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.

Here are some of the highlights of our web site. If you can't readily find the information you seek, please click the "contact us" tab on the menu at the left of page for a full list of contacts by phone, email and U. S. Mail.

We are still adding content to the site. Please bear with us. If you don't find what you need, please email us. Suggestions and comments are always welcome.

If you have lost your animal we will make every effort to reunite you with your pet. The Animal Care Services Bureau has teamed with the largest pet adoption and recovery provider on the Internet: Petfinder.com. View the animals currently being held in our kennel that have been rescued from the streets.

Bixby Knolls Neignborhood Designated Wildlife Watch Area
Due to recent reports of increasingly aggressive coyote behavior, the Department of Fish & Game has recommended that neighborhoods in the 90807 zip code take additional actions to prevent human-wildlife conflict. Animal Control Officers have already increased patrols in the morning and evening when coyotes are most active and will be following-up with residents reporting incidents where coyotes have approached adults in an aggressive manner or approached areas where children were present. Your help is needed to keep pets indoors and to remove attractants that draw coyotes to the area.
