Role & Mission
The Animal Care and Control Department protects and promotes public safety and animal care through sheltering, pet placement programs, education, and animal law enforcement.
Services
Field services are provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each of the six shelters operated by the department has a veterinary medical clinic where all adopted animals are spayed or neutered prior to placement. Low-cost vaccination services are provided at the clinics, as well as through community outreach programs at various locations throughout the County.
The Department enforces state animal laws, as well as Title 10 (Animals) of the County Code. Enforcement actions include reducing the number of stray animals, licensing animal establishments, enforcing laws regarding vicious or dangerous animals, ensuring the humane treatment of animals, and licensing domestic dogs and cats to protect public health from rabies exposure. The Department provides rescue operations for animals trapped in dangerous settings or during emergency response, including fires, earthquakes and other natural disasters.
