Animal Care and Control Announces Special Promotions for Pet Adoptions in August

The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care & Control or DACC joins NBC4 and Telemundo 52’s annual month-long Clear the Shelters™ pet adoption and donation campaign for the ninth consecutive year. The event will take place Aug. 1 to 31, when adoption fees at DACC’s seven animal care centers will be reduced to $20 for all dogs and cats. Fees include adoption, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchips. Pet licenses and spay/neuter deposits (if necessary) are not included in the promotion.

Information on all pets available for adoption, and the locations of all DACC animal care centers, is available online at animalcare.lacounty.gov.

Since its 2015 inception, Clear the Shelters has helped more than 860,000 pets find new homes. The 2022 campaign established a new single-year record with more than 161,000 adoptions, while also raising more than $540,000. Nearly 1,400 animal shelters and rescues covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam participated in last year’s campaign.

For those who cannot adopt but are still interested in participating in the campaign, the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation accepts donations to enhance the care and outcomes for animals in county-operated care centers. All donations are tax deductible and support programs like spay/neuter services, medical care, behavior and enrichment, and grooming for care center animals, Care vouchers to help pets stay with their families, and disaster response for animals in danger, among others.
