All dogs and cats residing in the City of Los Angeles must be spayed or neutered unless they meet certain medical criteria, are active show or service dogs, or are licensed for breeding purposes. Stiff fines and penalties can be assessed for persistent failure to comply. If you adopted your dog or cat from an animal shelter, state law requires that they be spayed or neutered before you will be allowed to take them home unless there is a valid medical reason for delaying the surgery. Section 53.15.2 of the LAMC.
Save Lives: Support Non-Surgical Sterilization
Please sign this petition to support Non-Surgical Sterilization.
Imagine being able to sterilize your dog or cat without surgery or anesthesia, but with a simple injection.
While a sterilization injection is not available yet, it will be. WHEN
is a matter of how much the public pressures pharmaceutical companies,
scientists, regulators and funders into developing the right tools.
Join the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D), the ASPCA and Petfinder.com
in endorsing this petition by declaring your support now! Your
signatures and comments will be delivered to key targets to stimulate
funding, research and development, approval and distribution of these
life-saving tools.

For
53 years, the Pet Assistance Foundation has been helping low income,
disabled and seniors pay
for spaying and neutering pets. They are an all-volunteer organization
that has branches from Antelope Valley
down to south San Diego. The Pet Assistance Foundation pledges money
to carefully-screened vets who are low-cost for spay/neuter procedures.
Pet Assistance Foundation is here to help you understand that:
*No
female dog or cat need have even a single litter. Veterinarians
recommend spaying them before they come into heat, as a precaution
against reproductive cancers. Puppies and kittens can be altered as
early as 8 weeks of age. Cats should be spayed no later than the age of
five months. Dogs should be spayed before six months of age. Spaying
after the first heat can cost more.
*Male dogs and cats do not
lose their masculinity when altered. They are happier, healthier, and
better companions. They are less frustrated, less inclined to roam or
run away, and will never develop prostate tumors. Male dogs and cats
should be altered by 6 to 7 months of age, if not sooner.
*Cats and dogs do not get "fat and lazy" after altering. Obesity is caused by overfeeding and insufficient exercise.
*You
will never regain the cost of your "purebred" dog if you breed her. The
average cost of rearing a litter of puppies to an adoptable age of 8 to
12 weeks, along with the prenatal and post-natal veterinarian services,
far exceed any profit you will earn.
*A dog or cat in heat or
pregnant can be spayed. There is no reason to bring unwanted puppies
and kittens into the world when eight out of ten pets are killed
because there are no homes.
*If you illustrate the "miracle of
birth" with a litter of kittens or puppies, you are lying to your
children. What kind of miracle is it that condemns over 500,000 loving
pets to death each year in California alone?
The Sam Simon Foundation mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents.
To make an appointment for free spay/neuter for your dog or cat, please call 1-888-DOG-SPAY (1-888-364-7729).
Their Assistance Dogs Program
rescues dogs from animal shelters and humane societies to become
Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or Senior Dogs
for Senior Assisted Living Homes. Dogs that do not complete training
are adopted out as “Career Change Dogs” to families who would like a
nice companion.
Actors and Others for Animals is
a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the
promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Their main mission is to
curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter
surgeries. Together with other vital services, they are there to help
pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their
beloved companions.
The Lange Foundation was
founded in 1993 by Gillian Lange, recipient of the 1980 City of Los
Angeles St. Francis of Assisi Award for her rescue work with impounded
pets since 1974. She founded Amanda Foundation
in 1975, and to date the two Foundations have rescued and placed over
13,000 cats and dogs who would otherwise have been destroyed at
shelters.
Through a bequest, Lange
Foundation is pledging the sum of $1,000,000, effective immediately,
to spay and neuter cats and dogs whose guardians need financial
assistance throughout the County of Los Angeles. Vouchers to cover
the entire cost of the procedure will be sent to pet guardians,
designating a mutually-chosen veterinarian near their place of
residence. Feral cats will also be included in the program.
To obtain a voucher, and for more information about Lange
Foundation, please call 310-472-7727.
The Amanda Foundation
The Coalition for Pets & Public Safety is
focusing on spay and neuter programs to alleviate the needless pain and
suffering of thousands of animals killed in Los Angeles shelters.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and

take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.

animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.

"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

http://www.alleycat.org/
Visit ALLEY CAT ALLIES to learn how you can help make a difference for the feral cats that deserve to live.
Trap-Neuter-Return
(TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already
living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped,
then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens
and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild
to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong
care of volunteers.
HOW TO TALK TO ABSOLUTELY ANYONE ABOUT TNR
Become a TNR Advocate!
National Feral Cat Day is every October 16th!
Catnippers offers
local services for feral cats and caregivers, including free or
assisted spay/neuter services for "managed colonies". Get discount
vouchers, loans of humane traps and more from this all-volunteer L.A.
program.
The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.
MuttCats.com features an animal shelter directory, articles, fiction, pet memorials, discussion boards, shopping and more.

Farm Animals
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and

ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.

