If you are trying to gain access to a home to care for animals in a closed area, call the San Diego County Department of Animals Services Dispatch at (619) 236-2341.
Tell the dispatcher the following:
- Your name
- Whether you are the owner, professional pet-sitter, animal caretaker or friend
- Exact address of home
- Number and types of pets in home
- When last given fresh water/food
- If you have keys to that home
The authorities may want to meet you at the closet checkpoint to obtain the keys or may escort you in.
