Due to an abundance of dogs, cats and other animals, OC Animal Care will immediately begin waiving fees for animals available for adoption longer than seven days. The waiver includes all regular adoption fees with the exception of a $27 charge for rabies licensing. The waiver will remain in effect through August 4 or until OC Animal Care capacity level dips below 60 percent. The Orange County Board of Supervisors approved the Fee Waiver Resolution in 2016, which calls to forego regular adoption costs when shelter capacity reaches above 80 percent. The resolution also applies when the shelter is expecting to see a sharp increase in numbers, such as the increase seen during the Fourth of July holiday. OC Animal Care has been having a busy kitten season as well and has seen an increase in overall intake numbers since moving into its new facility in Tustin. Numbers have hovered around an 80 percent capacity and have now reached over 90 percent. OC Animal Care is also encouraging animal lovers to temporarily foster a shelter pet. OC Animal Care has successfully fostered over 3500 animals and this is a great opportunity to save lives and give a little personal time and attention to these animals before they make their adoption debut!

Due to an abundance of dogs, cats and other animals, OC Animal Care will begin waiving fees for pets adopted by residents across Orange County. The waiver includes all regular adoption fees with the exception of a $27 charge for rabies licensing and will begin on June 29. The waiver will remain in effect until the capacity at the shelter drops below 60 percent. The Orange County Board of Supervisors approved the Fee Waiver Resolution in 2016, which calls to forego regular adoption costs when shelter capacity reaches above 80 percent. The resolution also applies when the shelter is expecting to see a sharp increase in numbers such as that during the Fourth of July holiday. OC Animal Care has been dealing with a busy kitten season and has seen an increase in overall intake numbers since moving into its new facility in Tustin. Numbers have hovered around an 80 percent capacity and have now reached 93 percent. The shelter has recently been promoting adoptions to help lower the numbers by offering free cat adoptions through the "Cool Cats of Summer" promotion and free pitbull or pitbull mix adoptions through the "Pit Pit Hooray" promotion. OC Animal Care is also encouraging animal lovers to temporarily foster a shelter pet to help ease the load during the Fourth of July holiday. The days surrounding this holiday have historically been the busiest days for OC Animal Care, with intake numbers more than doubling due to escaped and lost, frightened pets. To protect pets who may get lost, OC Animal Care is offering free pet tags every Saturday in June, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1630 Victory Road, Tustin 92782. "It’s important that pet owners know that a tag or microchip can be their pet’s ticket home" said OC Animal Care Interim Director Cymantha Atkinson.

Body On Saturday, June 16, OC Animal Care attended the 2018 Truck Adventures at the OC Fair Grounds and the event was a huge success! We would like to give a special thank you to the hard work and dedication from our awesome Animal Control Officer team! Sergeant Alexandra Su and Animal Control Officers Edwin Espino, Adrianna Franco and Jessica Suggett had a great time meeting families in the community and showing them how OC Animal Care helps animals in need. Kids had a blast checking out the trucks, wrangling snakes, catching alligators and fishing for ducks! OC Animal Care loves reaching out and being a resource for the community that they serve. Attending events such as the Truck Adventures helps staff reach out and connect with the public. If you are interested in having OC Animal Care come out to a community event, please call (714)796-6426. Links in this section relate to Body

As we work to prevent further exposure, cat adoptions will continue at the shelter. All potential adopters will be counseled in the potential exposure to the virus as well as the signs to watch for. As with standard adoptions, we encourage our adopters to return within the first seven days if they have any medical concerns about their animals. For cats, during this period, that window will be extended to 14 days.

Our focus is containment of exposure and diligence in best practices to rid the shelter of this virus as quickly as possible.

As always, we appreciate the commitment and support of our community. Our team is working diligently on behalf of these and all animals in our care.
