MEDIA ALERT: City of Los Angeles Mandatory Spay & Neuter Bill for Dogs & Cats is Now Enforceable.

The City Council of Los Angeles approved a new law requiring all dogs and cats in the city to be spayed or neutered after the age of four months, with some specific exemptions allowed. The Mayor signed the ordinance on February 26, 2008, making Los Angeles the national leader in efforts to humanely decrease the number of pets abandoned and euthanized each year.

On Thursday October 2nd at 10am, Tamar will be joining Bob Barker at a special celebrity press conference to announce the ordinance, why it is important, and what pet owners can do. The law was effective in April, but there was a grace period until October 1, 2008 for enforcement. Violations are subject to three levels of increasing fines, starting at $100, to urge compliance. After the third violation, non-compliance is a misdemeanor.
