Urgent Los Angeles Animals...saving pound puppies and caged kitties

Our Featured Pet...

This is Roper, he was rescued from Los Angeles North Central Shelter and is now in his forever home, Roper is special needs. Our vet thinks he is a distemper surviver. This means his coordination is sometimes a little off. He runs and plays like other kitties. Uses the litter box just fine and is an absolute lover.
Roper is special in that he is more suspectible to illnesses, catches a URI, so he couldn't be in a household with lots of sick cats coming and going. Roper in now in his ideal home with another cat and a super easygoing dog.
Roper doesn't have a normal fear of dogs or anything for that matter. If he wants to walk from point A to point B and if there is a big dog in the way he won't walk around the dog, he will try to walk through, under or over the dog. He is very curious like all kittens and loves to play with toys and other cats.
Roper is a shoulder jumper, loves to sit on shoulders. He will jump on your shoulder if you are wearing a sweatshirt or a tanktop. Roper was lucky, he found a wonderful couple who are understanding, loving adopters who realizes Roper doesn't know he is scratching you and doesn't mean to hurt you. He also can't learn not to jump on you. Roper is like a gifted child, he takes extra loving and understanding. He is also like a gifted child in that he loves deeply.
Besides Roper we really can't pick just one Featured Pet! We love and want to save all of the kittens, young cats, old cats, puppies, big dogs, little dogs and every animal in the high volume shelters of Los Angeles needing a new home.

Please click here for LA animals website then click on photo of one of the Shelters - North Central, South LA and East Valley have the most animals in need. We send you to the Lost & Found pages because these animals are available now or will be in a few days and then out of time soon thereafter.

Who We Are

Our group's goal is to save sweet, adoptable pets from the high volume shelters of Los Angeles. As many as can be saved we place into foster homes and keep them safe and happy until they are adopted into permananet homes.
You can help by going to the City and County Shelters in Los Angeles and adopting a new member for your family. Shelter animals know when they have been given a second chance and are forever grateful.
You can help by getting all the animals you know (yours, your neightbors, the strays...) fixed so no extra kittens and puppies are born. Even a puppy that you know you can find a home for takes one home away from a shelter puppy.
You can also help by fostering or donating to help pay shelter fees and vet bills if you aren't in a position to adopt.
Our long term goal is to see Los Angeles a no-kill city with free spay/neuter readily available. Our goal is to alter at least 70% of all cats and dogs in areas with a high number of free roaming animals.
I am looking for funding to support a program we call "Pay-to-Spay". We want to pay any individual $5 per cat or dog they bring into designated vets or to readily available spaymobiles or transport vans for a FREE spay/neuter. All animals, ferals, strays or their own--no restrictions (other than health of the animal) on who can & cannot get altered. If this is a program you can support please contact us at: Pay-to-Spay Program.

Adopting a friend

We wish in a perfect world all animals would have a home and those that don't would be "free to a good home". Unfortunately we have to pay shelter fees to rescue animals, pay vets, pay for food... so when you adopt from us we ask a donation to cover our costs.
All of our animals are spay/neutered, current on their shots, dewormed, microchipped and come with a free vet visit and insurance.
