LINKS PAGE IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION (I'm still categorizing the links, so everything isn't under the right heading yet)- thank you for your patience!

If you have an animal-related website and would like to exchange links, please let me know at pam@buddhadog.com.

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.

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 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.

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.” 



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.

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.

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.

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.


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 Pet Savers Foundation presents its annual CHAMP (Conference on Homeless Animal Management and Policy) Conference every fall.



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.

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

Pit Bull Rescue Central

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.


FARM

(Farm Animal Reform Movement) is a national, tax-exempt, educational 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.


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."

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.



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.

Tippi Hedren Presents The SHAMBALA PRESERVE

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.

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.

Pryor's Planet
"A Saving Grace For All Animals"

Richard Pryor, a Comedy Legend's Official Site

Richard Pryor may have gotten sidelined by MS, but he was so adamantly opposed to the use of animals in researching even his disease that he used his Christmas card to discourage donations to charities that still fund such tests. He's been honored by PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, for saving baby elephants in Botswana targeted for circuses. In 2000, as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus was preparing to open at Madison Square Garden, Pryor gave the Big Top's first African-American ringmaster something to think about. "While I am hardly one to complain about a young African American making an honest living," Pryor wrote in a letter to Jonathan Lee Iverson, "I urge you to ask yourself just how honorable it is to preside over the abuse and suffering of animals."
Pryor also crusaded against Burger King with Alec Baldwin. They sent letters asking owners of Burger King franchises to use their clout to get the fast-food corporation to meet or exceed the animal welfare standards set by its chief competitor, McDonald's.
Richard and his wife Jennifer Lee shared their lives with many rescued dogs. Visit their website and learn about and help carry on his legacy for animal activism.

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.
