Non-Profit

Table Mountain Animal Center is Getting a Makeover


When I think of a traditional city or county animal shelter, I almost get tears in my eyes. I envision rows of barking dogs and frightened cats lined up in tiny cages with dates on their cards. I automati­cally assume that unless it’s a “no-kill” shelter, these animals have specified euthanasia dates scheduled, and spend their days behind bars, with little chance of being adopted.

 

 

A Place To Bark Animal Rescue

A Place To Bark, established in 2001, is a small rescue saving dogs by the hundreds every year—but in a big way. They rescue pets from high-kill animal control agen­cies, puppy mill seizures, and police-confiscated cruelty cases.

 

 

Santa Cruz SPCA - Remembering Katrina

As the fifth anniversary of Hur­ricanes Katrina and Rita draws near, a recollection of pain, loss, and despair resurge from the dormant corners of our memory; the place we store the moments of our lives we wish to forget.

 

SANTA CRUZ SPCA

If ever there was a story of a little place that can do big things, this is it. The Santa Cruz SPCA is a private, non-profit rescue that operates out of a modest converted house. The exterior is in some disrepair, but I can tell by the picket fence adorned with pink wooden hearts, the shiny sign, and the laughter radiating from the open windows, that this place begs to be given a chance to show its true personality—much like the animals housed within.
 


OLYMPIC ANIMAL SANCTUARY

When Leroy escaped his pen at a boarding kennel and nearly ripped a dachshund in half, the owner of the facility wanted him dead. Even though the attack was a direct result of her failure to contain a 'red-nosed pit bull' with an unknown history apart from tell-tale scars indicating dog fighting, Leroy was the one held responsible—a "vicious, aggressive, bad dog." Fortunately for him, his rescuers weren't willing to write him off so quickly.
 


Hope For Paws

What do a dog, kitten, sugar glider, owl, alligator lizard, and screech owl have in common? They have all resided in our home as Hope For Paws fosters. Most people think we are a dog rescue, but we made sure to file as a rescue for all animals since we are located in Los Angeles, where the shelters can have anything from hamsters to horses.
