A Call to Our Community
Our mission to get animals seen is facing a new hurdle. As we were preparing to launch, the public data source for animal listings we rely on is being shut down. But this is a community effort, and with your help, we can find a new path forward.
Help Find New Partners
Do you work at an LA-based shelter, a rescue, or are you a developer with data ideas? We'd love to connect and find a new path forward.
Share Our Mission
Share our video-first mission with anyone who loves animals. The more people who know, the faster we can find a solution and get these pets seen.
