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.

The SAVE Program

Thanks to a special new program entitled SAVE, all adoptable dogs and puppies in the six Los Angeles County Animal Shelters now cost only $37 to adopt. All adoptable cats and kittens cost $32 to adopt. The only other charge is the mandatory license fee if the person resides in an area serviced by the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control. All animals MUST be spayed or neutered and microchipped before being adopted. The program is limited to the adoption of one pet.

SAVE is proudly sponsored by The Animal Care Foundation.
