ACCs Now Closed to Public

Animal Care Centers Close for Public Viewing; Continue to Provide Essential Services

Effective today, all Los Angeles County Animal Care Centers (ACCs) will be closed to the public due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This decision was made in consultation with public health officials and is in line with the County's efforts to slow the spread of the virus. Despite the closure, the ACCs will continue to provide essential services to protect animal and public safety, including:

• Admitting stray animals
• Reuniting lost pets
• Providing emergency veterinary care

While the ACCs are closed to the public, residents can still access their services by calling the Communication Center at (562) 940-6898 or visiting the website at animalcare.lacounty.gov.

The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) is one of the largest and most progressive animal control agencies in the United States. The DACC is committed to providing quality care and services to the animals and residents of Los Angeles County.

Conclusion:

While it may be disappointing for some, the ACCs' closure to the public is a necessary step to protect the health of the community. The DACC will continue to provide essential services to animals in need and ensure their safety and well-being during this challenging time.
