Torrance Animal Control 2200 Jefferson Street, Torrance, CA 90501

"Today, I called & left a message regarding my 'stray cat' that has been missing since July 4, 2024. Within 25 minutes, Officer Laplante returned the call & explained the problems of identifying dead animals they pick up. He was very polite & empathetic. Thank you, Officer Laplante!"

"I am not surprised they have 2 stars. I need to know what their duties are. My dogs are attacked by three Akita dogs on 8/5/2024 before 8 AM at the Columbia Park and I had absolutely no support from the animal control. They told me that nobody can help me and even police won’t help because it is a civil matter. They hung up the phone when I asked their department duties and said I am not the only unhappy per owner who contacts them. I was informed to take it to the city and complain. Full of negative attitude and no sympathy from the “ANIMAL” control. I am a very frustrated and disappointed pet owner right now. My dog has 4 broken ribs and severely bruised lung and a bite wound on her abdomen and currently hospitalized. Torrance animal control must do better than this."

"Animal control entered our backyard without asking to come in. Didn't even knock at our front door... just walked right into our backyard while I was feeding my baby. He was also quite rude about it too. Is this even legal??"

"Have tried calling for a few weeks to report a dog in our neighbor. Left multiple messages and have not received any callbacks."

"Called to report a barking dog, they gave me Victors number the supervisor, he still hasn't called me back or done anything about the barking dog, no tickets or anything. I've been complaining for over a year now and this animal control hasn't done a damn thing. 0 stars if I could because they don't care."
