If you Can't Adopt...You CAN still help!
In the greater Los Angeles County shelters alone an average of 475 pets are euthanized daily.
Four million cats and dogs—about one every eight seconds—are put down in U.S. shelters each year.(learn more) There just aren't enough homes for them all. Our goal is to help provide animals a second chance to a happy life and to help reduce pet overpopulation. We save dogs in need and provide them with care and foster homes while they await adoption. We carefully match these pets to new loving and responsible owners. We also try to educate the public on how to be responsible pet owners and on the importance of spaying and neutering. We believe the real solution to pet overpopulation is through spaying and neutering pets. And if you think its ok to breed your little "Fluffy" because she's a purebred, please be aware that over 25% of the animals at shelters are purebreds.

- In an effort to help people make good choices when they adopt a dog or cat, many animal welfare agencies and pet rescues provide adoption counseling to help match you up with a pet for adoption.
