Animal licensing amnesty period

by •

In an effort to help pet owners during these difficult economic times, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) is initiating an animal licensing amnesty period.

From Aug. 1 through Oct. 31, DACC and 18 partner cities, including Palmdale, will waive late fees for residents renewing or buying a new license for their dog or cat. The move is aimed at helping pet owners who may have put off paying for their required annual pet licenses and incurred late fees.

Residents can to check to see if their pet’s license is current by accessing their pet’s records on the DACC website at https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/. They can also call the department’s licensing division at 562-345-0400 to inquire or email  licensing@animalcare.lacounty.gov.

All unincorporated Los Angeles County areas are participating in the animal licensing amnesty period. The 18 participating cities are:

  • Agoura Hills
  • Artesia
  • Azusa
  • Bell
  • Hawaiian Gardens
  • Hidden Hills
  • Inglewood
  • Irwindale
  • La Habra Heights
  • Maywood
  • Monterey Park
  • Palmdale
  • Rancho Palos Verdes
  • Rolling Hills Estates
  • San Fernando
  • Santa Clarita
  • West Covina
  • West Hollywood

    • Wow – you do realize LANCASTER and PALMDALE and the COUNTY AREA OF THE AV is governed by REPUBLICANS. Thanks for admitting they can’t govern to satisfy you.

        • Barger. While decisions by the BoS apply to the entire county, implementation does go through the member elected for the district. In many ways the district rep on the BoS serves as ‘the mayor’ for townships in the unincorporated parts of the county. That’s why almost all county programs and services are directed the least into the AV, where by most measures they are needed the most.

  2. As long as our government allows undocumented immigrants to enter United States illegally my dog will remain unlicensed and undocumented.

    • Since your dog is undocumented, you should get free food and medical care for the dog, no questions asked.

      • Here’s a thought since you think it is such a great life…just burn all your documents. If you get rid of everything then you won’t have to admit you were born here and you can get all the great benefits that you imagine you are being denied. Let us know how that works out for you.

        • “Interesting demonstration that you can’t read, or at the very least didn’t.”

        • Boy, you really got a hard-on for Tim, huh? I have a feeling he will turn his attention to you real soon, like the Eye of Sauron, lol.

      • “Since your dog is undocumented, you should get free food and medical care for the dog, no questions asked.”

        LOLOL. Good one. Laugh so we don’t cry!

        • Real humor contains grains of truth. Propaganda disguised as humor replaces the grains of truth with references to lies that have been told so often that the ignorant have accepted them.

          • No, that’s my commentary on why the ‘satire’ from what was most likely you isn’t genuine humor; because it is based on lies so only strikes as funny to people living in the same web of lies as you.

          • So we’re not being invaded by millions of disease-ridden illegal aliens, terrorists and cartel smugglers of people and drugs at our open, bleeding Southern Border? So Mark Kelly isn’t advocating building Trump’s wall to stem the invasion cause his Democratic voters and citizens are freaking out? So sleepy, creepy Joe isn’t building more wall cause even that imbecile realizes it’s out of control? So Newsom isn’t using our tax dollars to give illegals free benefits and medical care?

            Democrats can’t deflect, weasel, and lie their way out of this one. You guys will own it come November.

          • No America’s…
            Everything Tim doesn’t agree with is automatically labeled a lie, even though it isn’t.

    • Another Antelope Valley genius. I know some people out here a functional, rational brain, somewhere, except wherever this person is.
