Did you know there is a big problem here Los Angeles? There are too many homeless dogs.
The Bill Foundation (Beverly Hills, California 90209) wants to tell you all about it because it needs your help to solve this crisis. Right now, only 30% of lost dogs are reclaimed by their owners; the other 70% only have a 20% chance of finding a new home. Most are euthanized because there is simply no room.
While the problem may seem overwhelming, The Bill Foundation, like many grassroots organizations across the country, has chosen to face the problem head on. Working locally in Los Angeles, its goal is to place healthy, adoptable animals in new and loving homes while aiding in the fight against pet overpopulation. The Bill Foundation also helps care for those animals less fortunate, those who need a little more time to get their health back or who may have behavioral problems requiring advanced training before going to a new home.
These dogs are real. The volunteers who go to the shelters to rescue the dogs are haunted by the faces of the dogs they must leave behind. The Bill Foundation relies on donations to continue and expand its work. Every dollar contributed brings it closer to the day when no dogs are left behind to be euthanized.
All contributions go directly toward the foudnation’s modest operating expenses and the care of its animals: shelter fees, veterinary care, boarding, and equipment.
The Bill Foundation usually has between 30 to 60 dogs available for adoption. If you are thinking of getting a new friend, please consider adopting a rescue. Eight to ten million dogs enter the shelter system each year. There are dogs of all ages, sizes,and types. In fact, 25% of the dogs found in shelters are purebred dogs.
And remember, if you have a pet or know someone who does, get it spayed or neutered to help end the vicious cycle.
