Animal Care | City of Garden Grove

6/26/2025 - 03:00 PM

The 4th of July season is upon us, please keep all pets home and indoors on the 4th of July and surrounding days to help keep pets out of the shelter. Make sure all dogs have up-to-date identification on their collars or are microchipped! Animal Control Officers will try to return dogs to their homes with proper identification if found. Please make sure pets are kept in a safe, secure environment, as fireworks, gatherings, and loud unfamiliar places can frighten your pet with a risk of it running away. Make sure all gates are securely locked and doors are properly shut if enjoying the festivities outside.

The RTF program will be closed from July 1st, through July 9th and will resume normal operations Tuesday July 15th. For any question and details regarding our Return to Field program, please refer to our RTF website page, or call our main line 714-741-5565 and press 1 to speak to an operator.

All animal field and licensing services are provided by the City of Garden Grove under Garden Grove Animal Care Services.