a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the

beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

All dogs and cats residing in the City of Los Angeles must be spayed or neutered unless they meet certain medical criteria, are active show or service dogs, or are licensed for breeding purposes. Stiff fines and penalties can be assessed for persistent failure to comply. If you adopted your dog or cat from an animal shelter, state law requires that they be spayed or neutered before you will be allowed to take them home unless there is a valid medical reason for delaying the surgery. Section 53.15.2 of the LAMC.
Save Lives: Support Non-Surgical Sterilization
Please sign this petition to support Non-Surgical Sterilization.
Imagine being able to sterilize your dog or cat without surgery or anesthesia, but with a simple injection.
While a sterilization injection is not available yet, it will be. WHEN
is a matter of how much the public pressures pharmaceutical companies,
scientists, regulators and funders into developing the right tools.
Join the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D), the ASPCA and Petfinder.com
in endorsing this petition by declaring your support now! Your
signatures and comments will be delivered to key targets to stimulate
funding, research and development, approval and distribution of these
life-saving tools.
Pet Assistance hotline phone number - 1-877-772-9738
Se habla el español
For
53 years, the Pet Assistance Foundation has been helping low income,
disabled and seniors pay
for spaying and neutering pets. They are an all-volunteer organization
that has branches from Antelope Valley
down to south San Diego. The Pet Assistance Foundation pledges money
to carefully-screened vets who are low-cost for spay/neuter procedures.
Pet Assistance Foundation is here to help you understand that:
*No
female dog or cat need have even a single litter. Veterinarians
recommend spaying them before they come into heat, as a precaution
against reproductive cancers. Puppies and kittens can be altered as
early as 8 weeks of age. Cats should be spayed no later than the age of
five months. Dogs should be spayed before six months of age. Spaying
after the first heat can cost more.
*Male dogs and cats do not
lose their masculinity when altered. They are happier, healthier, and
better companions. They are less frustrated, less inclined to roam or
run away, and will never develop prostate tumors. Male dogs and cats
should be altered by 6 to 7 months of age, if not sooner.
*Cats and dogs do not get "fat and lazy" after altering. Obesity is caused by overfeeding and insufficient exercise.
*You
will never regain the cost of your "purebred" dog if you breed her. The
average cost of rearing a litter of puppies to an adoptable age of 8 to
12 weeks, along with the prenatal and post-natal veterinarian services,
far exceed any profit you will earn.
*A dog or cat in heat or
pregnant can be spayed. There is no reason to bring unwanted puppies
and kittens into the world when eight out of ten pets are killed
because there are no homes.
*If you illustrate the "miracle of
birth" with a litter of kittens or puppies, you are lying to your
children. What kind of miracle is it that condemns over 500,000 loving
pets to death each year in California alone?
The Sam Simon Foundation mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents.
To make an appointment for free spay/neuter for your dog or cat, please call 1-888-DOG-SPAY (1-888-364-7729).
Their Assistance Dogs Program
rescues dogs from animal shelters and humane societies to become
Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or Senior Dogs
for Senior Assisted Living Homes. Dogs that do not complete training
are adopted out as “Career Change Dogs” to families who would like a
nice companion.
Actors and Others for Animals is
a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the
promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Their main mission is to
curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter
surgeries. Together with other vital services, they are there to help
pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their
beloved companions.
The Lange Foundation was
founded in 1993 by Gillian Lange, recipient of the 1980 City of Los
Angeles St. Francis of Assisi Award for her rescue work with impounded
pets since 1974. She founded Amanda Foundation
in 1975, and to date the two Foundations have rescued and placed over
13,000 cats and dogs who would otherwise have been destroyed at
shelters.
Through a bequest, Lange
Foundation is pledging the sum of $1,000,000, effective immediately,
to spay and neuter cats and dogs whose guardians need financial
assistance throughout the County of Los Angeles. Vouchers to cover
the entire cost of the procedure will be sent to pet guardians,
designating a mutually-chosen veterinarian near their place of
residence. Feral cats will also be included in the program.
To obtain a voucher, and for more information about Lange
Foundation, please call 310-472-7727.
The Amanda Foundation
The Coalition for Pets & Public Safety is
focusing on spay and neuter programs to alleviate the needless pain and
suffering of thousands of animals killed in Los Angeles shelters.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and
values (warm, caring and responsible just to name a few),
AnimalAttraction.com is dedicated to helping pet lovers make positive
connections with each other.

The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

Providing communities and individuals tools to promote compassion for animals.
Doris Day Animal League
Advancing Animal Advocacy
Increasing
awareness of our responsibility towards non-human animals via
legislative initiatives and the enforcement of pre-existing laws that
protect animals.
The Doris Day Animal Foundation’s 14th annual Spay Day USA takes place this year on Tuesday, February 24, 2009.
American Partnership For Pets
The
American Partnership for Pets is an unprecedented team of leading
veterinary, humane, animal control and fancier organizations, plus a
growing number of community partners, that have set differences aside
and united to speak with one voice on behalf of our nation's homeless
and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.
BENJI'S BUDDIES-
Benji’s Buddies is a cause-marketing program designed to
measurably improve animal shelter conditions and get homeless pets
adopted.
BENJI OFF THE LEASH
A percentage of the proceeds from the movie will go to the Benji Buddies Foundation.
The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.
Feral Cats

Visit ALLEY CAT ALLIES to learn how you can help make a difference for the feral cats that deserve to live.
Trap-Neuter-Return
(TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already
living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped,
then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens
and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild
to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong
care of volunteers.
HOW TO TALK TO ABSOLUTELY ANYONE ABOUT TNR
Become a TNR Advocate!
National Feral Cat Day is every October 16th!
Catnippers offers
local services for feral cats and caregivers, including free or
assisted spay/neuter services for "managed colonies". Get discount
vouchers, loans of humane traps and more from this all-volunteer L.A.
program.
The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.
MuttCats.com features an animal shelter directory, articles, fiction, pet memorials, discussion boards, shopping and more.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

SUSIE Q
Farm Sanctuary’s
mission involves the rescue and refuge of abused and neglected farm
animals, and numerous campaign, education, and legislative efforts on
behalf of them.

organization advocating a plant-based diet and humane treatment of
farmed animals through eight grassroots programs. It operates from the
nation's capital with a staff of eight, through a grass-roots network
of more than one thousand activists in all 50 states and several
Canadian provinces. Please explore their web site and consider getting
actively involved with FARM.
Puppy Mills
Companion Animal Protection Society
As the only national nonprofit dedicated exclusively
to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS
actively addresses this issue through investigations, education, media
relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

