~ Today, City Manager Tom Modica announced the forthcoming departure of Animal Care Services Bureau Manager Staycee Dains, who joined the City of Long Beach in February 2019. During her time with the City of Long Beach, Ms. Dains has been instrumental in leading the development of Long Beach Animal Care Services' (LBACS) "Compassion Saves" operating model and its first ever Strategic Plan.
Modica praised Dains for her work, saying "Staycee has been a phenomenal advocate for our animals here in Long Beach and for our community and partners. Her knowledge, creativity and passion have been a huge asset for the City. Although she will be missed, she has set us up for success well into the future."
Under Dains' leadership, LBACS reached its highest adoption rate ever in 2022, placing 1,968 pets into homes and increasing placement of animals by 194% since 2018. The live release rate was also raised to 89% (from 70%) and reached a high of 97% in a single year. Additionally, she reorganized the shelter to ensure fulltime staffing for animal care, adoptions and animal control to improve employee retention and overall bureau efficiency while revitalizing community engagement through off site adoption events and other educational events.
