The City employs three Animal Services Officers. Their job is to enforce all animal regulations in Laguna Beach and Laguna Woods. They also oversee the City's dog park, affectionately known as the "Bark Park," and assist with the rehabilitation of injured wild animals and birds.
Please note: If it rains, the dog park is generally closed during the storm and for a day or two afterwards.

It's dangerous, and depending on the situation, is against the law in Laguna Beach and the State of California. (Laguna Beach Municipal Code 6.24.090 and California Penal Code 597.7.)
