CDOC provides books and pamplets with the latest information on statistics and programs that, is adopted, can ensure that no healthy adoptable animals need to be killed in California.

We have a huge problem with not getting lost dogs back to the owners. These are not strays; they are simply lost. With a focus by animal control on licensing and identification, instead of MSN, we can virtually empty our animal shelters and increase operating income for animal control.
