Organizations Filed Purposes:
Our mission is to rescue pets that have been impounded at Los Angeles County's 35 overcrowded public shelters - providing proper care, shelter, and then placement. We also provide pet owners with alternatives when they think they have no other option than surrendering their pet to the shelter.
Rescued dogs, cats, and horses who would otherwise be euthanized in public shelters. Caring for them at our West Los Angeles Halfway Home Kennel and our Canyon Country, St. Bonnie's Sanctuary until we find them new loving forever homes. Rescue 339 impounded pets in 2019.
Concentrated on pets who had no possible way to be adopted from the shelters as they needed urgent medical care because they were suffering from injuries received through trauma or abuse. 92 injured pets were rescued in 2019.
Contracted 5 years ago with L.A. County Animal Control to conduct a Safety Net Program within the overcrowded Palmdale and Lancaster Shelters. Our staff worked inside these shelters interviewing owners who felt they had no other alternative other than surrendering their pets, even though they were desperate to keep them in the home where they were loved. Provided medical care including emergency surgeries, training, food, supplies, temporary boarding to 1,822 pets. This program also included an Antelope Valley spay/neuter program. Three years ago we also contracted to help the L.A. County Homeless Initiative to help look after the pets of the homeless by providing medical care, food and grooming.
