Resource Guides
LA Animal Services has assembled several Resource Guides for pet owners.
We also have the People & Pets Resources Page that features information on different services available from LA Animal Services to keep pets and their families together, including how to participate in the Pet Food Pantry to get free pet food; meeting with pet intervention groups who can provide alternatives to surrendering your pet, what to do if you've lost or found pet, and getting information about partners that can help provide free or low-cost veterinary care.
There is also a free community resources site that provides lists of organizations throughout Los Angeles and their available programs and services who serve LA City residents.
