Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation

THE ANIMAL CARE FOUNDATION ("ACF") ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING MILESTONES, ALL MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF THOUSANDS OF DONORS:1. ADOPTION PROGRAM: THROUGH THE ACF'S ADOPTION PROMOTION PROGRAM, WE WERE ABLE TO REDUCE ADOPTION FEES FOR VARIOUS PROMOTIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WHICH DIRECTLY LED TO THE ADOPTION OF DOGS AND CATS.2. REUNITING PETS: THE ACF FACILITATED THE REUNION OF PETS WITH THEIR FAMILIES BY LOWERING THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RECLAIMING LOST PETS. MANY PET OWNERS STRUGGLETO AFFORD THE FEES FOR RECLAIMING THEIR BELOVED PETS, BUT THE ACF OFFERS FINANCIALASSISTANCE TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THESE COSTS AND ELIMINATE BARRIERS TO PETOWNERSHIP.3. MOBILE VETERINARY CLINICS: THE ACF ALLOCATED FUNDS TO STAFF MOBILE VETERINARY CLINICS THAT BRING ESSENTIAL PET SERVICES DIRECTLY TO PET OWNERS AT PARKS AND EVENT SITES. THESE SERVICES INCLUDE PET FOOD AND SUPPLIES, VET CARE, AND VACCINES.4. CARE VOUCHERS: THE ACF PROVIDED CARE VOUCHERS TO PET OWNERS IN NEED OF ESSENTIAL PET RESOURCES, SUCH AS PET FOOD OR VETERINARY CARE. WITHOUT THIS ASSISTANCE, MANY OF THESE PET OWNERS WOULD HAVE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SURRENDER THEIR PETS TO AN ANIMAL CARE CENTER.5. SPAY/NEUTER INITIATIVE: In 2023, ACF allocated $250,000 to support free and low cost spay and neuter for owned cats and dogs in Los Angeles County. The majority of these services were provided by non-profit partners, Spay4LA and Simi Valley Nonprofit Spay/Neuter Clinic, who conducts these surgeries via their mobile clinics.
