La Habra Police Department Animal Control

La Habra Police Department's Animal Control division handles field calls for stray and injured animals, animal bites, barking complaints and leash law violations within the city. Its officers also enforce anti-cruelty rules, investigating reports of abuse, neglect or abandonment, and help get veterinary care for injured animals. Shelter services are provided under a contract with Inland Valley Humane Society.

Field officers work seven days a week during daytime hours, with 24-hour service for emergencies such as injured strays or aggressive animals running at large. Dog licenses are required for dogs four months and older with a current rabies vaccination. Applications can be handed in at the police department front counter, mailed in, or renewed online through the city payment portal. Altered pets and residents 62 and older qualify for license discounts.
