We’re not generally the types to rally on the streets but today we got out of our comfort zone and showed up at LA City Hall. Thousands of dogs and cats are suffering and dying in Los Angeles City shelters - and it’s only getting worse.

From a recent LA Times article, data shows that in 2024 from Jan to Sep, 1224 dogs were euthanized in our so-called “NO KILL” shelters  - a 72% increase over last year. Healthy, adoptable animals are losing their lives simply because there’s no space, no staffing, and no support.

City leadership promised to address the crisis. Instead, overcrowding is up, more animals are dying, and now proposed budget cuts could make things even worse. This isn’t just heartbreaking — it’s preventable.

Many resources could be spend different if LA City would look closer to HOW TO PREVENT DOGS ENDING UP IN THE SHELTERS IN THE FIRST PLACE!! We need to start offering SPAY & NEUTER PROGRAMS for the underserved areas!

By preventing unwanted litters, we reduce shelter crowding at the root.

This is why our mission matters 🖤
