Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation

Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation 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.

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 😆

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!

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.

Thanks to your donations, the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation sponsors similar events throughout the year by helping reduce adoption fees and purchasing supplies needed to host these special events.

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.