natural disasters and other crises, such as criminal seizures and

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and

beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

All dogs and cats residing in the City of Los Angeles must be spayed or neutered unless they meet certain medical criteria, are active show or service dogs, or are licensed for breeding purposes. Stiff fines and penalties can be assessed for persistent failure to comply. If you adopted your dog or cat from an animal shelter, state law requires that they be spayed or neutered before you will be allowed to take them home unless there is a valid medical reason for delaying the surgery. Section 53.15.2 of the LAMC.
Save Lives: Support Non-Surgical Sterilization
Please sign this petition to support Non-Surgical Sterilization.
Imagine being able to sterilize your dog or cat without surgery or anesthesia, but with a simple injection.
While a sterilization injection is not available yet, it will be. WHEN
is a matter of how much the public pressures pharmaceutical companies,
scientists, regulators and funders into developing the right tools.
Join the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D), the ASPCA and Petfinder.com
in endorsing this petition by declaring your support now! Your
signatures and comments will be delivered to key targets to stimulate
funding, research and development, approval and distribution of these
life-saving tools.
Pet Assistance hotline phone number - 1-877-772-9738
Se habla el español
For
53 years, the Pet Assistance Foundation has been helping low income,
disabled and seniors pay
for spaying and neutering pets. They are an all-volunteer organization
that has branches from Antelope Valley
down to south San Diego. The Pet Assistance Foundation pledges money
to carefully-screened vets who are low-cost for spay/neuter procedures.
Pet Assistance Foundation is here to help you understand that:
*No
female dog or cat need have even a single litter. Veterinarians
recommend spaying them before they come into heat, as a precaution
against reproductive cancers. Puppies and kittens can be altered as
early as 8 weeks of age. Cats should be spayed no later than the age of
five months. Dogs should be spayed before six months of age. Spaying
after the first heat can cost more.
*Male dogs and cats do not
lose their masculinity when altered. They are happier, healthier, and
better companions. They are less frustrated, less inclined to roam or
run away, and will never develop prostate tumors. Male dogs and cats
should be altered by 6 to 7 months of age, if not sooner.
*Cats and dogs do not get "fat and lazy" after altering. Obesity is caused by overfeeding and insufficient exercise.
*You
will never regain the cost of your "purebred" dog if you breed her. The
average cost of rearing a litter of puppies to an adoptable age of 8 to
12 weeks, along with the prenatal and post-natal veterinarian services,
far exceed any profit you will earn.
*A dog or cat in heat or
pregnant can be spayed. There is no reason to bring unwanted puppies
and kittens into the world when eight out of ten pets are killed
because there are no homes.
*If you illustrate the "miracle of
birth" with a litter of kittens or puppies, you are lying to your
children. What kind of miracle is it that condemns over 500,000 loving
pets to death each year in California alone?
The Sam Simon Foundation mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents.
To make an appointment for free spay/neuter for your dog or cat, please call 1-888-DOG-SPAY (1-888-364-7729).
Their Assistance Dogs Program
rescues dogs from animal shelters and humane societies to become
Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or Senior Dogs
for Senior Assisted Living Homes. Dogs that do not complete training
are adopted out as “Career Change Dogs” to families who would like a
nice companion.
Actors and Others for Animals is
a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the
promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Their main mission is to
curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter
surgeries. Together with other vital services, they are there to help
pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their
beloved companions.
The Lange Foundation was
founded in 1993 by Gillian Lange, recipient of the 1980 City of Los
Angeles St. Francis of Assisi Award for her rescue work with impounded
pets since 1974. She founded Amanda Foundation
in 1975, and to date the two Foundations have rescued and placed over
13,000 cats and dogs who would otherwise have been destroyed at
shelters.
Through a bequest, Lange
Foundation is pledging the sum of $1,000,000, effective immediately,
to spay and neuter cats and dogs whose guardians need financial
assistance throughout the County of Los Angeles. Vouchers to cover
the entire cost of the procedure will be sent to pet guardians,
designating a mutually-chosen veterinarian near their place of
residence. Feral cats will also be included in the program.
To obtain a voucher, and for more information about Lange
Foundation, please call 310-472-7727.
The Amanda Foundation
The Coalition for Pets & Public Safety is
focusing on spay and neuter programs to alleviate the needless pain and
suffering of thousands of animals killed in Los Angeles shelters.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and
values (warm, caring and responsible just to name a few),
AnimalAttraction.com is dedicated to helping pet lovers make positive
connections with each other.

at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The

Darren's memory and any help is appreciated!
Daniel
Pearl, a journalist, dedicated his life to bringing joy and
understanding to the world. He was murdered in Pakistan. Darren
Russell, employed as an English teacher in China, left no one untouched
by his kindness. He was murdered in Guangzhou, China. The original
song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell Family’s
goal to diminish violence and reach out for peace. The
original song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell
Family’s goal of diminishing the hatred that took their sons’ lives.
The Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes cross cultural understanding
through journalism, music, and Maxine Russell honors Darren’s memory by
sponsoring a troop in Iraq/Kuwait, helping other homicide survivors
with free resources and grief education support, training therapy dogs
for patients in hospitals, paying tuition for poor students in China to
attend school, and
donating to “Paws for Purple Hearts” a program which has veterans with
Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) train service dogs for vets with
physical disabilities. Sales from the CD will go to “Paws for Purple Hearts.”
The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

Doris Day Animal Foundation
Committed to Compassion
Providing communities and individuals tools to promote compassion for animals.
Doris Day Animal League
Advancing Animal Advocacy
Increasing
awareness of our responsibility towards non-human animals via
legislative initiatives and the enforcement of pre-existing laws that
protect animals.
The Doris Day Animal Foundation’s 14th annual Spay Day USA takes place this year on Tuesday, February 24, 2009.
American Partnership For Pets
The
American Partnership for Pets is an unprecedented team of leading
veterinary, humane, animal control and fancier organizations, plus a
growing number of community partners, that have set differences aside
and united to speak with one voice on behalf of our nation's homeless
and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.
BENJI'S BUDDIES-
Benji’s Buddies is a cause-marketing program designed to
measurably improve animal shelter conditions and get homeless pets
adopted.
BENJI OFF THE LEASH
A percentage of the proceeds from the movie will go to the Benji Buddies Foundation.
The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

(TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already
living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped,
then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens
and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild
to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong
care of volunteers.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

Canadian provinces. Please explore their web site and consider getting

Puppy Mills
Companion Animal Protection Society
As the only national nonprofit dedicated exclusively
to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS
actively addresses this issue through investigations, education, media
relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

Save Lives: Support Non-Surgical Sterilization
Please sign this petition to support Non-Surgical Sterilization.
Imagine being able to sterilize your dog or cat without surgery or anesthesia, but with a simple injection.
While a sterilization injection is not available yet, it will be. WHEN
is a matter of how much the public pressures pharmaceutical companies,
scientists, regulators and funders into developing the right tools.
Join the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D), the ASPCA and Petfinder.com
in endorsing this petition by declaring your support now! Your
signatures and comments will be delivered to key targets to stimulate
funding, research and development, approval and distribution of these
life-saving tools.
Pet Assistance hotline phone number - 1-877-772-9738
Se habla el español
For
53 years, the Pet Assistance Foundation has been helping low income,
disabled and seniors pay
for spaying and neutering pets. They are an all-volunteer organization
that has branches from Antelope Valley
down to south San Diego. The Pet Assistance Foundation pledges money
to carefully-screened vets who are low-cost for spay/neuter procedures.
Pet Assistance Foundation is here to help you understand that:
*No
female dog or cat need have even a single litter. Veterinarians
recommend spaying them before they come into heat, as a precaution
against reproductive cancers. Puppies and kittens can be altered as
early as 8 weeks of age. Cats should be spayed no later than the age of
five months. Dogs should be spayed before six months of age. Spaying
after the first heat can cost more.
*Male dogs and cats do not
lose their masculinity when altered. They are happier, healthier, and
better companions. They are less frustrated, less inclined to roam or
run away, and will never develop prostate tumors. Male dogs and cats
should be altered by 6 to 7 months of age, if not sooner.
*Cats and dogs do not get "fat and lazy" after altering. Obesity is caused by overfeeding and insufficient exercise.
*You
will never regain the cost of your "purebred" dog if you breed her. The
average cost of rearing a litter of puppies to an adoptable age of 8 to
12 weeks, along with the prenatal and post-natal veterinarian services,
far exceed any profit you will earn.
*A dog or cat in heat or
pregnant can be spayed. There is no reason to bring unwanted puppies
and kittens into the world when eight out of ten pets are killed
because there are no homes.
*If you illustrate the "miracle of
birth" with a litter of kittens or puppies, you are lying to your
children. What kind of miracle is it that condemns over 500,000 loving
pets to death each year in California alone?
The Sam Simon Foundation mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents.
To make an appointment for free spay/neuter for your dog or cat, please call 1-888-DOG-SPAY (1-888-364-7729).
Their Assistance Dogs Program
rescues dogs from animal shelters and humane societies to become
Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or Senior Dogs
for Senior Assisted Living Homes. Dogs that do not complete training
are adopted out as “Career Change Dogs” to families who would like a
nice companion.
Actors and Others for Animals is
a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the
promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Their main mission is to
curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter
surgeries. Together with other vital services, they are there to help
pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their
beloved companions.
The Lange Foundation was
founded in 1993 by Gillian Lange, recipient of the 1980 City of Los
Angeles St. Francis of Assisi Award for her rescue work with impounded
pets since 1974. She founded Amanda Foundation
in 1975, and to date the two Foundations have rescued and placed over
13,000 cats and dogs who would otherwise have been destroyed at
shelters.
Through a bequest, Lange
Foundation is pledging the sum of $1,000,000, effective immediately,
to spay and neuter cats and dogs whose guardians need financial
assistance throughout the County of Los Angeles. Vouchers to cover
the entire cost of the procedure will be sent to pet guardians,
designating a mutually-chosen veterinarian near their place of
residence. Feral cats will also be included in the program.
To obtain a voucher, and for more information about Lange
Foundation, please call 310-472-7727.
The Amanda Foundation
The Coalition for Pets & Public Safety is
focusing on spay and neuter programs to alleviate the needless pain and
suffering of thousands of animals killed in Los Angeles shelters.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and
values (warm, caring and responsible just to name a few),
AnimalAttraction.com is dedicated to helping pet lovers make positive
connections with each other.

