About The Improve OCAS Movement

Welcome to The Improve OCAS Movement! We are a passionate coalition of animal rights advocates dedicated to bettering the lives of animals within the Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) system. With years of witnessing the challenges faced by our furry friends, we are urging local officials to take significant actions toward the betterment of the OCAS Division and the shelter environment they reside in.

Our Advocacy Pillars:

  1. Shelter Infrastructure Improvements: We believe in the potential of affordable yet impactful solutions. Improving the existing infrastructure, such as efficient air-conditioning, installing kennel separators, soundproofing spaces, and expanding overflow capacities, can be game-changers for the animals’ well-being.
  2. Increased Transparency within the OCAS System: Knowledge is power. By providing clear insights into medical cases, behavioral concerns, euthanasia statistics, and granting more access to data and public records, we aim to empower the community. With a transparent view of OCAS’s workings, we can collaboratively understand and address its internal challenges.
  3. Stronger Community & Rescue Engagement: It’s all hands on deck. Numerous volunteers, rescue groups, and supporters tirelessly work to facilitate adoptions. We’re championing a stronger connection between these heroes and the shelter staff to enhance communication, collaboration, and ultimately, the quality of life for the animals.

Our mission goes beyond mere advocacy; it is a call to action, to stand united, and to work collaboratively to ensure a brighter, safer future for every animal in OCAS. As you browse our site, you’ll discover news stories, reports, and testimonies spotlighting the pressing issues OCAS faces and our journey to address them.

Join us, be part of the change, and let’s make a lasting difference in the lives of our four-legged friends.
