Direct phone numbers, physical addresses, and hours for every LA County Animal Care and Control shelter — plus city-operated agencies for areas not served by the county.
An official animal control report creates the documentary foundation of your legal case. It triggers a formal investigation, documents the dog’s bite history, may result in a dangerous dog designation, and creates public records your attorney can subpoena. Filing is free and takes under 10 minutes.
Step 1: Report Filed
DACC assigns an animal control officer to your case within 24–48 hours.
Step 2: Officer Investigation
Officer contacts the dog owner, verifies vaccination status, reviews the dog’s DACC history.
Step 3: Dog History Review
DACC checks for prior bite reports, dangerous dog hearings, and prior violations on the animal.
Step 4: Quarantine if Necessary
Unvaccinated dogs may be quarantined. You are notified of results.
Step 5: Dangerous Dog Hearing
If warranted, a formal dangerous dog designation hearing is scheduled — this designation strengthens your civil case significantly.
