Fur Babies Head To New Homes From Baldwin Park Animal Care Center

BALDWIN PARK, CA —Just look at that face!

This pretty terrier will be available on July 16. Three years old and sweet as can be, she arrived there today.

With Animal ID# A5088763, you can make her stay at the Animal Care Center brief as can be.

Have you fallen for an Animal Control scam?

"The image of a sad puppy in a cage at a shelter will inspire many animal lovers to donate money toward animal shelters," Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Jessie McGrath, consumer protection advocate said in a recent Fraud Alert video. "Crooks will post pictures with false information about high kill shelters."

Consumers are often contacted by phone, snail mail, or social media sites.

The money raised by scammers doesn't go

• Verify that the organization is a legitimate 501(c)3 charitable organization.
• Double check to make sure the animal exists
• Ask the agency what help the animal needs and if it is really at risk of being put to sleep.
