Officers from the Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) will be Windsor Hills\/View Park beginning\u00a0August 14 2013, checking for current rabies vaccinations, ensuring residents are in compliance with licensing requirements as well as the mandatory spay\/neuter and microchip ordinance.\u00a0California State law requires that all dogs and cats over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and be licensed. Securing a dog or cat license is an important part of identification and can assist animal control agencies if your pet becomes lost.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s 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\u2019s field services.<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to avoid penalties, be sure to license your pet. You can secure a new animal license by printing the application online\u00a0athttp:\/\/animalcare.lacounty.gov<\/a> DACC offers low cost vaccination\/microchips clinics (microchips are now $15, which includes AVID registration) and low cost assistance (for individuals who qualify) for spay and neuter surgeries. Please visit http:\/\/animalcare.lacounty.gov<\/a>\u00a0or stop by your local County animal care center for more information about these services.<\/p>\n Information courtesy\u00a0Evelina Villa\u00a0(562) 256-1364<\/a>\u00a0and Erin Stennis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Animal Care and Control (DACC) will be in View Park starting August 14th to check for current rabies vaccinations, ensuring residents are in compliance with licensing requirements, as well as the mandatory spay & neuter and microchip ordinance.
