Company Profile for Irvine Animal Care Center
(BUSINESS WIRE) - The Irvine Animal Care Center is the largest pro-humane animal shelter
in Orange County which receives nearly 4,000 animals each year. The
shelter is situated on a beautiful five acre facility that looks more
like a park than an animal shelter. The IACC prides itself on mimicking
a family life for the shelter pets that are temporarily in our care.
Each pet enjoys a daily routine of having playtime in the dog exercise
yards or the cat socialization rooms with their friends, going for walks
with dedicated volunteers (or receive socialization from volunteers),
and receiving high quality pet food from Science Diet. The shelter is
also home to 14 farm yard animals including two goats, three pigs, and
nine chickens. The farm yard animals were used for humane education and
are now being pampered in their retirement.
The shelter's innovative programs have not only helped to educate the
community about the needs of homeless, abandoned, and abused pets but
has also saved thousands of lives through our 3rd Chance for Pets
program and adoption events. The shelter's 3rd Chance program transfers
happy and healthy pets whose time is running out at animal shelters to
the Irvine Shelter for another opportunity at finding their loving and
permanent home. The success of the shelter can also be measured by the
number of animals that they receive that are reunited with their
original owners: 43% of all dogs that enter the shelter are returned to
their original owners (national average is 15%) and 5% of all cats that
enter the shelter are returned to their original owners (national
average is 2.5%). 90% of all animals that enter the shelter are adopted
into new and loving homes or returned to their original owners.
