Los Angeles County Pet Adoption Programs

Board of Supervisors Pet Adoption Program

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Pet Adoption Program, was started in December of 1995.

Each Tuesday at the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Meeting, Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich highlights an animal in need of a home from one of Los Angeles County’s six Animal Care Centers. Information is provided about the animal, including the sex, breed and age and a telephone number is given so that anyone interested in adopting the animal can call to obtain more information. View the Los Angeles County Board Meetings live broadcast.

To date, more than 500 dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, rabbits and a guinea pig have been placed into wonderful new homes thanks to this special program. This special program has a 100% placement rate.

Many employees from Los Angeles County have adopted pets through this special program.
