Immediate Animal Placement Services

The County of Mariposa, California, is seeking immediate animal placement services to manage animals transferred from county animal control. The agency requires a partner to accept these animals within specified timelines and provide humane housing, enrichment, feeding, and daily care. This partner must also ensure all animals receive appropriate veterinary evaluation and treatment as needed. The selected partner will assume full responsibility for fostering, rehabilitation, and adoption placement, actively engaging in adoption programs to ensure timely outcomes. The agency requires compliance with all federal, state, and local laws, as well as adherence to the Association of Shelter Veterinarians' guidelines for standards of care. Additionally, the partner must work cooperatively with rescue organizations, humane societies, and other placement partners to maximize adoption outcomes for unclaimed adoptable animals. The agency limits eligibility to onshore providers located in the United States, and the performance of the work must take place onsite. Bidders must submit questions no later than July 06, 2026, and can submit their final proposals digitally via email or online. The agency is looking for proposal submissions to determine the budget and intends to award a contract for a period of one year.
