Seaaca (southeast Area Animal Control Authority)

About

In October of 1975 the cities of Downey, Norwalk and Pico Rivera signed a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) establishing the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA). SEAACA was formed to improve the level of service, care for animals and humane education provided by private and public animal welfare agencies in the region. Because of the efforts for the original three cities and the positive service to both animals and residents, other neighboring cities began requesting SEAACA extend services to their cities. In 1984, Bell Gardens, Montebello, and Paramount joined SEAACA as member cities. In 1987 South El Monte and in 1988 Santa Fe Springs also joined SEAACA. In addition to these member cities, SEAACA currently extends contract services to the cities of Bellflower, Buena Park, La Palma, Lakewood, South Gate and Vernon. SEAACA currently serves approximately 900,000 residents in fourteen cities. SEAACA is an independent unit of government (Joint Powers Authority) governed by a policy board (Board of Commissioners). SEAACA has an Executive Director as its chief administrative officer who carries out policies and oversees day-to-day operations of the agency. SEAACA’s philosophy is to approach to animal welfare from the perspective of the owner of the pet in the context of all components of Responsible Pet Ownership; provide compassionate sheltering at the Care Center for animals found without their owners; provide Veterinarian services for Care Center animals and low-cost vaccinations for all animals in the region; plus respond to related public safety issues facing our animals and communities

Adoption process

Adding a new member to your family by adopting a pet from SEAACA's Animal Care Center is an exciting time. Adopting a pet is a 'Companion for Life' and should not be taken lightly. We at SEAACA want to work with you to help you make the right choice for your new family member. The adoption process begins at 12:00 p.m. If you have a specific pet you are interested in, make sure to arrive around 11:45 a.m. on the day it becomes available to fill out the adoption application. Please present your check-in slip to one of our Customer Service Representatives in the front office. An approved adoption application is required along with a proper identification before any adoption can take place. Several forms, including the application will be given to you to complete after you have found a pet you may want to adopt. Allow extra time for the adoption process. A short interview with the adoption counselor may be required before any adoption is approved. There are times that adoptions are denied for various reasons. SEAACA tries to ensure both the new pet and the new owners are compatible. SEAACA's adoption fees for dogs and cats include spaying and neutering (8 weeks & up), vaccination and permanent-ID microchip. Rabbits are also spayed or neutered for their well-being and best behavior.
