The National Animal Care & Control Association (NACA) is a professional training and coaching organization founded in 1978 to support animal care and control professionals across the United States. Based in Murrieta, California, it serves a workforce focused on animal welfare duties such as saving pets, enforcing laws, educating communities, disaster response, and assisting with wildlife and exotic species, in addition to cats and dogs. NACA provides standardized training and guidance intended to strengthen the effectiveness and safety of animal control work, promoting a community policing approach to address root causes of cruelty, neglect, and public safety concerns. The association emphasizes core values such as professionalism, leadership, integrity, and compassion, and supports its members through resources and tools to perform their roles responsibly.

In recent years, NACA has pursued collaborative initiatives and partnerships to advance its field forward, including initiatives with organizations like the Hawaiian Humane Society and projects that expand mental health support for officers. Its activities position it as a leading voice in the professional development of animal care and control practitioners within the broader welfare and public safety landscape.
