La Quinta Animal Control offers a low-cost vaccination clinic each April and October. Bring your pets and get them vaccinated and meet our Animal Control Officers. You will also have an opportunity to get a new or renewed dog license at the event.
The City of La Quinta contracts with the Coachella Valley Animal Campus for shelter services. If you have lost your pet, are looking to adopt a pet, or want information on the spay/neuter voucher program, contact them at (760) 343-3644.
A number of local resource agencies are available to answer your wild and domesticated animal questions.

DID YOU KNOW?
Three California laws took effect January 1, 2007 that benefit animals:
1. Dogs cannot be tethered to a stationary object for more than three hours during a 24-hour period. If tethered, the dog still must have a good range of motion.
2. Pets cannot be left in vehicles in a dangerous situation whether from the heat or the cold. Animal control officers are now permitted to break into a vehicle to rescue at-risk animals after trying to locate the owner. Dogs tied in the back of pickups in extreme hot or cold weather are also covered under the new law.
3. Felony-level jail time now applies for animal fighting convictions.
