Unincorporated Areas of Altadena and La Crescenta to Receive Animal Services from Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA

The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA is excited to announce that as of December 1 it will provide animal control and sheltering services to the unincorporated areas of Altadena and La Crescenta-Montrose. We look forward to providing dedicated care and resources to the incoming animals and believe this new partnership will help us save more lives in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

The County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) will be contracting with Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA (PHS) to provide animal control and sheltering services to the unincorporated areas of Altadena and La Crescenta-Montrose. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors authorized DACC Director Marcia Mayeda to enter into an agreement with PHS for animal care and control services in the unincorporated areas of Altadena and La Crescenta-Montrose to receive animal services from PHS.

The agreement goes into effect on Dec. 1, 2016, and will allow for PHS to respond to animal service inquiries within the unincorporated areas of Altadena and La Crescenta-Montrose that DACC had previously provided.

“This public-private partnership will improve animal control services to these unincorporated communities as PHS works extensively in those areas,” said DACC Director Marcia Mayeda. “Their animal shelter is better located to serve residents and animals, which will make it easier to reunite lost pets with their owners, a goal we all share.”

“PHS is pleased to extend ourselves to our neighboring communities and will ensure proactive services for animals and people,” said PHS President/CEO Julie Bank.

PHS is located on 361 S. Raymond Avenue in the City of Pasadena. They can be reached at 626.792.7151. For more information on PHS, please visit pasadenahumane.org
