Council Accepts Donation of New City Animal Shelter
For the first time in Newport Beach ’ s history , the City has a permanent municipal animal shelter .
The City Council on Tuesday , Nov . 29 , formally accepted the donation of a newly constructed animal shelter from Friends of Newport Beach Animal Shelter ( FONBAS ), a local nonprofit organization .
Over the past several years , FON- BAS has raised about $ 3 million in private donations to purchase property at 20282 Riverside Dr . and construct a new animal care and shelter facility . Under the donation agreement , the City of Newport Beach will now manage , operate and maintain the shelter .
For decades , the City contracted with private companies to provide veterinary care and shelter services for stray and abandoned animals . In 2015 , the Police Department began managing operations at a temporary shelter , and in 2017 , FONBAS became the officially recognized nonprofit to assist with shelter activities and raise funds for capital projects .
