The Shelter Needs Your Help
We Are Over Critical Capacity
|
|
We are seeking adopters and emergency fosters! Our City’s commitment to Compassion Saves means that animals in our care can live and thrive. There are over one hundred twenty dogs at the shelter. There are no open kennels to take in more dogs. Dogs are in conference rooms, the lobby, storage areas, and offices.
To maintain our Compassion Saves model of helping those in greatest need, the sick, injured, and abused. We need your help to keep the healthy and lost pets out of the shelter by fostering, adopting, volunteering, and donating. If you are interested, please email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or apply to foster.
