emergency-dispatch availability.

For immediate threats to human safety, call the appropriate emergency number. Keep pet identification current and provide an accurate description and last-seen location when requesting help.
