The centers will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays as of Aug. 1 -- increasing from 23 hours per week to 36, a 56% boost. There will be no public viewing on Sundays, but DACC will continue to admit stray animals and reunite lost pets with their families. "Expanding our hours for public access to our animals will enable more time for people to look for potential new family members or search for their lost pets," DACC Director Marcia Mayeda said in a statement.
"We have developed this new schedule so we can provide the greatest access for the public while working within our budgetary limitations." During the pandemic, the agency had cut back visiting hours and implemented an appointment system.
