LA Animal Services gladly accepts your donations to help us care for animals, increase adoptions, and make our LA a more humane City. 

Most donations are made to the Animal Welfare Trust Fund, which is a trust account set up to enhance the quality of life for shelter animals by funding animal supplies, medical equipment and improvements to animal care centers.  Donations to the “Big Fix” (Spay/Neuter Trust Fund) help provide low cost spay/neutering services for pets in low-income households and funds our mobile spay/neuter clinics.   Two additional special funds that accept donations are the Foster Program, which trains volunteers to provide temporary homes for neonates until they are old enough for adoption, and the STAR (Special Treatment and Recovery)   program which provides medical treatment to severely injured, abused, and neglected animals rescued by Animal Services.  Donations made by mail or directly at an animal care center can also be donated specifically for use at one of the animal care centers. 

All donations are tax-deductible under IRS Code 170(c)(1) because LA Animal Services is a department of a municipal government.  You may donate by cash, check, or credit card by visiting one of our local animal care centers, or you can mail a money order or check to the Administrative Office, payable to LA Animal Services, 221 N. Figueroa Street, 5th floor, LA, CA 90012.

Better yet, if you wish to use a credit card, you can donate right now on-line.

Even if you cannot make a financial contribution today, there are other ways you an help. Our animal care centers always need blankets, newspaper, and other items.  Check the websites of each animal care center for more information.  And of course we always need volunteers!