Tippi Hedren Presents The SHAMBALA PRESERVE
The Shambala Preserve provides
sanctuary for exotic animals who have suffered from gross mistreatment
and neglect, so they can regain their physical and mental health and
live out their lives in dignity. The Roar Foundation, of which Tippi
Hedren serves as president, maintains Shambala. They educate the public
about exotic animals, and advocate for legislation to protect them.
Shambala is the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United
States. Since 1972, this unique 80 acre wildlife habitat has provided a
haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost 70 animals live
at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The
Shambala Preserve is open to the public one weekend a month by advance
reservation only. An afternoon safari costs $35 a person. See their Safari page for a schedule and mail-in reservation form.
Founded in January of 2003, the Romania Animal Rescue, Inc. has had but one agenda: Saving animals in Romania through values, education, and kindness.
RAR's
mission is to establish animal welfare in the country of Romania. They
are currently supplying free spay/neuter to the dogs and cats in Galati
Romania, and hope to expand this program to other cities.
Four Legged Friends Foundation supports people and animals
by educating the public on the positive mental and physical influences animals
have on us, and by assisting animal-related organizations in the expansion of
their own services and programs, including the training of assistance dogs,
animal shelters and rescues, paying veterinary bills for low-income seniors,
troubled teens, rescue dogs, pet therapy, and much more.

Darren's memory and any help is appreciated!
Daniel
Pearl, a journalist, dedicated his life to bringing joy and
understanding to the world. He was murdered in Pakistan. Darren
Russell, employed as an English teacher in China, left no one untouched
by his kindness. He was murdered in Guangzhou, China. The original
song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell Family’s
goal to diminish violence and reach out for peace. The
original song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell
Family’s goal of diminishing the hatred that took their sons’ lives.
The Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes cross cultural understanding
through journalism, music, and Maxine Russell honors Darren’s memory by
sponsoring a troop in Iraq/Kuwait, helping other homicide survivors
with free resources and grief education support, training therapy dogs
for patients in hospitals, paying tuition for poor students in China to
attend school, and
donating to “Paws for Purple Hearts” a program which has veterans with
Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) train service dogs for vets with
physical disabilities. Sales from the CD will go to “Paws for Purple Hearts.”
The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.

The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS

relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.
Updated and expanded for 2009 in a new second edition!

book that is being called "powerful and inspirational,"
"ground-breaking," and "a must read for anyone who cares about

shelters is an act of kindness.

personalized copies of Redemption for $20.00 per book in the United
States or $25.00 per book for international orders. (Shipping, tax and
handling are included.)

the path of grief and healing. This gift-book style handbook is written

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

Please sign this petition to support Non-Surgical Sterilization.
Imagine being able to sterilize your dog or cat without surgery or anesthesia, but with a simple injection.
While a sterilization injection is not available yet, it will be. WHEN
is a matter of how much the public pressures pharmaceutical companies,
scientists, regulators and funders into developing the right tools.
Join the Alliance for Contraception in Cats and Dogs (ACC&D), the ASPCA and Petfinder.com

Pet Assistance hotline phone number - 1-877-772-9738
Se habla el español
For
53 years, the Pet Assistance Foundation has been helping low income,
disabled and seniors pay
for spaying and neutering pets. They are an all-volunteer organization
that has branches from Antelope Valley
down to south San Diego. The Pet Assistance Foundation pledges money
to carefully-screened vets who are low-cost for spay/neuter procedures.
Pet Assistance Foundation is here to help you understand that:
*No
female dog or cat need have even a single litter. Veterinarians
recommend spaying them before they come into heat, as a precaution
against reproductive cancers. Puppies and kittens can be altered as
early as 8 weeks of age. Cats should be spayed no later than the age of
five months. Dogs should be spayed before six months of age. Spaying
after the first heat can cost more.
*Male dogs and cats do not
lose their masculinity when altered. They are happier, healthier, and
better companions. They are less frustrated, less inclined to roam or
run away, and will never develop prostate tumors. Male dogs and cats
should be altered by 6 to 7 months of age, if not sooner.
*Cats and dogs do not get "fat and lazy" after altering. Obesity is caused by overfeeding and insufficient exercise.
*You
will never regain the cost of your "purebred" dog if you breed her. The
average cost of rearing a litter of puppies to an adoptable age of 8 to
12 weeks, along with the prenatal and post-natal veterinarian services,
far exceed any profit you will earn.
*A dog or cat in heat or
pregnant can be spayed. There is no reason to bring unwanted puppies
and kittens into the world when eight out of ten pets are killed
because there are no homes.
*If you illustrate the "miracle of
birth" with a litter of kittens or puppies, you are lying to your
children. What kind of miracle is it that condemns over 500,000 loving
pets to death each year in California alone?
The Sam Simon Foundation mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents.
To make an appointment for free spay/neuter for your dog or cat, please call 1-888-DOG-SPAY (1-888-364-7729).
Their Assistance Dogs Program
rescues dogs from animal shelters and humane societies to become
Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or Senior Dogs
for Senior Assisted Living Homes. Dogs that do not complete training
are adopted out as “Career Change Dogs” to families who would like a
nice companion.
Actors and Others for Animals is
a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the
promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Their main mission is to
curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter
surgeries. Together with other vital services, they are there to help
pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their
beloved companions.
The Lange Foundation was
founded in 1993 by Gillian Lange, recipient of the 1980 City of Los
Angeles St. Francis of Assisi Award for her rescue work with impounded
pets since 1974. She founded Amanda Foundation
in 1975, and to date the two Foundations have rescued and placed over
13,000 cats and dogs who would otherwise have been destroyed at
shelters.
Through a bequest, Lange
Foundation is pledging the sum of $1,000,000, effective immediately,
to spay and neuter cats and dogs whose guardians need financial
assistance throughout the County of Los Angeles. Vouchers to cover
the entire cost of the procedure will be sent to pet guardians,
designating a mutually-chosen veterinarian near their place of
residence. Feral cats will also be included in the program.
To obtain a voucher, and for more information about Lange
Foundation, please call 310-472-7727.
The Amanda Foundation
The Coalition for Pets & Public Safety is
focusing on spay and neuter programs to alleviate the needless pain and
suffering of thousands of animals killed in Los Angeles shelters.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and

