The City of Laguna Hills is excited to announce a new partnership with the City of Mission Viejo to provide excellent, high quality animal care and sheltering services, which will begin on January 1, 2017. Mission Viejo Animal Services provides a pro-humane animal shelter, 24-hour response to emergency calls, pet adoption, low cost vaccination clinics, animal licensing, volunteer opportunities, community outreach and events, and many other important services. Additionally, Mission Viejo Animal Services works closely with a non-profit organization, Dedicated Animal Welfare Group (DAWG), which raises money to pay for extraordinary medical expenses for animals in jeopardy of euthanasia and training for new pet owners.
