The Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 that supports the Los Angeles
Our Foundation administers various programs that directly benefit animals in Los Angeles County communities. This includes:
Dreams Come True Fund makes dreams come true by providing the required funds for special medical procedures and needs for pets at the Department of Animal Care and Control. Grooming Gives Hope program provides funding to help dogs that require professional grooming receive t
he grooming that they need. Not only does it increase the comfort of animals who may be badly in need of grooming, but the grooming makes the dog more visually appealing, therefore increasing its adoptability. Noah’s Legacy Fund was established to provide for the needs of pets that are left behind or otherwise separated from their human families in major disasters and to support the Department’s emergency-response efforts that are so critical to the communities we serve as we continue to respond to the wildfires, flooding, and earthquakes that can occur here.
Today we were honored to have representatives from the City of Baldwin Park visit our County of Los Angeles - Baldwin Park Animal Care Center to discuss ways in which the city and DACC can partner to help pets and residents of Baldwin Park. We love cities who join us in our efforts to improve conditions for animals and the people who care about them!
Happy Doggie Day!
It was great to get together with our administrative staff today to share DACC updates at the monthly meeting. These folks keep the department running with their dedicated support for important functions like IT, human resources, budget, fiscal, contracts, grants, data analytics, purchasing, facility maintenance, public records, secretarial, and so much more! We couldn't do it without you guys! Maybe someone can tell me how to get everyone in the picture next time 😆
Very excited to welcome our new Manager of Behavior and Enrichment, Thomas Kalinowski! Our BET division makes adoption placement recommendations to ensure good matches for new adopters and our animals, and provides behavioral enrichment for animals in our care He is Freya- and Holly-approved 😀
Do you know who owns your pet's veterinary practice?
When I was in high school l had the great opportunity to work for my town’s local veterinarian. I cleaned cages, cared for the hospitalized animals, and assisted the veterinarian when he needed an extra pair of hands. It was a great learning experience and introduction to the field of veterinary m...
Thank you Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell for supporting the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control Carson Animal Care Center for the kick off of !!
Carson Animal Care Center Sgt. Paul Webb has been on the DACC team for 42 YEARS!! We are grateful for his dedication to our mission. He's a great cook and lives to spoil his two little dogs. County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control
Enjoyed my time at the County of Los Angeles Palmdale Animal Care Center today! Office manager Brenda Beougher is also a unicorn fan 🦄 🦄 🦄!! Our Behavior and Enrichment team was working with a very scared dog, who made good progress when I was there. Cpl. Matthew Davoodzadeh rescued four dogs from a negletful situation and Sgt. Rachel Montez-Kemp made sure they got the TLC they needed at the ACC. Then I rode with him where he did a great job handling a complicated dog bite case. It's always so rewarding to see the great work done by our compassionate team!
Thank you Supervisor Kathryn Barger for your ongoing support of our County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control!!
This is "Clear the Shelters PSA 2024" by Kathryn Barger on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
In the past five years, DACC has admitted more than 1,200 injured or ill raptors. We are grateful to County of Los Angeles Department of Parks & Recreation and director Norma Edith García-González for their compassionate leadership in identifying the need for additional raptor rehabilitation resources in Los Angeles County! Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Supervisor Kathryn Barger, County of Los Angeles Department of Parks & RecreationSan Dimas Nature Center will now have expanded capacity to admit and rehabilitate more owls, hawks, and falcons than ever before! Today I was thrilled to be part of the grand opening ceremony, where Supervisor Kathryn Barger released a hawk back into the wild.

We wanted to provide an update on Argon the Wonderdog!
After surviving a horrific animal cruelty crime where he was zip-tied and dumped in Malibu Canyon, Argon was discovered by a group of rock climbers who gained his trust and called for help from Lost Hills Sheriff's Station and LA County DACC.
Sadly, we also learned that Argon was facing a silent foe, Lymphoma, and a long road of healing and recovery.
That’s where German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County stepped in. German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County is a trusted Adoption Partner of ours, and we knew they would be able to give him the extensive care he needs and the love he deserves.
We want to thank everyone for rooting for Argon just as much as we have. We have certainly been moved by his sweet and gentle nature in the face of unimaginable evil. Thank you to everyone for your support. You can donate to the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation to support animals like Argon who are in need and who will be in need at lacountyanimals.org/give

On June 1, 2024, the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) held its first-ever California Adopt-a-Pet Day, organized by the California Animal Welfare Association, San Francisco SPCA, and the ASPCA. More than 150 animal shelters and organizations throughout California participated in this groundbreaking event, with the ASPCA generously covering adoption fees for participating shelters, ensuring the adoption process was accessible to all.
DACC successfully found homes for 120 dogs, 49 cats, two rabbits, and one guinea pig on this remarkable day! The goal is to make this an annual event and find homes for even more animals next year.

