2nd Anniversary for the South LA Shelter Intervention Program

On April 6, 2015, we celebrated the South LA Shelter Intervention Program’s SECOND ANNIVERSARY!SLA-sign

As of April 6, 2013, DDR has served 4,846 cats, dogs, rabbits, and a couple goats and chickens! We could not offer this program without the financial support from Found Animals Foundation and the approval of LA Animal Services to allow our counselor Amanda to be in the shelter, right next to the office where animals coming into the shelter are being surrendered. This program is more than just preventing animals from entering the shelter, it’s about offering families with pets resources and options instead of surrendering their pets. If you follow this page, you already know that most of the cases are centered around the problem of poverty.

We want to thank all the rescue groups like A Purposeful Rescue Angel City Pit Bulls Dawg Squad animal rescue for their support and service providers The Amanda Foundation The Sam Simon Foundation’s Mobile Veterinary Clinic North Figueroa Animal Hospital and Alondra Animal Hospital Puppy Imprinters Academy and Willie’s Grooming and Pet Shop and Kennels and most of all for the ASPCA who was a major game changer for our program when they opened up a FREE spay/neuter clinic for low income pet owners who live in South Los Angeles. We no longer need to scramble to figure out how and when to help a pet owner get their dog or cat sterilized.

Every day, Amanda tells people to walk next door, literally five feet from her office and get their pet spayed or neutered free. The support they have offered our program is amazing. We are grateful for all of our supporters and YOU, who follow this page, donate supplies, offer to transport pets to clinic appointments, donate funds to care for a very sick pet and even pay for families to live in a motel with their dog until they can get into permanent housing.

We could not do this without all of YOUR support. All of the families with pets living in South LA THANK YOU for your help!!