The Shambala Preserve provides
sanctuary for exotic animals who have suffered from gross mistreatment
and neglect, so they can regain their physical and mental health and
live out their lives in dignity. The Roar Foundation, of which Tippi

about exotic animals, and advocate for legislation to protect them.
Shambala is the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United
States. Since 1972, this unique 80 acre wildlife habitat has provided a
haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost 70 animals live
at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The
Shambala Preserve is open to the public one weekend a month by advance
reservation only. An afternoon safari costs $35 a person. See their Safari page for a schedule and mail-in reservation form.

their own services and programs, including the training of assistance dogs,

troubled teens, rescue dogs, pet therapy, and much more.

The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively

educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.

The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS

relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

For 53 years, the Pet Assistance Foundation has been helping low income, disabled and seniors pay for spaying and neutering pets. They are an all-volunteer organization that has branches from Antelope Valley down to south San Diego. The Pet Assistance Foundation pledges money to carefully-screened vets who are low-cost for spay/neuter procedures.
Pet Assistance Foundation is here to help you understand that:
*No female dog or cat need have even a single litter. Veterinarians recommend spaying them before they come into heat, as a precaution against reproductive cancers. Puppies and kittens can be altered as early as 8 weeks of age. Cats should be spayed no later than the age of five months. Dogs should be spayed before six months of age. Spaying after the first heat can cost more.
*Male dogs and cats do not lose their masculinity when altered. They are happier, healthier, and better companions. They are less frustrated, less inclined to roam or run away, and will never develop prostate tumors. Male dogs and cats should be altered by 6 to 7 months of age, if not sooner.
*Cats and dogs do not get "fat and lazy" after altering. Obesity is caused by overfeeding and insufficient exercise.
*You will never regain the cost of your "purebred" dog if you breed her. The average cost of rearing a litter of puppies to an adoptable age of 8 to 12 weeks, along with the prenatal and post-natal veterinarian services, far exceed any profit you will earn.
*A dog or cat in heat or pregnant can be spayed. There is no reason to bring unwanted puppies and kittens into the world when eight out of ten pets are killed because there are no homes.
*If you illustrate the "miracle of birth" with a litter of kittens or puppies, you are lying to your children. What kind of miracle is it that condemns over 500,000 loving pets to death each year in California alone?
The Sam Simon Foundation mobile clinic provides FREE spay and neuter surgeries to dogs and cats belonging to low-income families of Los Angeles city residents.
To make an appointment for free spay/neuter for your dog or cat, please call 1-888-DOG-SPAY (1-888-364-7729).
Their Assistance Dogs Program rescues dogs from animal shelters and humane societies to become Hearing Dogs for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, or Senior Dogs for Senior Assisted Living Homes. Dogs that do not complete training are adopted out as “Career Change Dogs” to families who would like a nice companion.
Actors and Others for Animals is a California 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of the humane treatment of animals. Their main mission is to curb the pet overpopulation problem by subsidizing spay/neuter surgeries. Together with other vital services, they are there to help pet guardians living on a low and/or fixed income care for their beloved companions.
Through a bequest, Lange Foundation is pledging the sum of $1,000,000, effective immediately, to spay and neuter cats and dogs whose guardians need financial assistance throughout the County of Los Angeles. Vouchers to cover the entire cost of the procedure will be sent to pet guardians, designating a mutually-chosen veterinarian near their place of residence. Feral cats will also be included in the program.
To obtain a voucher, and for more information about Lange Foundation, please call 310-472-7727.

The

is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and

and neglect, so they can regain their physical and mental health and
live out their lives in dignity. The Roar Foundation, of which Tippi

about exotic animals, and advocate for legislation to protect them.
Shambala is the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United
States. Since 1972, this unique 80 acre wildlife habitat has provided a
haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost 70 animals live
at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The
Shambala Preserve is open to the public one weekend a month by advance

troubled teens, rescue dogs, pet therapy, and much more.

The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works

welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.

dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.

animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which

stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.

"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

assistance and pet industry employee relations.

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and
values (warm, caring and responsible just to name a few),
AnimalAttraction.com is dedicated to helping pet lovers make positive

"We are dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged."
The Pet Fund

"The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit association that provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need urgent veterinary care."
United Animal Nations
http://www.uan.org/lifeline/index.html
"The mission of LifeLine is to help homeless or recently rescued animals suffering from life-threatening conditions that require specific and immediate emergency veterinary care. We strive to serve Good Samaritans and rescue groups who take in sick or injured animals. In certain cases, LifeLine can also assist senior citizens and low-income families pay for immediate emergency veterinary care."
Health care decisions for your pet should be based on quality of life,
not finances. The Ozzy Foundation was formed with this belief in mind,
to help pet guardians with the financial costs of veterinarian bills
and provide a supportive place for those caring for a chronically-ill
pet.

100% of healthy and sick/injured treatable animals, and 100% of feral
cats). He can help your community achieve NO KILL too!