It's time for our SPRING BABY SHOWER where every donation you make will be DOUBLED, up to $15,000! That means this during our baby shower your generosity will have TWICE the impact, allowing us to provide twice as much love and hope to these adorable puppies and kittens.
Each year during puppy and kitten season, we welcome countless newborns into our care centers who find themselves without a home. These little ones require round-the-clock care, including nourishing food, essential medical attention, and ensuring they are spayed or neutered as we work tirelessly to find them loving forever homes.
Please help these adorable animals find love and hope. Visit https://bit.ly/4cTMYhl to help now.

Incredible #beforeandafter photos showing how much of a difference the Foundation’s Grooming Gives Hope program can make. 🙌 🚨Many dogs arrive at Los Angeles County animal care centers with badly matted fur. Oftentimes these conditions cause underlying medical problems and severe pain for the dog. Dogs in this condition are usually dull and depressed from the pain caused by the matting, and do not engage with potential adopters. ❤️ Through the Grooming Gives Hope program, funded by your generous donations, the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation pays for professional grooming services to restore their health. 🐾 After grooming, the dogs become more exuberant and happy, as well as more visually appealing, and become much more likely to find a forever home.

Starting your week off with a smile. We love a pittie rescue story! ❤️ Repost from @thedodo • Pittie rescued from the side of the road got 11 new dog siblings — watch how he won over @fatcatharvey 💛 #pitbullsofinstagram #pitbulllove #animalrescue #rescuedog #losangelescounty #savetheanimals #doglover #mondaymood #lacountyanimalcareandcontrol #emptytheshelters
Kitten season is in full swing! 🐾 Kitten season is a seasonal increase in kittens being born in the community. This typically starts in early Spring and lasts into Fall/Winter. (It can vary in length depending on your local climate. Milder climates like ours have a very long kitten season!) The Foundation purchases foster care supplies for unweaned kittens who arrive at our County animal care centers without mothers. These supplies consist of milk replacement formula and other neonatal supplies. They are issued to foster caregiver volunteers who raise these babies until they are old enough to return to an animal care center for adoption. We're so grateful for your donations that allow us to help our LA County animal care centers. ❤️ 📍If you've found kittens in your community and aren't sure what to do, check out the Kitten Season Resources button at the link in our bio.
Donating a car, boat or other vehicle can be a great way to help the Foundation raise funds to help the animals in our care. Click on the link below for more information.
Remember Shy George? We posted him a couple of weeks ago to thank you all for donating to the Foundation so that we can provide funding for surgeries like the one George needed. Here’s how he’s doing now. ❤️ Repost from @agouraanimalslaco • If you needed a little smile today - this is George #A5447871 playing with Sarah #A5458382 and Rosemary #A5453132. George came to us terrified with horrible entropian and could barely see. He was scared of people and dogs. Since @lacountyanimalcarefoundation funded his much needed eye surgery, and our volunteers and staff working tirelessly, George has done almost a 180°. He’s still shy and can be distant from new people but overall, he’s a completely different dog. And this video is proof. We are so happy to share his milestones with you ♥️ All three dogs are available for adoption 🥳 Click their animal ID # for more information! Please self schedule an appointment: ⭐️ On Instagram click in our bio on *link tree*-then adoption appointments, scroll down to Agoura ⭐️ On Facebook click on https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/all-visits-to-the-animal-care-center-are-by-appointment-only/ ⭐️ Or for more information email [email protected] ❤️🐾 . . If you cannot adopt, here are other ways you can you help: ✅ Share with your friends & family, far & wide! ✅Like, Comment & Tag people & rescues (the more comments and tags the more this post will be seen). When you adopt a dog you're not only saving that life, but the life of a dog who will take their open kennel. ✨ #AdoptDontShop #AdoptMe #AgouraAnimalCareCenter #Animals #Dogs #Dogsofinstagram #RescueDogs #DogOfTheDay #RescueDogsOfInstagram #AgouraHills #Malibu #LosAngeles #LACounty #ThousandOaks #WestlakeVillage #ShelterDogs #SecondChances #Adopt #LACountyAdoptableDogs #AdoptAShelterDog #DogsOfCalifornia #ShelterDog #DailyBarker #DogsOfInstaworld #AgouraAnimalCareCenter
How cute are these little rascals playing in their “catio” at our Castaic Animal Care Center? These little habitats are set up so that the cats can exercise, play, come out of their shells, and have more exposure for adoption. Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to fund this project and others like it for our Los Angeles County animal care centers. Thank you!! 🐾❤️ @castaicanimalslaco
Cats at Castaic are having a great time in the new Catio, donated by the LA County Animal Care Foundation!
