From Lovebugs Rescue
Lovebugs Rescue is a foster-based animal rescue located in Southern California. We began our mission in October 2010, founded by Heather Peterson. Our team continues to grow with dedicated volunteers who take their time out of their personal lives to serve our mission.We are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a non-profit organization under 501(C)(3). Our goal is to work with local animal shelters that are overpopulated so we may lessen the number of animals being euthanized unnecessarily. Our hope is that we can educate people on how serious this issue is and how easy it is to make a difference.
