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.

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.

Here at OC Animal Care, we are fortunate enough to receive so many great donations from the public and our partners. Bae Gives Back works to not only supply the public and their pets with dog supplies, but they also make a donation to our shelter with each purchase as well! Bae Gives Back thought of this wonderful idea after adopting one of our Shih Tzu’s, Teddy, from our previous location in Orange. They noticed Teddy looked chilly in his kennel and though he, and all of the other dogs, would benefit from having nice, warm blankets, so Bae Gives Back was born! Thanks to programs like Bae Gives Back, OC Animal Care is provided with fabulous donations that the staff and animals are incredibly thankful for.

Most people look forward to Friday because the weekend, but in OC Animal Care’s case, it was the excitement of the Amazon Treasure Truck coming by! Although the Amazon Treasure Truck usually sells featured products, this special stop was to make a donation. Amazon partnered with the Purina Company and they had 1,500 cans of wet cat food, 250 cans of wet dog food, and 100 bags of treats, all of which they delivered to OC Animal Care. This donation is extremely appreciated by our staff and of course, the animals! Thank you to the Amazon Treasure Truck for recognizing the work being done at OC Animal Shelter and for a great way to start Friday! If you haven’t already, please check out the shelter’s Amazon wish list at http://a.co/b7s2NTt.

On Friday May 25, some residents reported a sick or injured baby owl on a path in the neighborhood. The path was filled with trees and adult birds hiding among them. The reporting party was advised it was most likely a healthy fledgling and to leave it be, however, an officer would be sent out to double check. Officer Natalizio reported to the location and once finding the bird, found it to be a baby raptor, possibly a hawk, not a baby owl.To be 100% sure if it was healthy and able to be left alone, Officer Natalizio took it to a doctor for further examination. The baby raptor was determined to be healthy and was returned to the wild near where it was found off the ground in a box. Thank you Officer Natalizio for your thoroughness and to the residents as well! We are thankful for our team and people in the community who care for animals as much as we do!

OC Animal Care had a special adoption event honoring and thanking our service men and women on Memorial Day weekend. On May 25-27, anyone who currently served or was serving in the military, as well as their family members, were given the chance to adopt free of charge, not including the cost of licensing! A total of 21 furry friends found loving home with military families. OC Animal Care is grateful to have the opportunity to thank the people who protect our country by offering free adoptions for animals that will provide love and comfort. Special thank you to Animals for Armed Forces for sponsoring this adoption event.

Our Animal Control Officers do amazing work everyday but today we would like to share 2017 Animal Control Officer of the Year Sergeant Su (left) and Animal Control Officer of the Quarter Officer Natalizio (right)! These two individuals were nominated by their peers. Thank you for all that you do and making a difference!
