About Harbor Animal Care Center - Los Angeles Animal Services

The new 76,000 sq. ft. Harbor Animal Shelter, opened in June 2008, is the Harbor's newest safe haven for lost companion animals and those looking for new homes. Lush with planters and trees, the Harbor Animal Shelter features 79 dog kennels and 72 cat cages filled with companion animals just waiting to be adopted. There are also specially designed community cat rooms, get acquainted yards for dogs and adopters to meet, special areas for rabbits and exotic animals, and a large grassy field for companion animal training. This shelter is filled with companion animals who desperately need safe and loving homes, fosters and volunteers.

We envision the day when every pet born is ensured a good home and care all its natural life and no animal will suffer because of abuse, neglect or ignorance, and all citizens, their property and neighborhoods are safe from the dangers and nuisances of irresponsible pet guardianship.

We create happiness by bringing pets and people together. Saving animals' lives is our first priority.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in San Pedro, CA.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
