How’d you like to spend over 500 days shut up in an enclosure, with a couple of breaks for recreation and maybe a furlough for a day on the town or a few weeks of couch surfing with a foster? Yeah, thought not. Lovely Zoey has been at Long Beach Animal Care Services for nearly a year and a half now, and while she’s made lasting friends of the volunteers and resident dogs, she misses the days of her youth when she was in an actual home. Now 6 years old, Zoey was brought to the shelter in good condition — a little hefty, even — but likely abandoned because her person never came looking for her. Zoey loves the play yard, she nuzzles affectionately with her human friends, but what she really needs is a family with a couch that she can sleep on whenever she likes for the rest of her life. The shelter’s over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt or foster Zoey or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov. You can also call (562) 570-4925. Our shelter hours are Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 7700 E. Spring St. at the entrance to El Dorado Park (no parking fee for shelter visitors. Ask for ID#A717007.

The Other Side of Memory: Photographs by Luis C. Garza on Display at the Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana
Step into the compelling photographic experience at The Other Side of Memory: Photographs by Luis C. Garza exhibit now on display at the Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana (211 W. Santa Ana Blvd.). With striking visuals of historic moments of activism and community from the 1960s and ‘70s, the nationally touring exhibition features rare black-and-white images drawn from Garza’s archive, many of which are on public view for the first time.
The captivating images in this exhibit document powerful defining moments of activism that took place on both coasts and abroad, including the Chicano civil rights movement in Los Angeles, Young Lords Party protests and feminist marches in New York and global gatherings such as the World Peace Conference in Budapest. Printed as silver gelatin fiber prints, the photographs reflect a personal visual record of resistance, identity and collective memory.
“We are very fortunate to display this special and rare collection of photos depicting pivotal historic moments for our community at the Historic Orange County Courthouse,” said Vicente Sarmiento, Orange County Board of Supervisors. “The images featured in The Other Side of Memory (El Otro Lado de La Memoria) document the significance of the Chicano civil rights movement in Southern California and beyond, capturing the spirit of activism and shedding light on the untold stories of these events.”
Garza became an indispensable chronicler of the Chicano movement for La Raza magazine, capturing intimate and unsparing moments of resistance, identity and community with uncommon immediacy. Today, his photographs can be found in major museum collections such as The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Sala de Arte Público Siqueiros (Mexico City) and The Autry Museum of the American West.
Admission to the exhibit is free and open to view at the Old Orange County Courthouse gallery Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through the end of the year. Metered parking is available at the on-site lot and surrounding street parking. Additional parking is available at lot P8 (301 W. 5th Street). Parking fees apply.
