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.
If you are a renter in L.A. and have a question involving a dispute between you and your landlord over your animal, please contact The Los Angeles Housing Department Rent Stabilization Division at 866-557-RENT (7368).

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.
Our ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.
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.

Your signatures and comments will be delivered to key targets to stimulate funding, research and development, approval and distribution of these life-saving tools.

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."

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.

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?
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.

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.

"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

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 fictious, 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 for more than 4 years. It is being made out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California.
Donations recently 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.
This film project emulates the grass roots efforts of animal rescuers, and has counted on rescuers for support. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

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.
Our ultimate goal is to see a day where healthy and treatable animals are no longer killed by their most trusted friends.
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.

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."

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.

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?
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.

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 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

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 fictious, 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 for more than 4 years. It is being made out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California.
Donations recently 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.
This film project emulates the grass roots efforts of animal rescuers, and has counted on rescuers for support. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

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."

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.

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.

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?
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.

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.

- 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

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 fictious, 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 for more than 4 years. It is being made out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California.
Donations recently 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.
This film project emulates the grass roots efforts of animal rescuers, and has counted on rescuers for support. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

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.

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.
The Downtown Dog Rescue, an affiliate program of Friends For Animals started by Lori Weise, cares for the abused, abandoned, neglected and injured dogs in the "Skid Row" area of downtown Los Angeles.

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?
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.

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 fictious, 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 for more than 4 years. It is being made out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California.
Donations recently 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.
This film project emulates the grass roots efforts of animal rescuers, and has counted on rescuers for support. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

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."

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."

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.

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?
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.

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 fictious, 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 for more than 4 years. It is being made out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California.
Donations recently 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.
This film project emulates the grass roots efforts of animal rescuers, and has counted on rescuers for support. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.

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.

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.

- 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

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 fictious, 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 for more than 4 years. It is being made out of the pockets of Animal Rescuers in Southern California.
Donations recently 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.
This film project emulates the grass roots efforts of animal rescuers, and has counted on rescuers for support. The film, when completed, will be used to raise awareness and funding for rescue groups in Los Angeles, and throughout the country.
