Animal Control More than Just Cats and Dogs |
Dogs and cats come to mind when most of us think of animal control services, but the San Bernardino County Animal Care and Control Division (ACC) certainly isn’t bound by that stereotype.
In addition to taking in thousands of stray and abandoned cats and dogs last year, ACC also provided shelter to 231 other animals including 52 horses, 13 turtles, three snakes, an emu, five peafowl, two parrots, 12 pigs, three sheep, and dozens of other non-canine, non-feline animals.

Rancho Business Sparked Popular TV Show |
A heart-wrenching scene Cory Chalmers witnessed while working as a paramedic in 1995 led to the creation of a now-thriving Rancho Cucamonga-based business and to the production of a television show that sparked a national discussion about compulsive hoarding.
Chalmers had considered starting a business focused on cleaning homes soiled by gruesome illnesses, accidents or deaths because he’d encountered quite a few as a paramedic and he always worried about how the cleanups would affect already distraught families.
Then a suicide call changed everything.

Volunteers Bring Historic Home to Life |
A historic Rancho Cucamonga home would have fallen to a bulldozer’s blade in the 1970s if it hadn’t been for volunteers dedicated to preserving the century-old home for the community to enjoy.
“History in a book is just words,” said Kathy Holguin, who serves as Chair of Las Guias—a branch of a volunteer group formed to support the John Rains House. “When you see the inside of this house, you get an idea of what it was really like back then.”
