Irvine Animal Care Center Consultation
The following document serves as a summary of findings from a limited onsite
consultation conducted at the Irvine Animal Care Center on December 15th and December
16th 2014, by Dr. Jyothi Robertson of JVR Shelter Strategies, LLC and Dr. Chumkee
Aziz of the UC-Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program. It also includes limited
recommendations from a site visit conducted by Megan Webb from February 12th to
February 14th, 2015.

research in the field of shelter medicine. It is important for management to understand
that shelter medicine is a growing discipline that is developing new research daily.
Policies and procedures should be continuously evaluated in the context of IACC’s
population data to assure that practices adopted are creating a positive impact and
increasing the number of lives saved while working within the “care-ing capacity” of the
organization. This document does not examine population data or statistical analysis of
the shelter population. This document should be viewed as a dynamic report that will
require ongoing evaluation based on what is most current in the field.

This document outlines the procedure for tracking and collecting debts created by returned check payments received by the OC Animal Care Field Services Operations and Business Licensing Departments. When a check is returned unpaid, designated staff will update the original receipt in Chameleon to reflect the unpaid amount, create a new balance receipt, and record the returned item in the OC Animal Care Returned Items Tracking Spreadsheet for monitoring. Staff will also take additional steps like adding non-payment fees or changing permit statuses as needed depending on the specific situation. The goal is to accurately track returned payments and ensure collection of outstanding balances.
The document establishes procedures for completing and distributing a Radio Journal by the Dispatch Services Operator (DSO) and Graveyard Shift Officer (GSO) at OC Animal Care. The Radio Journal is used to record non-routine events, those requiring additional resources, and items of public or media interest handled by each shift. At the end of each shift, the DSO and GSO are to email the Radio Journal to designated recipients, file the original, and maintain a copy on a clipboard for the month. Certain categories of notable activities are outlined as appropriate to include in the Radio Journal.
This document establishes procedures for completing a Kennel Window in the Chameleon database for every animal impounded by the County of Orange Animal Care Services. It provides detailed instructions on filling in over 30 fields in the Kennel Window, including animal identification information, intake details, status, location, and outcome. Completing the Kennel Window accurately with all available information helps the public locate lost animals and ensures proper tracking of impounded animals.
This document establishes a uniform procedure for issuing desk citations by animal control officers at OC Animal Care. It outlines the process where an officer can initiate a citation for a violation when the citizen is not present, but their animal has been impounded. It describes completing certain fields on the citation and supplemental report, getting supervisor approval, and then having the operations desk sergeant or their designee issue the citation to the owner when they come to redeem their animal. The desk citation is intended for use in situations where compliance with laws was previously unsuccessful or directed by supervision. It provides examples of when a desk citation is warranted, such as repeat stray incidents or animals on public property like schools.
The document outlines procedures for testing an animal's brain for rabies using the Fluorescent Rabies Antibody (FRA) method in Orange County, California. Key steps include:
1) Animal control officers submit bite reports and initiate testing for animals that bite or are suspected of having rabies.
2) Veterinarians determine if testing is required and technicians prepare brain specimens.
3) The rabies control desk prioritizes testing and submits specimens to the public health lab.
4) Lab results are reported, positive results require immediate notification while negative results are mailed to the victim.
This document establishes procedures for processing animals under quarantine at the OC Animal Care facility. It outlines how to enter animal records into the database correctly and ensure approvals are in place prior to releasing quarantined animals.

Staff must follow the steps for notifying owners, creating records, and obtaining necessary approvals before adopting out or releasing any quarantined animals.
This document establishes a uniform procedure for reviewing and resolving customer complaints regarding fees charged or paid. It outlines the steps staff should take to thoroughly research complaints by checking records in the Chameleon database and backup files. Late fees may be waived if certain criteria are met. All decisions and communications must be documented in the database. Refund requests are forwarded to a specialist and Auditor notifications are made for any invoice modifications.
This document outlines the procedure for verifying owner information and notifying owners when their animal is impounded at the Orange County Animal Care Center. It details how staff should check for identification like tags, microchips, and licenses to find owner details. It also describes the process for notifying owners by phone and mail within 12 hours, including updating notes on contact attempts and sending form letters. The goal is to inform owners of their animal's location and last day to redeem them before the animal becomes county property.
This document outlines the protocol for determining if an impounded stray cat should be classified as "feral" by the Orange County Animal Care Services. It describes tests to evaluate a cat's temperament and socialization to humans, including observing its behavior when approached or handled by people. Evidence of defensive or aggressive behavior like lunging, scratching or biting would indicate an unsocialized or feral cat. Veterinary staff make the final determination and record feral cat assessments in animal treatment records.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins in the brain which elevate mood and reduce stress levels.
200.22 monitoring airborne contaminants with the use of the drager accuro gas...No Kill Shelter Alliance
This document provides guidelines for using a Drager Accuro Gas Detector Pump to monitor airborne ammonia levels when responding to animal hoarding or other situations with large animal waste accumulations. Senior animal control officers trained in the pump's use will take readings to determine respiratory protection required for safety. Readings above 100 ppm require increased ventilation or HAZMAT assistance, while levels between 25-35 ppm allow limited exposure time. Proper documentation and safety precautions are outlined.
This document provides guidelines for using the Person ID Window in the Chameleon Animal Management System. It describes how to log in, search for existing records, create new records, and update person records.

