Officials with the Los Angeles County Animal Care & Control are asking pet owners who intend to surrender their pets to delay doing so in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

“We encourage those who have lost or found pets to download the SHADOW app which can be accessed on our website and if possible to foster those pets temporarily,” the department posted on their website.

“Additionally, those who wish to surrender stray, healthy cats are asked to release them where they were trapped and bring them in after the public health recommendation for social distancing is removed.”

For emergency purposes Animal Control officers will be able to respond to public safety and urgent animal welfare issues.

There is no evidence that the coronavirus can be transmitted by family pets, but it is recommended that pet owners exercise good judgment.

“Dogs and cats have their own Coronavirus that is NOT the same virus as COVID-19,” veterinarians have stated.

For the immediate future, pet licenses will not be sold at animal care centers. To renew a pet license, please go online or use the mail. Pet owners will be given a 30-day grace period for submitting a license late.

In Los Angeles County, there have been 54 coronavirus cases bringing the total to nearly 300 in California as of Saturday.
