Animal Control Sweeping SGV, Penalizing Pet Owners

Animal control officers are sweeping the area and will penalize owners whose pets are not fixed or current on vaccinations and licenses.

Starting immediately county animal control officers will be sweeping the San Gabriel Valley, checking to make sure that all pets have been spayed or neutered and have current vaccinations and licenses, according to a release in the San Gabriel Valley Business Journal.

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control, officers will be working near Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia and San Gabriel. State laws requires that all dogs and cats over the age of four months be vaccinated against rabies and be licensed.

Individuals not in compliance face license fees and delinquency charges, including a $40 field enforcement fee.
