Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) officers will be in Baldwin Park to check for current rabies vaccinations, ensuring residents are in compliance with licensing requirements as well as the mandatory spay/neuter and microchip ordinance.
State law requires rabies vaccinations and licenses for all dogs and cats over the age of 4 months. Securing a dog or cat license is an important part of identification and can assist animal control agencies if your pet becomes lost.
All pet owners are advised to be in compliance with licensing and the mandatory spay/neuter and microchip ordinance if they reside in any unincorporated area of Los Angeles County (or contract city that has adopted the County’s ordinance).
Anyone not in compliance will be subject to license fees and delinquency charges, including a $40 field enforcement fee, to offset the cost of the department’s field services. In order to avoid penalties, be sure to license your pet. You can secure a new animal license by printing the application online at http://animalcare.lacounty.gov, or visiting your local county animal care center. If your license is not delinquent, you can also renew it online.
DACC offers low cost vaccination clinics and low cost assistance (for individuals who qualify) for spay and neuter surgeries. You can visit the website or stop by your local county animal care center for more information about these services.
The Baldwin Park Animal Care Center is located at 4275 Elton Street in Baldwin Park.
