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.
