Help improve the state of animal sheltering in Los Angeles
[Updated 10/1/24] The lives of LA shelter pets are in jeopardy.
In 2020, Los Angeles became the largest city in the country to achieve no-kill status when the city’s save rate reached 90.4% for all cats and dogs.
Recently, however, Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) has not been able to maintain its no-kill programming – putting the lives of both pets and the people who work there at risk.
Every week, up to 200 dogs and cats are dying in LA's shelters, and conditions for both pets and people are dire. But the LA City Council and Mayor have the power to change that.
By implementing no-kill programming, such as increased foster placement and adoption outreach, among others, we will ensure every life that can be saved, is saved.
TAKE ACTION: Send a message urging your city leaders to implement no-kill programs and policies to keep the pets and people of Los Angeles safe. Then, sign our petition showing your support.
