Can you foster? When we have emergencies, it is amazing how people step up to foster right away, but weeks later the attention dissipates but the animals still need somewhere to go. Even if you can foster in a few weeks, let us know! Fostering is the greatest gift of life!

This is Leadership! So proud to be a part of our team
!

California is facing a DIRE SHORTAGE of Veterinarians (DVMs) and Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) - driving the costs of caring for our beloved companion animals to staggering heights.

SCIL is working to expedite licensing for out-of-state veterinarians and registered veterinary technicians to help solve this problem.

As we hear from the veterinary community, factors such as inflation and a labor shortage have led to increased salaries, while the consolidation of small practices into large corporations has only exacerbated the situation. And, depending on your zip code, there is also plain old price gouging.

This financial burden weighs heavily not just on everyday Californians but also on the dedicated rescue community which tirelessly works to save countless cats, dogs, rabbits, and other animals abandoned in public shelters.

One of SCIL’s sponsored bills in 2023, ACR 86, resolved to encourage out-of-state DVMs and RVTs to become licensed in California in order to deliver life saving spay and neuter services and other medical procedures.

As a part of SCIL’s continued work on this important effort, yesterday we brought together Animal Balance, a provider of high-volume spay and neuter services, and members of the California Veterinary Medical Board (VMB) to walk through the licensing process required for out-of-state DVMs and RVTs to become licensed in California. The goal was to demystify the application process and identify any bottlenecks.

Such a great holiday gift!
Your plate funds spay and neuter!

Call for Applications for funding from the Pet Lover’s License Plate!

Apply at www.cdfa.ca.gov/spayneuter/

The goal of the California Pet Lover’s License Plate continues to be realized. The plate, which hit the road in 2013 and was created by Judie Mancuso, Dr. Gary Michelson, and Linda Starr among others, including the support of Pierce Brosnan, who donated his artwork for the license plate, was designed to sustainably fund low cost and free spay and neuter programs throughout California. If you do not have the plate, please confer buying at the dmv website under specialty license plates.”

We are thrilled to announce that the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) will be granting out approximately $500,000 in funding for the 2025 Pet Lover’s License Plate Grant Program (Pet Lover’s), which will mean after this round over $2.35M dollars will have been granted out for spay and neuter surgeries!

Applications are due by 5pm on December 2, 2024.

We are so excited to be at & .
While we are here working in 90 degree heat, this reminds of us why we work so hard to raisei funds for spay and neuter. 

Right now in Sri Lanka, we are funding a spay and neuter & vaccination event to help with their overpopulation. They are in a crisis. We are so honored to be able to dive into areas that need our help.

We thank everyone at the festivals and
for your support.

This is your donations in action! 

Thank you so much for allowing us to make a difference in the world. ❤️ 🐾

Please attend or call in on zoom to the SPECIAL Kristen Hassen commission meeting on Tuesday night at 5pm at City Hall 

Background info 🤔

LA Animal Services Commission did not vote to hire Kristen Hassen.  The LA Animal Services Commission is a governing body BUT Jacqueline Hamilton ignored the commission and hired her as our safety consultant!  👎

Kristen Hassen helped create Human Animal Support Services- known as HASS.  HASS supports managed intake.🚫

Los Angeles, Riverside and Dallas are all HASS shelters!  These 3 shelters are now in crisis and  Kristen, who parted ways with HASS, is NOW the PAID consultant to clean up the mess of all 3 of these HASS shelters! ‼️

(Wrap your head around that one, right?! )😿

Sadly the animals are ones to suffer from all of it!  💔

Kristen is named in a lawsuit from a dog that attacked an adopter.  Seems quite relevant to discuss at the meeting since Kristen is our SAFETY consultant!  💥

Kristen has been advising Staycee Dains as a consultant for MONTHS now when all the new restrictive rules on volunteers with "rescue only*  and confusing level 1 -5 policies on dogs were instituted. ❌

Please call in on zoom for public comment and ask Kristen to show us her success at a large municipality such as Los Angeles.✅

Kristen was on the panel that selected Staycee Dains, and was working for months along side of Dains so let's see her strategic plan!  We can not allow her to stall with months of committees and more meetings.  🔙

By now Kristen should know the issues and present her strategic plan!💯

Check out Kristen' Hassen's safety bucket protocol article from 2019. Let's see how much of it is duplicated in her plan. ⁉️

Her article is on LinkedIn. 

