At the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC), we are dedicated to advancing the well-being of animals and people throughout our community. We strive to protect lives through compassionate care, effective intervention, and a deep commitment to the human-animal bond.
As one of the largest and most progressive animal control agencies in the United States, we serve unincorporated Los Angeles County and numerous contract cities with a mission-driven approach. Our Castaic Care Center is proud to be a vital part of this network, providing essential services to our neighbors and their beloved pets across diverse landscapes.
We have adopted the philosophy of Socially Conscious Animal Sheltering to ensure every animal receives the respect and care they deserve. This model allows us to prioritize animal comfort and public safety while maximizing positive outcomes, ensuring that healthy, safe animals are always available for loving homes. From medical exams and vaccinations to daily enrichment programs, we provide a holistic environment designed to help our animals thrive while they wait for their new families.
Adopting an animal is a joyful journey, and our team is here to ensure you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. We believe that thoughtful placements lead to successful, lifelong partnerships, and we are committed to supporting you every step of the way with resources and care. When you choose to adopt, you are not just bringing home a pet—you are giving a deserving animal a second chance at happiness.
We invite you to come meet the wonderful, unique animals currently waiting in our care to find their forever homes. Please visit our Ready to Go Home page to view available pets, or drop by our Castaic location during business hours to begin your adoption journey. We look forward to helping you fill your life with joy!