Tippi Hedren Presents The SHAMBALA PRESERVE
The Shambala Preserve provides
sanctuary for exotic animals who have suffered from gross mistreatment
and neglect, so they can regain their physical and mental health and
live out their lives in dignity. The Roar Foundation, of which Tippi
Hedren serves as president, maintains Shambala. They educate the public
about exotic animals, and advocate for legislation to protect them.
Shambala is the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United
States. Since 1972, this unique 80 acre wildlife habitat has provided a
haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost 70 animals live
at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The
Shambala Preserve is open to the public one weekend a month by advance
reservation only. An afternoon safari costs $35 a person. See their Safari page for a schedule and mail-in reservation form.
Founded in January of 2003, the Romania Animal Rescue, Inc. has had but one agenda: Saving animals in Romania through values, education, and kindness.
RAR's
mission is to establish animal welfare in the country of Romania. They
are currently supplying free spay/neuter to the dogs and cats in Galati
Romania, and hope to expand this program to other cities.
Four Legged Friends Foundation supports people and animals
by educating the public on the positive mental and physical influences animals
have on us, and by assisting animal-related organizations in the expansion of
their own services and programs, including the training of assistance dogs,
animal shelters and rescues, paying veterinary bills for low-income seniors,
troubled teens, rescue dogs, pet therapy, and much more.

Darren's memory and any help is appreciated!
Daniel

understanding to the world. He was murdered in Pakistan. Darren
Russell, employed as an English teacher in China, left no one untouched
by his kindness. He was murdered in Guangzhou, China. The original

goal to diminish violence and reach out for peace. The
original song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell
Family’s goal of diminishing the hatred that took their sons’ lives.
The Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes cross cultural understanding
through journalism, music, and Maxine Russell honors Darren’s memory by
sponsoring a troop in Iraq/Kuwait, helping other homicide survivors
with free resources and grief education support, training therapy dogs
for patients in hospitals, paying tuition for poor students in China to
attend school, and
donating to “Paws for Purple Hearts” a program which has veterans with
Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) train service dogs for vets with
physical disabilities. Sales from the CD will go to “Paws for Purple Hearts.”
The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

growing number of community partners, that have set differences aside
and united to speak with one voice on behalf of our nation's homeless
and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.

The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS

relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and
values (warm, caring and responsible just to name a few),
AnimalAttraction.com is dedicated to helping pet lovers make positive

Hedren serves as president, maintains Shambala. They educate the public
about exotic animals, and advocate for legislation to protect them.
Shambala is the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United
States. Since 1972, this unique 80 acre wildlife habitat has provided a
haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost 70 animals live
at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The
Shambala Preserve is open to the public one weekend a month by advance
reservation only. An afternoon safari costs $35 a person. See their Safari page for a schedule and mail-in reservation form.
Founded in January of 2003, the Romania Animal Rescue, Inc. has had but one agenda: Saving animals in Romania through values, education, and kindness.
RAR's
mission is to establish animal welfare in the country of Romania. They
are currently supplying free spay/neuter to the dogs and cats in Galati
Romania, and hope to expand this program to other cities.
Four Legged Friends Foundation supports people and animals
by educating the public on the positive mental and physical influences animals
have on us, and by assisting animal-related organizations in the expansion of
their own services and programs, including the training of assistance dogs,
animal shelters and rescues, paying veterinary bills for low-income seniors,
troubled teens, rescue dogs, pet therapy, and much more.

Darren's memory and any help is appreciated!
Daniel
Pearl, a journalist, dedicated his life to bringing joy and
understanding to the world. He was murdered in Pakistan. Darren
Russell, employed as an English teacher in China, left no one untouched
by his kindness. He was murdered in Guangzhou, China. The original
song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell Family’s
goal to diminish violence and reach out for peace. The
original song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell
Family’s goal of diminishing the hatred that took their sons’ lives.
The Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes cross cultural understanding
through journalism, music, and Maxine Russell honors Darren’s memory by
sponsoring a troop in Iraq/Kuwait, helping other homicide survivors
with free resources and grief education support, training therapy dogs
for patients in hospitals, paying tuition for poor students in China to
attend school, and
donating to “Paws for Purple Hearts” a program which has veterans with
Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) train service dogs for vets with
physical disabilities. Sales from the CD will go to “Paws for Purple Hearts.”
The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

Increasing
awareness of our responsibility towards non-human animals via
legislative initiatives and the enforcement of pre-existing laws that
protect animals.

American Partnership For Pets
The
American Partnership for Pets is an unprecedented team of leading
veterinary, humane, animal control and fancier organizations, plus a
growing number of community partners, that have set differences aside
and united to speak with one voice on behalf of our nation's homeless
and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.

The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS
actively addresses this issue through investigations, education, media
relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,

States or $25.00 per book for international orders. (Shipping, tax and
handling are included.)
Each book is
autographed by Nathan Winograd and personalized to the person making

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and
values (warm, caring and responsible just to name a few),
AnimalAttraction.com is dedicated to helping pet lovers make positive
connections with each other.

The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

Doris Day Animal Foundation
Committed to Compassion
Providing communities and individuals tools to promote compassion for animals.
Doris Day Animal League
Advancing Animal Advocacy
Increasing
awareness of our responsibility towards non-human animals via
legislative initiatives and the enforcement of pre-existing laws that
protect animals.
The Doris Day Animal Foundation’s 14th annual Spay Day USA takes place this year on Tuesday, February 24, 2009.
American Partnership For Pets
The
American Partnership for Pets is an unprecedented team of leading
veterinary, humane, animal control and fancier organizations, plus a
growing number of community partners, that have set differences aside
and united to speak with one voice on behalf of our nation's homeless
and unwanted animals.
The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.
BENJI'S BUDDIES-
Benji’s Buddies is a cause-marketing program designed to
measurably improve animal shelter conditions and get homeless pets
adopted.
BENJI OFF THE LEASH
A percentage of the proceeds from the movie will go to the Benji Buddies Foundation.
The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

Trap-Neuter-Return
(TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already
living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped,
then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens
and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild
to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong
care of volunteers.

Catnippers offers
local services for feral cats and caregivers, including free or
assisted spay/neuter services for "managed colonies". Get discount
vouchers, loans of humane traps and more from this all-volunteer L.A.
program.
The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

Canadian provinces. Please explore their web site and consider getting

Puppy Mills
Companion Animal Protection Society
As the only national nonprofit dedicated exclusively
to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS
actively addresses this issue through investigations, education, media
relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

The
Mission of The League of Humane Voters® (LOHV)
is to create, unite, and strengthen local political action
committees, which work to enact animal-friendly legislation
and elect candidates for public office who will use their
votes and influence for animal protection.
The
use of animals in the circus is an unnecessary and inhumane practice
that is harmful to both the animals and the public. Wild animals are
trained to perform unnatural tricks to entertain crowds through the use
of barbaric tools - including bullhooks, chains, and electric prods.
These tricks are unnatural, frightening, and even painful; but the
industry's mantra is "the show must go on."
AnimalWork.org, the internet's first animal-friendly jobsite.
At AnimalWork.org, they celebrate animals by donating a portion of every sale to animal rights
and rescue organizations. The business motive behind this is simple: The goals of an animal
non-profit organization and an animal job board are aligned- when non-profits are doing well,
there are more animal jobs in the industry, which sustains their job board, and everybody wins.
AnimalAttraction.com is THE PLACE FOR PET LOVERS. Founded on the
belief that pet lovers share common interests, characteristics, and

