When the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) was formed in 1937, stray dogs running throughout the community posed not only a significant risk to the public, but a danger to the animal as well. Dogs were often hit by cars, involved in territorial disputes with one another, transmitted disease, and/or were mistreated by uncaring people.
Today, DACC has evolved with our thriving County, providing protection to both animals and people, in addition to many other services.
