Friends For Animals is a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is
to provide aid to animals in need. We are of the belief that no animal
should have to suffer.
OUR OBJECTIVES
To provide medical treatment, fostering and
eventual adoption to homeless, abused and unwanted animals. To educate the
public on the importance of spay/neuter programs in both English and
Spanish. To encourage dog and cat owners to be responsible pet owners. To
assist low-income and disabled people with their pet problems. To work
with feral cats utilizing spay/neuter programs to prevent further
overpopulation.
HOW WE OPERATE
Friends For Animals has a very small kenneling facility. We also have a foster program
that enables our animals to go into a loving
environment while receiving medical attention or whatever is needed for
rehabilitation. Animals are fostered until they are adopted. We have no
time limit on our adoptions. All potential adopters are screened in person
and if they qualify, they are asked to sign an adoption agreement.
THE STAFF
The President has a 25-year background of dedication to
animal rights. Having worked at all the major studios where feral cats are
in abundance along with abandoned and dumped animals, there was always a
need for trapping, spay/neutering, fostering, relocating and dealing with
sick animals. We assist low-income and
disabled individuals with their pet problems. We also have a fantastic
program headed up by Lori Weise called Downtown Dog Rescue.
This program offers free spay/neuter for low-income individuals along with assistance for homeless people and their animals. We have spayed/neutered hundreds of dogs and cats. We have provided medical attention, foster homes and eventual forever homes to hundreds of dogs that have been dumped on the streets of Los Angeles. For more information on this program and spay/neuter dates, call 818-407-4145.
All
volunteers have experience with animal rescue and fostering.
Since
we are a non-profit animal organization we rely on donations to enable us
to continue our rescue and adoption programs. All donations are tax
deductible. No one at Friends For Animals receives a salary, all monies go
to the animals.