1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

wanted to save forgotten animals:- animals left behind during disasters because people shelters wouldn’t take them in
- animals whose low or no-income guardians couldn’t afford lifesaving veterinary care for them
- animals rescued by grassroots groups or individuals doing good work in their communities with not enough support
- mares and their foals abused and slaughtered for the cruel manufacture of the drug Premarin
- animals killed for human entertainment such as in pigeon shoots, dog fights and cockfights
Orangutan Foundation International
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!
American Humane
American
Humane is a well-established animal welfare organization with a
reputation of dedicated leadership on the issues that matter. Their
goal is to effect change by working with other organizations through
cooperation and coalition building. American Humane protects animals
through positive advocacy and action.
The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.
World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) works
with more than 485 member organizations to raise the standards of
animal welfare throughout the world. Their vision is a world in which
the welfare of animals is understood and respected by everyone, and
protected by effective legislation. Through
their collaborative projects WSPA is Campaigning Against Cruelty by
exposing animal abuse and enforcing stronger laws; their Animal Rescue
teams are working to save abandoned or neglected animals or those
stricken by disasters; and by Changing Hearts and Minds amongst people
living and working with animals, WSPA is forging a safer future for all
animals.
The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights actively
works toward the acquisition of rights for all nonhuman animals by
educating the public and the veterinary profession about a variety of
issues concerning nonhuman animal use. The AVAR is actively seeking reformation of the way society treats all nonhumans and an increase in environmental awareness, as well.

The Directors of Animal Welfare (DAWS)
"Assisting local councils and stakeholders in Los Angeles with animal issues"
Last Chance for Animals (LCA) recognizes
that animals have the ability to experience pain, and as such they
deserve certain basic rights protecting them from pain caused by
humans. LCA believes that non-human animals should not be subjected to
suffering and exploitation by humans because alternatives exist for
nearly every traditional "usage" of animals.

living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped,
then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens
and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild
to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong
care of volunteers.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

Puppy Mills
Companion Animal Protection Society

to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS
actively addresses this issue through investigations, education, media
relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.

then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens
and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild
to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong
care of volunteers.

National Feral Cat Day is every October 16th!
Catnippers offers
local services for feral cats and caregivers, including free or
assisted spay/neuter services for "managed colonies". Get discount
vouchers, loans of humane traps and more from this all-volunteer L.A.
program.
The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.
A humane alternative to declawing
Nail caps for your cat's claws-
Soft Paws are safe and non-toxic.
And so comfortable, most cats don't even know they're wearing them.
MuttCats.com features an animal shelter directory, articles, fiction, pet memorials, discussion boards, shopping and more.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

organization advocating a plant-based diet and humane treatment of
farmed animals through eight grassroots programs. It operates from the
nation's capital with a staff of eight, through a grass-roots network
of more than one thousand activists in all 50 states and several
Canadian provinces. Please explore their web site and consider getting

Puppy Mills
Companion Animal Protection Society
As the only national nonprofit dedicated exclusively
to protecting companion animals, CAPS' foremost concern is the abuse
and suffering of pet shop and puppy mill dogs. Founded in 1992, CAPS
actively addresses this issue through investigations, education, media
relations, legislative involvement, puppy mill dog rescues, consumer
assistance and pet industry employee relations.
CAPS defines
a puppy mill as a "commercial breeding facility that mass-produces
puppies for resale through pet shops or individuals."

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.

which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.

Farm Animals
Animal Acres,
was founded by Lorri Bauston, who is considered the “pioneer” of the
farmed animal sanctuary movement. In 1986, Lorri co-founded Farm Sanctuary®,
which opened the country’s first shelter for farmed animals. For 18
years, she directed the group’s shelter and fundraising efforts.
Through
her farm animal sanctuary efforts, Lorri has directly saved thousands
of animals from the cruelties of factory farms, stockyards and
slaughterhouses, and brought national attention to the plight of
animals used for “food production.”
In
2005, Lorri Bauston formed Animal Acres, and established the Los
Angeles Farm Animal Sanctuary & Compassionate Living Center.
Working with a team of dedicated animal advocates, the organization
succeeded in purchasing a beautiful 26-acre farm just 40 minutes from
Los Angeles. The sanctuary has two large animal housing barns and a
visitor center that surrounds a peaceful garden courtyard for public
gatherings.

FREE to a Good Home MOVIE
FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

Why Does Volunteer Animal Transport Exist?
A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.

ONE AT A TIME: SHELTERS OFFER HOPE AND HELP
One at a Time,
a compelling, heartfelt book by Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer takes the
reader through a typical week in a United States shelter. Through
endearing pictures and gripping stories that contain both tragedy and
miracles, this book reveals the reality of shelters, brings to light
the roots of animal homelessness, and opens doors on how all of us can
ensure more happy endings for animals that end up in shelters.
One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal Shelter is a project of No Voice Unheard,
a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote an ethic of
compassion and respect for all living beings and the planet we share,
and encourage a deeper awareness of the effects our actions have on the
lives and existence of animals, the environment, and our fellow human
beings.

K9 Fusion, Who Really Loves You? - Enhanced Music CD
Sven the Love Dog, plays each and every instrument on his debut album. The only exception is the drums, which are played by Sven's Dad, and fellow groove-monster, Steve Brooks. Every intense vocalization is produced by Sven, or one of his canine friends in this interpretive expression of the Dogs' creative process. It's REAL, it's DANGEROUS, face it, this Dog's the SHIH TZU!
Enhanced CD contains a video of the making of K9 Fusion. See for yourself as Sven pounds the piano, claw-picks his guitar, and gnashes his teeth on bass strings with the ferocity of Hendrix himself.
After a long and productive life, Sven sadly passed away in January of
2005. His work and spirit lives on through his many television, film
and musical recordings. Please read more about Sven's Story.

