THE BARKING LOT …San Diego , CA

www.thebarkinglot.net

The seed for The Barking Lot was planted a few years back when I took in my first foster dog, Patti Cake, in hopes of making a bigger impact by helping my favorite furry friends. Before I knew it, I was put on some rescue email list and received an email stating, "This dog to be put down on Tuesday at 3pm". I was utterly horrified and jumped into action figuring out how I could save her. Well, I did and I'm glad to report Raspberry (my nephew named her!) is living happily in Encinitas to this day! After getting her adopted, I thought, "That wasn't so tough." And so it goes...over 500 dogs adopted into loving home and 2 1/2 years later...we are now creating The Barking Lot.

As well as being wonderful companions, dogs are amazing teachers and we've learned so much from them...first and foremost that they all deserve a chance at a better life and their behavior will balance beautifully if their needs are meet and good leadership is applied. These pups will be the most grateful creatures you've encountered. We rescue our furry friends from area shelters, humane societies and Mexico as they are at risk of being euthanized and/or abandoned.

The pups are fostered in our homes in order to create the same type of environment into which each will be adopted. We strive to meet each pup's needs in terms of exercise, socialization and basic manners, including potty training.

We are a small organization with a handful of key volunteers and we are just getting started as a 501c3 non-profit, so we're looking for more volunteers to add to the fun and reward! We need both people and donations to help our furry friends, so we'd be grateful for either. Please contact Stacy @ sparmer@san.rr.com.


Friends of Animals Foundation in Los Angeles, CA .

www.foafla.petfinder.com

We are a no-kill shelter founded about 25 years ago to take in and care for dogs and cats regardless of their age or if they have been disabled in some way. This has often put us in a position of creating larger than normal vet bills and housing pets that aren't considered the most adoptable, but we try not to turn anyone away if we can help it. We are just about 100% volunteer run, except for our kennelmen and are always looking for volunteers to socialize our pets while they are waiting for new homes. At present we have about 60 dogs and 60 cats looking for homes so pretty much at our maximum capacity - especially since the housing crisis hit and people are losing their homes and giving up their dogs and cats.

We specialize in Persian, Himalayan, Siamese, Ragdoll, Tonkinese, Maine Coon, Bengal, British Shorthair & other rare breeds! Some of our cats are purebred, some are 'copycats'(mixes) and some are neither. They are all special and deserve to be in a loving and dedicated home!

The funding for Regal Felines is a result of generous donations, adoption fees and various fund-raising activities.

Zara's List Animal Rescue
www.zaraslist.com

We focus on saving dogs and cats who are in the shelter and we primarily take from high kill shelters. All of our animals live in foster homes and are evaluated in the foster home for temperament and ability to reside with dogs, cats and kids. Our purpose is to make the best match for the family and for the dog and hopefully place our fur-friends in lifetime homes.

We save lives by folks who open their doors and foster these beautiful animals until they find their forever home. If you want to make the greatest difference in saving a life, then consider fostering. Many families are at their limit in their permanent fur members but taking in one temporarily saves that animal's life for a lifetime. http://www.zaraslist.com/foster/index.htm

Our rescue takes in the needy, the neglected and those who are often most discarded by society. Through some wonderfully talented vet work and caring folks many dogs are restored to wholeness. If you'd like to help us continue to save those ones check out the work we are doing at http://www.zaraslist.com/icuward/icuwardanimals.htm

Sammie's Friends

http://www.sammiesfriends.org

The mission of Sammie's Friends is to provide medical care for the animals at the Nevada County Animal Shelter. This care makes them adoptable. We accept donations to pay for medical care for the animals. The county will only pay for emergency medical expenses up to $100 per animal. Many times the animals have conditions which keep them from being adopted and yet the condition is not considered an emergency because it is not life threatening (i.e. demodectic mange, broken legs and hips, amputation of legs, respiratory infections, foxtails in the ears and nose and many more conditions). If these conditions are not cared for, the inevitable is that the animal will be euthanized because no one will adopt them in the condition they are in.

Animals often come to the shelter because they are strays and have been abandoned by people who should have cared for them. Many of these animals have medical problems. In 2006, Sammie's Friends spent over $61,000 to provide medical care and support for 82 cats, 110 dogs, 1 bunny and 1 horse. With your continuing donations, we can help even more animals in the future.

Pet Rescue By Judy

Pet Rescue By Judy is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue cats and dogs. Many of them come to us with medical needs. They are doctored to the best of our ability and resources. We do not have a shelter, but, instead, house our rescued animals in private homes until we can find loving homes for them.


Obviously our most urgent goal is to rescue animals that are abandoned or in distress, update their vaccines, and find good new homes for them. But we attempt to be more proactive than that. It is our heartfelt desire to prevent any animal from the need to be "rescued." With that vision in mind, we take a three-prong approach through the education of pet owners and the general public about:
- proper care of animals, including correct diet of good quality food, fresh clean water, daily exercise, and lots of love
- spaying and neutering companion animals (dogs and cats) in order to prevent euthanasia and over-population
- low-cost spay/neuter clinics and wellness centers in their local community


The Paw'd Squad Animal Rescue

Our website is www.pawdsquad.org.

We rescue unwanted and abandoned animals, provide them with medical care, rehabilitation and foster homes until caring, adoptive homes can be found. We spay and neuter prospective pets and educate owners about the importance of pet population control. We educate and help caretakers maintain healthy feral cat colonies with a goal of population control and placement of socialized cats and kittens in permanent and loving homes.

Ultimately, we believe no animal should go unloved.

Besides patrolling busy streets, back roads, beaches and canyons for lost, injured and abandoned animals, our animal control officers also sell dog licenses, conduct humane investigations whenever cruelty to animals is suspected, provide emergency rescues during natural disasters, and enforce all state and local animal control laws.
