Officers from the Department of Animal Care and Control will be conducting field licensing enforcement in the unincorporated areas of Littlerock (zip code 93543) and Pearblossom (zip code 93553) beginning on Wednesday, March 11, 2015.
Field enforcement efforts are designed to ensure that residents’ dogs and cats are in compliance with licensing requirements and the mandatory spay/neuter and microchip ordinance. California State law requires that all dogs over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and be licensed.
In addition to dogs, the County of Los Angeles requires that all cats over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and licensed. Beginning January 1, 2014, puppies may be vaccinated at three months old, but still are not required to be vaccinated until four months of age. Securing a dog or cat license is essential to assisting animal control agencies if a pet becomes lost.
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). Residents 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 your pet is licensed. You can secure a new animal license by printing the application online at www.animalcare.lacounty.gov, or by visiting your local Los Angeles County animal care center. Owners of pets whose license is not delinquent can simply renew theirs at our website: www.animalcare.lacounty.gov.
DACC offers low-cost vaccination/microchips clinics (microchips are now $15, which includes an AVID registration) and low-cost assistance (for individuals who qualify) for spay and neuter surgeries. Please visit our website or stop by your local Los Angeles County animal care center for more information about these services.

Oyeeee wee Fiona fae.
I renew licenses online but don’t have receipt. Do I need it? Are they only going to houses that they know aren’t current or may have new pets?
