We are excited to announce that, in collaboration with LA Animal Services (LAAS) , the ASPCA and Best Friends Animal Society launched a joint, multi-year $14 million funding and operational support initiative to strengthen and enhance services at Los Angeles city animal shelters. This first-of-its-kind collaboration represents the largest combined investment by the two national organizations in a single municipal shelter system. “If we can help LA Animal Services — one of the largest shelter systems in the country — build a future where every animal receives the care, compassion and safety they deserve,” said Matt Bershadker, ASPCA President & CEO, “we won’t just be helping transform one city, we’ll be showing communities across the country what’s possible.” Through this groundbreaking proposal, LAAS will receive $7 million in grant funding from us and Best Friends to support 23 critical new staff positions, including expanded adoption and foster teams and specialists dedicated to community cat programs.…
