I adapted a kitten from SEACCA. 9 days later took to vet. They give a voucher for the exam, it doesn't cover any medicine. I called SEAACA, and more or less, this is what it comes to. Adapt an animal and if it's sick, take to the vet and pay yourself - after paying the 85.00 for the kitten. After talking with the lady at SEAACA, it seems if you get a defective (sick) dog or cat, you either pay to get it well, don't pay and let the animal die - SEAACA DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THE ANIMALS THEY ADAPT

well...,
We adopted a shitzu today from the downey seacca shelter. The place is utterly heartwrenching to see, and the poor dogs for the most part, seems like they are on death row, just waiting their turn. We went to this shelter three times in the past two weeks, hoping to find "the one", and finally today we did. But my heart just aches for the dogs still there. The staff is decent enough, but so overworked and most likely way underfunded, so it is not their fault. The cages don't look like they ever get cleaned and their are about 9-10 dogs in each one, just huddled together in their own waste. I cried each time i was there, caz of course i want to take them all, but can't.
The good news about this place: in the three times we were there, i saw two owners come and claim back their lost dogs! One today, in fact! very cool! And also, people do adopt there, like we have. So there is some hope for some of them.
People, GO RESCUE and Adopt These dogs!!!! if ever there was a need, it is here! and so many cute ones to choose from too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I adopted my pug Herbie the Love Pug on March 17 2009, and he is the most amazing little guy. The folks at Seacca dont have an easy job, so I give them credit for what they do. The front office staff wasa helpful and kind, and most of the attendants in the back were the same. When I first met Herbie, it was his first day at the shelter .He was terrified, surrounded by other dogs including a real hyper jack russel, and the attendant was kind, went into Herbies kennel, and rescued him from his crazy humping cell mate. I was first on the list to adopt Herbie, tho had to wait 7 days. I went to see him every day til his release, and the staff couldnt have been nicer even tho they saw me every day. Overall I was very happy with the entire process

We just adopted an amazing older dog at SEAACA! I don't usually post about places we visit but I saw a disturbing post about SEAACA and I felt I needed to share our experience there.

First off, this is the cleanest shelter around. They have the absolute nicest people working there, including some young volunteers eager to help. We looked for almost a month to find the right dog for our family and finally we came across Rex, a Boston mix who is about 6 years-old. We got to meet with him, visit daily and were the first hold on him too! There were four others after us with their name on the card and no one showed but us on his availability date, so he's ours!

I would recommened this shelter to anyone looking to bring a new pet into their lives. Never have we been treated so nicely by any staff anywhere. Nordstroms, watch out. The staff at SEAACA do it right! Thank you to everyone we came into contact with! Rex thanks you too for taking such good care of him.

my wife and I went to this location to adopt a dog on 4/28/10 and it was the worst exspirance ever. we made 3 choices our first choice was a pup they let us interact with the dog then took us to the front pulled the paper work and told us there where 8 other families interested come back on 4/29/10 if none of the other families show up the dog is yours, on our second choice we never interacted with the dog but was taken to the front were we were told there was one other family, our third choice they had no paper work on the dog at all, we interacted with the dog liked the dog and was told they needed to track the paper work down and that they would call us that afternoon and let us know. the call never came. they ran the scanner to find out if the dog had a chip it did not, i called the very next morning and was told the man i talked to was busy and had no time to answer my call. I went back on 4/30/10 to check on the pup and he was still there, i checked on the dog with no paper work he was also still there with no paper work , my wife and i went back on 5/1/10 and the pup was gone but the one i have the concern for was still there with no paper work I was told the dog had an owner if so then why have they made no attempt to at least generate paper work and post the dog on there web site i was told by one handler that the dog had been there for at least a month they have made no effort to save this dog. I have told my wife i will not give up until either the dogs owner has possesion or we have possesion of the dog. I am sorry but my wife and I feel this facility has no interest in saving dogs they are the most unprofessional group of personell a state owned and operated facility could employee I am very disappointed and hurt that our state allows this to continue, the animals in this facility have no chance of servival or adoption at all. there motto is ( at downey seacca we uthenize) I am going find someone to help change the way this facility operates on a rating from 1 to 10 a zero. we did adopt a dog from long beach facility they were very prefessional very helpful and it was a very nice exspirance.

I have to say that I found the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority (SEAACA) to be very professional. We went to 3 other local Animal Control Centers (Baldwin Park, San Gabriel Valley and Pasadena) and was very disappointed when I got there. I know that they are predominantly run by volunteer and I came in with that knowledge but I was surprised how unprofessional those who were paid staff were. I did not find that at SEAACA. You walked in and you felt you were walking in a lobby. It was very clean and organized and we had no problem finding someone to answer our questions. I acknowledge that who ever is the manager of the front area has done an exceptional job. All local animal control should come here and learn how to run a front office. I found them very friendly and professional and we had to come in multiple days with different staff. I also found that the "staging area" was very well thought our and presented. Yes I am sure they would like it bigger so that the animals could have more room but they have done a wonderful job with what they have. I felt like I was in a pet shop or a kennel and not a "doggy jail". The dogs seemed happy and the volunteers also seemed happy. That I am sure is do to a good staff and a very good executive director. We not only picked up a stray dog but 2 beautiful and loving labs. Even in the midst of a bad situation (do to human error, the dog we had adopted and fallen in love with was already promised to another by accident) the staff apologized and tried there best to make it better...and they did the best they could with a very sad situation. I appreciate the professional and caring way Michelle tried to take care of the problem (how do you consol a 4 year old who was just told her dog that you bought and named "Abbey "is no longer hers?...very bad morning) Michelle did everything she could to help fix the situation...though nothing can replace a dog you have already fallen in love with. We even visited her all week long to pet her and get her use to us since we were # 1 on the list. From what I saw at the other Animal Control centers they would not have handled it so well. In the future I will only come to the SEAACA. Even the animals were healthier looking.

These people don't care about animals and can't talk to humans. If there needs to be budget cuts, this is the place to start.
