Kitten season is here!!! Visit us on Facebook @ County of Los Angeles Palmdale Animal Care Center to check out DACC's new video to learn what to do if you find a kitten-(s).

***UPDATE ADOPTED***** Meet Bailey!!! Bailey is a 2Y spayed Siberian Husky. She is a little shy at first but warms up quickly. Bailey would do best in a home with no other dogs. If you are interested in meeting Bailey please contact the Palmdale Care Center.

Join us June 5-7 for our first ever ASPCA promoted virtual adoption event. Find all of our available animals awaiting adoption on our facebook and instagram pages. Appointments will be needed for adoptions. !

Adopted!❤️🐾

Her name fits...
•
Shyla is one shy kitty.
•
An unhappy girl when she arrived with her two 2 week old kittens (since adopted), humans were definitely not on her top 10 list. She spent weeks in foster care with Volunteer Susan who brought her to a new level of understanding that humans bring good things like food and water. Now back at the Care Center Shyla has since graduated to accepting human touch as long as the movements towards her are slow giving her a chance to engage at her speed.
•
We are looking for a very cat savvy family who can give 2 year old Shyla the time she needs to continue to blossom. She is available to meet by appointment at the Agoura Animal Care Center!❤️🐾

Want to help but not sure how? In addition to encouraging your working-from-home friends to adopt we also have a need for masks! These masks are being asked of for our veterinary staff who do daily exams, wellness checks, and spay/neuter surgeries to prepare animals for adoption. Links to patterns are in the comments; masks will be gladly received at any LA County Animal Care Center as well as our administration office in Long Beach.

For Immediate Release
March 16, 2020

NOTICE: CHANGES IN SERVICE BY ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL
Following the increased and overwhelming concerns regarding the COVID-19 virus, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (Department) has decided to close all Los Angeles County Animal Care Centers (ACC) to the public beginning Monday, March 16, 2020. Animal control officers will continue to respond to animal welfare and public safety calls. Certain services will be made available by appointment only. We value the health and safety of our residents, their pets, the animals in our care, and our employees, and hold these health considerations at the forefront of all operational decisions.
During this time, service changes will include:
 Pet adoptions will be by appointment only. Please call your ACC at the phone number located below.
 If you believe your pet is being cared for at an Animal Care Center, please call to schedule an appointment to bring your pet home.
 Owner surrenders will not be received until further notice.
 We encourage those who have lost or found pets to download the SHADOW app—which can also be accessed on our website—and, if possible, to foster those pets temporarily.
 The Department will not be accepting stray, healthy cats, but any sick or injured cats can still be brought into the ACCs by appointment.
 Our Animal Control Officers will continue to respond to public safety and animal welfare calls such as dangerous dogs, sick/ill animals, police assistance, animal cruelty investigations, patrols, and dead animal reports.
 Less urgent calls will be deferred until further notice.
 We ask the public to renew pet licenses by mail or online by going to our website. Pet licenses will not be sold at the animal care centers at this time. Pet owners will be given a 30-day grace period for late license submittal.
During this closure, the health and safety of the animals in our care remains our top priority. Please know that during this time, no animals will be euthanized unless they are irremediably suffering, dangerous, or unable to eat without assistance.
We commit to updating our communications as conditions change.
