Coyotes are incredibly smart, but they can become "habituated" to humans if we aren't proactive. When they lose their natural fear of people, it creates risks for our pets and the wildlife alike.

The solution? Hazing. Hazing is a simple method of using noise and movement to remind coyotes that humans are unpredictable and should be avoided. To help do your part…

Why a cowbell?

🔊 Loud & Distinctive: It’s a sound they aren’t used to.
🐕 Hands-Free Safety: Easy to carry while holding a leash.
🛑 Clear Signal: It tells coyotes to keep their distance immediately.
How to get yours:

📍 Where: The San Clemente – Dana Point Animal Shelter | 221 Avenida Fabricante - 92672

⏰ When: Tuesday – Sunday | 10 AM – 4 PM

Let’s work together to keep San Clemente & Dana Point neighborhoods safe and our wildlife wild. Stop by and grab your safety bell today!

⚠️ Disclaimer: The distribution of cowbells is intended to assist in coyote hazing efforts and promote community awareness. While hazing is an effective deterrent, it does not guarantee a coyote’s behavior or your absolute safety. Please remain vigilant, keep pets on short leashes, and never leave food outdoors. Use these tools responsibly and at your own discretion.

At the end of January Coastal Animal Services Authority received a call of an injured rabbit in a Dana Point apartment complex. Animal Rescue Technician Lindwall responded and was able to catch and contain a juvenile Cottontail rabbit who was injured.

The Animal Services Department responds to more injured animal type calls than you would figure. Being a coastal town, officers respond to both land and sea animals, including birds, canines, felines, mammals and reptiles alike!

This rabbit was taken to a local veterinarian office and received treatment for its injuries.

If you come across an injured animal, please notify the San Clemente Dana Point Animal Shelter at 949-492-1617, (Tuesday-Sunday 10-4pm), or after hours call Orange County Sheriff Non-Emergency Dispatch at 949-770-6011.