"The mission of LifeLine is to help homeless or recently rescued animals suffering from life-threatening conditions that require specific and immediate emergency veterinary care. We strive to serve Good Samaritans and rescue groups who take in sick or injured animals. In certain cases, LifeLine can also assist senior citizens and low-income families pay for immediate emergency veterinary care."
Nathan J. Winograd, President, is the former Executive Director of the Tompkins County SPCA (Ithaca, NY) and Director of Operations for the San Francisco SPCA.
He has created successful No Kill programs in both urban and rural
communities, and in both animal control and private shelters. He also
created the country's first and only truly No Kill community (saving
100% of healthy and sick/injured treatable animals, and 100% of feral
cats). He can help your community achieve NO KILL too!
The Shambala Preserve provides
sanctuary for exotic animals who have suffered from gross mistreatment
and neglect, so they can regain their physical and mental health and
live out their lives in dignity. The Roar Foundation, of which Tippi
Hedren serves as president, maintains Shambala. They educate the public
about exotic animals, and advocate for legislation to protect them.
Shambala is the only wild animal preserve of its kind in the United
States. Since 1972, this unique 80 acre wildlife habitat has provided a
haven for endangered exotic big cats. Currently, almost 70 animals live
at Shambala, including African lions, Siberian and Bengal tigers,
leopards, servals, mountain lions, bobcats, a lynx, a Florida Panther,
a snow leopard, a cheetah, and an African Elephant.
The
Shambala Preserve is open to the public one weekend a month by advance
reservation only. An afternoon safari costs $35 a person. See their Safari page for a schedule and mail-in reservation form. Founded in January of 2003, the Romania Animal Rescue, Inc. has had but one agenda: Saving animals in Romania through values, education, and kindness.
RAR's
mission is to establish animal welfare in the country of Romania. They
are currently supplying free spay/neuter to the dogs and cats in Galati
Romania, and hope to expand this program to other cities.

Darren's memory and any help is appreciated!
Daniel
Pearl, a journalist, dedicated his life to bringing joy and
understanding to the world. He was murdered in Pakistan. Darren
Russell, employed as an English teacher in China, left no one untouched
by his kindness. He was murdered in Guangzhou, China. The original
song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell Family’s
goal to diminish violence and reach out for peace. The
original song, “Dancing in the Rain” is based on the Pearl and Russell
Family’s goal of diminishing the hatred that took their sons’ lives.
The Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes cross cultural understanding
through journalism, music, and Maxine Russell honors Darren’s memory by
sponsoring a troop in Iraq/Kuwait, helping other homicide survivors
with free resources and grief education support, training therapy dogs
for patients in hospitals, paying tuition for poor students in China to
attend school, and
donating to “Paws for Purple Hearts” a program which has veterans with
Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) train service dogs for vets with
physical disabilities. Sales from the CD will go to “Paws for Purple Hearts.”
The STAND Foundation does four things with the safety, health and comfort of the animals as their paramount concern.
1. Provide basic aid for dogs & cats belonging to homeless people.
2. Improve the living conditions of neglected guard dogs.
3.
Provide basic help for independent, "indie", non-hoarding rescuers who
take the lead on their projects but who need access to spay/neuter
certificates, shelter bail cards, pallets of high quality dog food, cat
food & litter, and funding for basic services like spay-neuter,
flea medicine, et al.
4. Develop creative programs to fill the under-served, or completely neglected, needs of fellow rescuers.
PAWS/LA exists
to enhance the quality of life of people living with a disabling
life-threatening or terminal illness by empowering them to keep and
care for their pets.
DogsInDanger.com believes in the power of compassion, and that Americans would do more to help and adopt shelter dogs, if only they knew how many dogs shelters euthanize. They have chosen a path of technology as a means of connecting these scared, abandoned shelter dogs with the loving homes they deserve. As a nonprofit organization, they seek no other gain except for the happiness we see in the face of a dog as he faithfully walks out through the shelter doors, in perfect step with his loving new family. Their ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.

American Partnership For Pets
The
American Partnership for Pets is an unprecedented team of leading
veterinary, humane, animal control and fancier organizations, plus a
growing number of community partners, that have set differences aside
and united to speak with one voice on behalf of our nation's homeless
and unwanted animals. The United Animal Nations
"Making a World of Difference for the Animals"
United Animal Nations was founded in 1987 by a small group of humane
movement workers with more than 120 years of aggregate experience, who
wanted to save forgotten animals:
Today, the situation facing wild orangutans is far worse than in 1971
when OFI founder, Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, first began her studies. As a result of poaching and habitat
destruction, orangutan populations are on the edge of extinction and
could be completely gone in the next five to 10 years. Understanding is the first step to action. As
President of OFI, Dr. Biruté Galdikas has studied orangutans longer
than any other person in human history and has worked ceaselessly to
save orangutans and forests, and to bring orangutans and their plight
to the attention of the world.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) works
to improve the welfare of wild and domestic animals throughout the
world by reducing commercial exploitation of animals, protecting
wildlife habitats, and assisting animals in distress. They seek to
motivate the public to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote animal
welfare and conservation policies that advance the well-being of both
animals and people.
Fences for Fido improves the quality of life for dogs living outdoors by removing
chains, building fences, providing shelters, offering spay/neuter, and
raising awareness about the physical, mental and emotional needs of
dogs and why chaining a dog is inhumane and dangerous.
The Pet Savers Foundation
Their
purpose is to extend the quality of life for homeless animals by
promoting and advancing their humane treatment. This is accomplished
through national programs in support of America’s humane community. As
a result, more and more companion animals are being saved and enjoying
healthier, happier lives!

The Fund For Animals
"We speak for those who can't."
The Fund for Animals carries on the legacy of Cleveland Amory by using
education, legislation, litigation, and hands-on care to protect
animals from cruelty. The Fund's primary emphasis is on advocating and
providing sanctuary for wildlife, whether the animals are endangered or
thriving, charismatic or homely, native or exotic.

The AFFORDABLE CAT FENCE provides effective
and humane cat containment by turning your yard into a secure enclosure.
Rather than causing pain to your pets through electric fences or collars,
our cat fence is a barrier of netting supported by heavy-gauge steel
stanchions (unlike the wire brackets of the Cat Fence-In product)
which attach to your existing fence. The barrier angles into your
yard providing an overhang which cats will not climb. There is also
a vertical component inhibiting the entry of other
animals from outside your yard.

FREE to a Good Home is a dramatic feature, which follows one woman’s commitment to animals and her work in animal rescue. Though fictitious, it takes a harsh, realistic look at the poignant lives
and tragic deaths of just a few out of the millions of animals that
fall victim to a system that does not work every year. This film provides an insider’s view of Animal Control, as well as the
daily lives of the people committed to rescuing the animals from the
streets, the shelters, the backyard breeders, and the homes of
collectors. Ultimately, the film offers compelling solutions to resolving this ongoing problem of animal overpopulation and abuse. This film has been in the making out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California. Donations expanded nationwide after a fire claimed Writer/Director Judy Crozier's home and five pets. A portion of the profits from this film will be donated to Animal Rescue. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

A swelling group of people who meet up in cyberspace are opposed
to what happens to millions of our nation's homeless animals once
their shelter stay expires. They deem the killing unacceptable and
unjust; and they're doing something about it.
The increasingly popular activity that saves these animals' lives
takes place every weekend, all over the country. The "legs," (as
they are known to the people who drive them) are vital to the
pre-arranged journeys that take rescued animals home.
