On Wednesday the Department of Animal Care and Control  announced that the Castaic Animal Care Center (ACC)  has officially reopened  its doors to the community after a temporary closure due to the recent Hughes Fire on Wednesday Jan. 22. 

The ACC  is now fully operational and ready to provide essential services to our beloved pets and their families, according to officials. 

The Hughes Fire posed a significant threat to the Castaic ACC, prompting its evacuation  to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, and the animals. 

The Castaic ACC is grateful for the swift response from firefighters and emergency services, whose efforts contained the fire and protected the facility, added officials. 

As of Monday Feb. 3, the Castaic ACC is back to providing a full range of services, including pet adoptions, owner redemptions, licensing, and more. 

The Castaic ACC is committed to supporting the well-being of our animals and the communities they serve.

“We are thrilled to welcome everyone back to the Castaic Animal Care Center,” said DACC Director Marcia Mayeda. “Our team has worked diligently to ensure that the facility is safe for our furry friends and their families. We appreciate the community’s support and patience during this challenging time.”

The Castaic ACC invites  community members to visit us and take advantage of our services. Our dedicated staff is eager to assist with pet adoptions and other animal care needs.