ZOOM INFO FOR TUESDAY ‼️

Or Dial (877) 853-5257 and use Webinar ID No. 899 9686 3520 and then Press #.

Press # again when prompted for participant ID.

https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89996863520

The Board will hear public comments related to the agenda item after the completion of the
presentation. You will get 2 minutes to speak.

Please speak up for the animals this Tuesday. They have no more time to waste!  🐾🐾🐾

What will it take for the mayor's office to actually listen to us. We told you that hiring a consultant would do nothing but more harm, and here we go. The first move of our paid consultant Kristen Hassen was to move the South LA puppies and little dogs that get adopted the fastest out of sight from the public into a community room out of viewing reach, unless escorted.
Well guess what?? Now they're all parvo exposed together

What was the purpose of this in the first place? What did it accomplish but get everyone now exposed and can't be adopted.
You just made your own overcrowding worse!

Jaqueline Hamilton what are you doing?

Stop the madness now!

Listen to your own community and volunteers.

This is your fault

911 Foster needed! Don't let her go back to the shelter‼️

Reposted
🚨FOSTER URGENTLY NEEDED🚨

Oni is currently at the ER, and we need a foster for when she is released so that she doesn’t have to go back to the shelter in this condition. She is currently resting at the ER and has oxygen and fluids as well awaiting further testing diagnostics. As our previous post explains, she had a URI which has developed into pneumonia. She is fighting hard.

Sweet Oni needs a home to successfully recover. She needs a foster with no other pets because of her illness. Please let us know if you can foster! We hope she can be released tomorrow.

If you can’t foster but can donate to her care, please visit our link in bio for Venmo and PayPal. We are so grateful for anything you can contribute 🙏

Easy to support! ‼️

CALL TO ACTION!

One of the key components of SCIL’s sponsored ACR 86 was a call for more free or low-cost spay and neuter programming. In order for those programs to operate efficiently, there is a great need for veterinarians who are proficient at doing high-volume surgeries.

Senator Wilk’s SB 1233 directs the two California veterinary schools to create high-quality, high-volume training programs.

Right now, we need all rescue organizations to please sign up to support SB 1233 on our How-to-Help page. It’s easy and quick... all you need to do is fill in the information and upload your logo and signature. We will do the rest!

PLEASE SIGN YOUR RESCUE ORGANIZATION UP TO SUPPORT SB 1233 BY JULY 19th AT THE LATEST!

We received a call last night from an emergency hospital about Chloe, a 7 year old Chihuahua, who was brought in by her dad who requested her to be euthanized. The man couldn't afford treatment. The dog was bleeding externally and they were not sure why, so the dog needed radiographs, an ultrasound and blood work.
Sadly we also found out that the owner of the dog has stage 4 cancer.  His was overwhelmed

We were told by the staff that Chloe's dad loved her, but he had his own financial hardship with his cancer diagnosis and didn't know what else to do, but to euthanize. 

That's where Take Me Home stepped in and helped cover the treatment costs. 

We hope Chloe and her dad have much more time together

LA Animal Services Commission Board Meeting Minutes :
In their own words about refusing to take in HEALTHY ADULT CATS‼️

We all said they are turning wonderful animals away as their strategy to get their numbers down‼️

Get ready for tons of roaming stray animals in a city near you! I wonder how many lawsuits will arise from people getting mauled around Los Angeles by packs of strays⁉️

Dead animal pickup in sanitation will sure be busy with so many animals suffering on our streets and hit by cars‼️

Great job 🐾😥

Does anyone know what the cat policy now is in Los Angeles Animal shelters? Does every stray cat need an appointment?

This super friendly cat was literally dumped out of a car in front of South LA shelter. Thank God a cat trapper saw the terrified cat running up and down and stopped their car. The people who dumped the cat saw the trapper trying to coax the cat, and actually stopped their car to help the trapper get this friendly cat. They then told the trapper that they dumped the cat because the shelter was closed and wouldn't take it‼️

Does anybody know what the cat policy is a year in to Stacey Daines being general manager? We think that's a fair question ⁉️

This just happened in the past week. 🐾
