The two main funds that L.A. Animal Services accepts donations through are:

The Animal Welfare Trust Fund
and
The Animal Sterilization Trust Fund.

Funds may also be donated for specific programs and services and shelter operations.

LA Animal Services has developed and will continue to develop programs designed to reduce LA’s euthanasia rate as we increase our live animal placement rate through adoptions, our New Hope program, by returning lost pets to their owners, and by humanely reducing feral cat populations in our neighborhoods.
