THE AMANDA FOUNDATION
Save A Life!
310.278.2935
Non-Profit Federal ID #51-0183667
| All donations are fully tax deductible!!
| Was founded in 1976 and has since placed
thousands of homeless animals. It is a nonprofit
organization that rescues dogs and cats who, through no
fault of their own, are spending their last days at City
and County Shelters |
The
Choice
| When rescuing animals
from the pound, Amanda volunteers can never leave with a happy
heart. Due to a lack of funds, for every orphan we adopt, we must leave many more behind
to face an unnecessary death. Their faces haunt us for days
and months to come. We choose not only the purebreds who
are readily adoptable, but also the older ones, the shy and battered
ones, the mothers nursing their litters, the ones whose eyes tell
us they have no chance.
The rescue of an older animal is
more often than not a revelation. In many cases the
pet who has become resigned to his fate turns out to be
leash trained, housebroken and most important, already
spayed or neutered. He obviously has fond
memories of having at one time belonged to a caring
guardian, and once removed from the anonymity of the
pound, he is readily placeable.
|
The
Care
| Our
adoptees are taken directly from the shelters to
veterinarians where they are given any necessary medical
treatment, including initial inoculations and
boosters. Adults are then spayed or neutered.
When puppies and kittens become of age, they will be
altered by the Amanda Foundation at our expense. |
Volunteers
| Dedicated
volunteers give the shy and mistreated orphans special
attention and spend hours daily walking frightened and
insecure dogs and petting and reassuring the timid
kittens and cats. It may take weeks before some of
our animals are ready for adoption, but we feel that
loving care and rehabilitation are worth every hour
spent. Volunteers
are always needed at the Amanda Foundation, and we have a
special need for foster homes for mother cats and dogs
with kittens and puppies. Please call
(310)278-2935.
|
Training
| Sometimes,
the only home our pets have ever known is a lonely back
yard. This can sometimes lead to behavioral
problems. If necessary, we will provide a trainer
at our expense to take care of any problems which may
arise after adoption. Our aim is to keep both
pet and owner happy and living together harmoniously.
|
Funding
| The Amanda
Foundation desperately needs your help. Private contributions are our only means of
support. We urge those of you who truly love
animals to go to a shelter and adopt an orphan. You
will be amazed at how many healthy adorable pets are
waiting there longing for a home. However, if you
are unable to face the agony of the shelters, please
contribute to the Amanda Foundation, and we in turn will
rescue and place an animal on your behalf.
|
The
Motivation
| Every
year, Los Angeles County's 28 shelters are forced to
destroy well over 200,000 pets. These animals were
either strays or brought into the shelters by their
owners. We believe they all should have a second
chance, and we will work tirelessly to rescue as many as
possible. |
Special
Acknowledgment Program
| For $25 or
more, commemorate a special occasion; birthday,
anniversary, etc.; or perhaps the passing of a beloved
companion. We will send a personal card plus a
photo of an orphan you have helped rescue in their
honor. For information call (310) 278-2935. |