Procedures are provided for populating all fields in the Person ID like name, address, phone number, and setting special flags.
700.19 inventory of controlled and non controlled clinic and surgery suppliesNo Kill Shelter Alliance
This document outlines inventory procedures for controlled and non-controlled supplies at an animal care clinic. Registered veterinary technicians are responsible for performing weekly inventory checks and maintaining adequate stock levels. Controlled drugs must be securely stored and strict logs must be kept of receipts, daily use, and monthly full inventories, with quarterly reporting to administrative management to ensure regulatory compliance.
Saskia Boisot, founder of NKSA, criticizes the killing of dog A1441672 at OCAC despite many dogs being adopted at a recent event. Boisot argues OCAC inaccurately labels dogs as aggressive and unsuitable for adoption. Additionally, Supervisor Bartlett has personally rescued dogs labeled incorrectly by OCAC as showing aggression. Despite evidence provided by NKSA of issues at OCAC, the organization continues to kill animals while having almost 200 empty kennels. Boisot calls for a moratorium on empty cage killing at OCAC as the only meaningful change that will engage the community and shift the shelter's paradigm.

Dr. Saskia Boisot represents the No Kill Shelter Alliance and is concerned about the high kill rates at many Southern California animal shelters, particularly in Orange County. She has observed unhealthy and adoptable dogs being inappropriately labeled for killing at one Orange County shelter. There is no regulation or accountability of shelter operations, and the last inspection was in 2008. The doctor calls for a radical shift, including restructuring shelter administration and establishing an independent oversight committee approved by the No Kill Shelter Alliance.
Original email thread with jvr shelter strategies and email to city managers ...No Kill Shelter Alliance
Original 2015 email thread regarding OCAC with JVR Shelter Strategies, and forwarded to all city managers, mayors, and city council members from every city contracting with OCAC.
This document is a settlement agreement between Sharon Logan, Paw Protectors Inc. and Orange County Animal Care regarding a lawsuit concerning OCAC's animal impoundment policies and practices. Key terms of the settlement include: 1) OCAC will not euthanize animals within statutory holding periods except under specific circumstances; 2) OCAC will release stray animals to rescue groups prior to euthanasia under certain conditions; and 3) OCAC will amend some of its policies per the parties' agreement. The agreement also establishes procedures for Plaintiffs to review OCAC records regarding euthanized animals and allows the court to retain jurisdiction to enforce the settlement until October 2017.
Granulation tissue, edema, hairs, blood vessels, reactive fibroblasts, angiogenesis, necrosis, acute inflammation, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, and endothelial cells were observed in the histology of soft tissue surrounding a shotgun slug. The final diagnosis was of a foreign body consistent with a shotgun wad and rubber bullet embedded in ulcerated skin with granulation tissue and inflammation. The gun was likely fired at close range using a homemade shotgun slug.
This document summarizes statistics on dogs and cats euthanized at the OCAC animal shelter from October 2015 to September 2017. It finds that 58% of dogs were euthanized on the same day as intake, with a median time of 0 days. 73% of cats in the ORE (Owner Requested Euthanasia) category were euthanized within 1 hour of intake. Pit bulls made up the largest breed of dogs euthanized at 429 animals. Medical issues and behavioral problems were common reasons for euthanasia of both dogs and cats.
This document establishes the procedure for Orange County Animal Care to receive animals that are surrendered by their owners. It outlines policies for accepting animals for placement or euthanasia. Animals surrendered for euthanasia must be deemed by a veterinarian as suffering from an irremediable medical condition or be potentially dangerous. Animals surrendered for placement will be evaluated for adoption candidacy. Owners must provide identification and pay applicable fees, and complete necessary forms to surrender an animal.
This document is a memorandum of points and authorities in support of a motion to enforce a settlement agreement between Sharon Logan, Paw Protectors Inc. and Orange County Animal Care regarding the euthanasia of animals. It argues that Orange County Animal Care has failed to comply with both the Hayden Act and the revised policies and procedures agreed to in the settlement agreement by continuing to euthanize animals without proper independent corroboration. It requests that the court enforce the settlement agreement or extend the date to allow the parties to engage in further discussions as outlined in the agreement. Statistical analysis found issues such as 63% of owner requested euthanasia of dogs occurring within an hour of intake and the most common breeds euthan
This email thread discusses several dogs at the OC Animal Care shelter that need to be rescued immediately or they will be euthanized. Tammy from the shelter initially emails Rachel from BFF Pet Rescue about 6 dogs needing rescue, including Pudge and Roman who need a commitment that day or will be euthanized. Rachel asks for more information on the dogs. Tammy provides more details but says Pudge and Roman have already been euthanized. They discuss two other dogs, Dee Dee and Onyx, that still need rescue. Rachel offers to help save lives at the shelter.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The letter responds to a Public Records Act request regarding records for a dog named Marley. It provides responsive records with some information redacted that is exempt from release under relevant sections of the California Government and Health and Safety Codes. The redactions include personal contact information to protect public safety.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already have a condition.
