洛杉矶县11月12日起上门查宠物牌照：罗兰岗、核桃市、西科汶纳在列
家里养狗养猫的居民注意了：美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县动物护理与控制部宣布，自11月12日（周四）起，该部门执法人员将在县属非建制地区的多个社区开展上门宠物牌照核查，范围包括 Acton、Agua Dulce、罗兰岗（Rowland Heights）、核桃市一带（Walnut）与西科汶纳（West Covina），涉及邮编 93510、91390、91748、91789、91791、91792 等区域。
县动物护理与控制部表示，这次实地核查的目的是确保居民的犬猫符合强制牌照、绝育与植入芯片的要求。按县法规，犬只必须申领牌照并按时续期，牌照也是宠物走失后能被送回主人身边的重要凭据。
还没办牌照的居民不必等执法人员上门：可以登录县动物护理与控制部官网在线新办或续期，也可以把申请表打印邮寄，或直接到县内任一动物护理中心办理。该部门还提供低价疫苗与芯片服务，芯片植入收费7.50美元，符合条件的居民还可申请低价绝育手术补助。
洛杉矶县动物护理与控制部是全美规模最大的动物管理机构之一，运营七家动物护理中心，服务对象超过三百万居民及其宠物。该部门提醒，上门核查期间居民可要求执法人员出示证件，如有疑问可通过其官网或就近的护理中心核实。（来源：洛杉矶县动物护理与控制部）
LA County to Begin Door-to-Door Pet License Checks Nov. 12 in Rowland Heights, Walnut, West Covina
Los Angeles County pet owners should take note: the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) in California announced that its officers will begin field animal licensing efforts on Thursday, Nov. 12, in several unincorporated communities, including Acton, Agua Dulce, Rowland Heights, Walnut, and West Covina, covering ZIP codes 93510, 91390, 91748, 91789, 91791, and 91792.
The department says the door-to-door efforts are designed to ensure residents' dogs and cats are in compliance with mandatory animal licensing, spay/neuter, and microchipping requirements. County law requires dogs to be licensed and kept current, and a license is also a key way for a lost pet to be returned home.
Residents who are not yet licensed do not need to wait for an officer's visit: new licenses and renewals are available online through the department's website, by mailing a printed application, or in person at any county animal care center. DACC also offers low-cost vaccination and microchip clinics, with microchip implantation priced at $7.50, and low-cost spay/neuter assistance for qualifying residents.
DACC is one of the largest animal care and control agencies in the nation, operating seven animal care centers and serving more than three million residents and their pets. The department advises residents to ask officers for identification during the checks and to verify any questions through its website or a local care center.
