Supervisor Barger’s Pet of the Week ProgramEach Tuesday at the County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors meeting, Supervisor Kathryn Barger highlights an animal/s in need of a home from one of the Department of Animal Care and Control’s (DACC) seven animal care centers.
To date, thousands of pets have been placed into wonderful new homes thanks to this special program including dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, rabbits, and a guinea pig. If you are interested in adopting a pet you saw featured at this week’s County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors meeting, please call us at 562-728-4610.
DACC and ABC 7 Eyewitness News have teamed up to promote pet adoptions. This special adoption program features a DACC pet during a live newscast. Animals are showcased every third Thursday of each month during the 11:00 a.m. newscast. Viewers can learn more about the animal and call the DACC number provided if you are interested in adopting the featured pet.
The program continues to successfully help more pets from DACC animal care centers find new and loving homes.
DACC regularly participates in mobile pet adoptions where we bring some of our wonderful animal care center pets into the community!
These offsite adoptions help us place more animals into new homes by showcasing our animals in a more relaxed and comfortable setting. All animals that are taken to the offsite events are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and vaccinated.

Closer to Home TransportsDACC regularly partners with organizations to transport adoptable animals to other pre-approved animal shelters that have available space and resources to rehome them. By partnering with these trusted organizations, DACC animals have additional opportunities for adoption and the animal care center can focus its limited resources on the animals remaining in its care.
Dogs have been transported to: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New York, Oregon, Utah, Virginia, and Washington.
An adoption partner is a qualified rescue group or animal welfare organization who can partner with the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control. DACC works with more than 350 Adoption Partners (APs) who help us place animals into forever homes. Our APs help us by taking in animals who, often, have special needs or require extensive medical care. Our APs rehabilitate these animals and prepare them for their forever homes.
DACC welcomes applications for the Adoption Partner program. If you are interested in partnering with the Department, please visit our Adoption Partner page to review the requirements and download the application.
