Desperate Animal Situation

An update from the SFV crisis

By Maryann Hammers

Last week, I told you about animals in the SFV that need help. I know you care, so I thought I’d offer a status update. Bottom line: Many, many, adoptable, healthy animals still need your help – NOW. Here’s the update from a local animal activist:

Many animals have been taken in by local rescues. We have also received generous donations of Frontline Plus so all the animals remaining on the property have been treated for ticks and fleas. But unfortunately there are 100 animals still in jeopardy of being destroyed at a city shelter.

On June 11th the court proceedings related to the foreclosure of this property will be judged. The court may require the animals be surrendered to animal control immediately. More than 100 animals must be relocated before that date.

CATS - Most of the remaining cat population are friendly, HIGHLY adoptable, and quite healthy considering the circumstances. Many are really desirable breeds: Siamese, Bobtails, American Curls, Orange Tabbies, and more! Can you take a cat? Do you know someone who can? Click here for photos of cats still in need.

DOGS - The small dogs have been placed into rescues or adopted, but there are a couple of medium and about three dozen large dogs that still need help! There are six Rotties or ROTTIE mixes, a purebred SIBERIAN HUSKY, a purebred DALMATIAN, several PITS and Pit mixes, a few TERRIER mixes, and more! Click here to see photos of the dogs in need.

These animals are living on borrowed time. Animals need foster homes, permanent homes, and donations. Transportation will be provided.

If you can help or if you have questions, please email julianne1030@peoplepc.com or call 323-718-1648.
