County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control

The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control is one of the largest and most progressive animal control agencies in the United States. Our six animal care centers serve unincorporated Los Angeles County and 49 contract cities with a combined total population of over 3 million residents. We provide animal control and rescue services in our service areas 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control relies on volunteer support from the community to provide additional public service and animal care programs that are vital to a healthy community. We are currently in need of committed volunteers, able to make a 12 month or more commitment to help care for cats, dogs and critters and provide great customer service to our visitors. If you have a love for animals and have a minimum of eight hours a month to donate your time, please consider becoming a volunteer in one of our six animal care centers. To volunteer, click here.
