Palmer Guilty


Castaic Animal Care Center

Castaic Animal Care Center.

Recent reports of the euthanasia rate at Los Angeles County Animal Care Centers have included incorrect or misleading information.

The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control has worked diligently every year to increase the live release rate of animals.

Dog and cat live release rates must be evaluated individually and not combined as one statistic as very different factors play into the reasons why each species is brought to animal care centers and the different options available to them. The graph below shows the improvements made in increasing the live release rates at Los Angeles County Animal Care Centers. Last year the live release rates were 85.2% for dogs 68.3% for cats.

DACC continues to seek opportunities for increasing the live release rate of animals and is grateful to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for their support in pursuit of this goal.
