She deserves a new loving home

Everyone, say hello to Shayne! This beautiful girl sadly came into our facility after her owner passed away. With no other family to care for her, she became a full-time resident at our shelter. She is a senior hound dog mix at around 8 years old and about 46 pounds. Despite her senior status, she is very much full of life. Shayne would love to find a forever family! Stop by the shelter to meet her today.

If you are interested in getting involved with Homes for the Homeless, we hold a board meeting every two months, with the next one scheduled for 𝟗:𝟑𝟎 𝐚.𝐦. 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟒, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 at the UC Animal Care and Control facility.

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰:
Homes for the Homeless is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that has been supporting the Universal City Animal Care and Control facility and its predecessors since October 1975……almost 50 years.

Fiscally, Homes for the Homeless is in excellent shape. Staffing-wise, however, we are hurting. Most of our board of directors (all unpaid volunteers) are over 70 years of age and we need “new blood” to not only come up with new ideas and handle social media, but to assume some of the few tasks that need to be done.

Its' Cold Outside

While it may not be snowing, it is still cold outside. It is recommended that pets not be left outside for long periods of time, however, if unable to keep your pet indoors, give them safe options to allow them to keep warm and dry.

Know your pets' limits. Not all pets tolerate cold the same. Be mindful of your pets age, health and breed and adjust accordingly. Small breeds, puppies or senior pets cannot tolerate extreme weather conditions.

All pets need proper shelter such as a dog house with the door faced away from the wind or rain. Provide your pet with clean blankets to provide warmth and make sure the shelter keeps them dry at all times. If you see your pet is cold and shivering, please bring them indoors.

Good morning Universal City residents. As a reminder we are expecting very cold weather this week, DO NOT set any traps. The weather is predicted to go below freezing.

Make sure to provide adequate shelter (3 sides top and a floor) with blankets to protect your pets from the cold weather. If possible, please bring your pets indoors.
Thank you for keeping our animals warm and safe!
