It's so hard to believe a New Year is upon us already!
Here's our very special Wish List for 2012:
We wish......
That Domino's surgery is a huge success;
That our Guardian Angel is just around the corner with funds to rebuild our little Shelter (Where are you all you Hollywood types?!);
That every pet has a forever home;
That everyone spays and neuters their pet - not only to prevent more unwanted homeless pets but for their health, too;
That children become the future pet guardians that we hope they will be and end homeless pets forever!
We wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year!
Meet Domino!
He's our special boy who's in need of eye surgery -
'Dom' has an old 'tom cat' injury to his left eye and we owe it to him to repair it. He's such a love and a truly handsome boy with his 'domino' fur coat. If you'd like to donate towards Domino's eye surgery he'd truly appreciate it!
And if you'd like to adopt this special boy that would be even better! (You can meet him in person in our 'Meow Manor'.)
(We just saw the Eye Doctor - Domino will have two pre-surgery blood tests and if everything is in order he can be scheduled for his surgery.
The approximate cost will be $2,500. So far we've collected $1,503.00!
There is nothing better than the joy that comes from
giving a forever home to one of our dogs or cats!

A recent ad in the Los Angeles Times stated that
The Humane Society of the United States,
and the ASPCA,
do not contribute to, or fund, local Humane Societies.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE!
We do not receive any funding or support what-so-ever
from either of those organizations.
As a small, private, non-profit Humane Society, we rely solely on donations
from the public, adoption fees and clinic services,
and income we derive from animal control contracts that we have with four local cities. The State of California requires all stray animals to be held for a period of 3 days, in the hopes of reuniting lost pet and owner. The cities pay a fee that covers only those 3 days to shelter stray animals that animal control officers pick up in those cities. After the 3 day hold period, the San Gabriel Valley Humane Society is responsible for all costs of sheltering the animals. And as you know, we give every pet the opportunity for a chance of a new forever home much longer than 3 days, and the costs are in excess of $20 per day per animal!
Please, please, please support your local Humane Society.
We really need you!

our new blog.
The torrential rain storms of 2010 and the extraordinary windstorm certainly highlighted the dilapidated condition of the shelter. The collapse of the Sanctuary roof, major damage to the Mini Meow Manor Cat Habitat, and damage to the heating unit of our Big Dog Kennels - and the subsequent media attention -
resulted in an outpouring of community support.
Thank you to all who responded in our hour of need.
Plans are underway to rebuild our Feline Adoption Center
and Canine Adoption Compound.
We are approaching our 88th year, and we want there to be many, many more years to care for, and shelter, so many homeless dogs and cats hoping for a second chance.
PLEASE, won't you help make our new shelter a reality?
