Overview
- County officials executed an investigative/inspection warrant at Linda Blair’s 2.5-acre Los Angeles County property on July 31 to examine buildings and structures tied to a reported kennel operation.
- The joint operation involved the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control and the Department of Regional Planning, with multiple outlets reporting additional participation by district attorney investigators.
- Authorities say the kennel permits for the facility expired in 2023 and that county agencies made several attempts to contact the owner before seeking the warrant.
- Media counts of animals on site vary from reports of more than 100 up to about 200 dogs, officials said no animals were removed during the inspection, and Blair was present and cooperative.
- Blair, who runs the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation, called the visit a paperwork issue and said she plans to move to expand educational rescue work, while the county has not announced any citations and the probe remains active.
