Donate to a Miracle Medical Fund to Support Pasadena Humane Society
Sweet Maple arrived at Pasadena Humane in horrible shape. She was covered in ticks with a severely infected laceration across her neck. She was lethargic, feverish, and dehydrated. On top of it all, the poor girl was fighting a painful bacterial infection. They aren't sure how she ended up in this awful state, but they knew that Maple desperately needed their help. Their veterinary team acted quickly, manually removing around 100 ticks from her tiny body. She was then rushed into surgery, where they cleaned and repaired the infected wound on her neck. With fluids, medications and a lot of love, Maple finally began feeling like herself again. Ensuring that every animal like Maple can make a full, speedy recovery takes so many resources. Your gift today to their Miracle Medical Fund will help to provide animals like Maple with the lifesaving medical care that they need to survive.

Donate to Support PAWS/LA
PAWS/LA is dedicated to preserving the human-animal bond for the most vulnerable, disenfranchised pet guardians. More than twenty (20) research studies conducted over the past ten (10) years document the positive correlation between contact with animals and improved emotional outlook and health stability. For impoverished pet guardians the additional expense of caring for their companion animals is a burden they are only able to bear at a great personal price. In order to provide for their cherished companions, particularly in emergency situations, they often sacrifice their own medicine, food and other essential needs. This usually provides only a temporary “solution." PAWS/LA steps in to bridge the gap between pet companionship and relinquishment. Consider these numbers in Los Angeles County: 1 out of every 7.6 residents lives in poverty. Approximately 900,000 pet owners live at or below poverty level.Average annual cost of pet care is $9,000. Cost of pet care is among the top 5 reasons for shelter relinquishments. YOUR DONATION CAN HELP their FAMILIES! Visit: https://www.pawsla.org/why-pawsla.html
Donate to PAWS/LA’s Wishlist
Thousands of low-income seniors and individuals with life-threatening illnesses in Los Angeles rely on the unconditional love of their companion animals. They struggle to meet their own basic needs and have a difficult time providing basic care for their pets.

To meet the great demand for pet food, toys, bedding and other necessities, they rely on caring neighbors like you.

After your third monthly payment you will receive an 8"x10" photo of your "Wild One", and a Certificate of Adoption signed by Tippi Hedren. When you visit on Parent's Day a member of the Shambala animal crew will be happy to tell you about the characteristics of the species and the individual personality traits of your special animal.
