Welcome to the Village: Home of Long Beach Animal Care Services
The Bureau of Animal Care Services is charged with protecting the animals that share our city. We ensure the welfare of all pets, companion animals and wild animals. We provide adoption services, return animals to their owners whenever possible and provide animal owners with good advice on how best to care for their animal throughout the year.
