In a display of community spirit, Animal Services Commissioner Alison McBeth-Featherstone, shelter volunteers Danielle Howard and Debra Vigna, and Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson’s team spearheaded a monumental clean-up operation at the Chesterfield Square Animal Shelter on Sunday, Oct. 1.
Los Angeles’ six city-run animal shelters are closed to the public for the rest of the month due to the coronavirus, along with all L.A. County shelters.
“In alignment with the city of Los Angeles’ activation of emergency operations related to COVID-19, effective immediately, all six Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) centers and the administrative office will be closed to the public through March 31, unless rescinded earlier or extended further,” staff announced Monday night. “Be assured that we will have staff available to feed, clean, and provide enrichment for the animals in our care. Our animal control officers will respond to emergency calls such as dangerous dogs, animal
cruelty, and humane calls.”
