La County Animal Shelter operates as part of the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control, serving the Carson/Gardena area in Gardena, California, about 15 miles north of Los Angeles. This care center is one of seven operated across Los Angeles County, offering pet adoptions, licensing, spay/neuter services, microchipping, vaccinations, and neighborhood field services, and it is supported by the Los Angeles County Animal Care Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that funds medical care, behavior and enrichment programs, and disaster response for animals. The shelter is open Monday through Thursday from 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm and Friday through Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. It shares Los Angeles County with 124 other animal shelters and rescue organizations in our database, and it welcomes community members to view adoptable animals, foster, volunteer, or report cases of animal cruelty and neglect.
