*Culver City has adopted LA County’s Spay/Neuter Ordinance which requires all residents to have their dogs spayed or neutered and have an identification microchip implanted in each dog. This ordinance was passed to promote and protect public safety from the threats presented by stray dogs, as well as to reduce the number of dogs flooding our animal shelters that are subsequently euthanized.
Exemptions from the spay/neuter requirement may be requested if alteration would pose a danger to the dog’s health due to age or infirmity, if the dog is being used by a law enforcement agency, if the dog is a service animal assisting a disabled person, or if the dog is a qualifying competition dog. Please see Required Paperwork for information about how to request an unaltered dog license for one of these cases.
