Last Friday, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the closure of North Central and West Valley animal shelters after a massive transfer into foster homes of sheltered animals.

When shelter officials got busy creating shelter space as the pandemic worsened in March, 2,232 animals were divided and moved into foster homes. Some were reunited with their owners and some of the animals will be moved to one of the other four shelter facilities (East Valley, Harbor, Chesterfield Square, or West Los Angeles) for pandemic protection.

“In order to continue providing excellent care for our City’s animals during the COVID-19 crisis and safety precautions for our employees, beginning on Monday, April 13th, the LA Animal Services department (LAAS) will close its West Valley and North Central Animal Services Centers,” Garcetti said.
