ABOUT LONG BEACH SPAY AND NEUTER FOUNDATION: https://www.facebook.com/LongBeachSN/ Operating since 1997 and formally established in 2004, Long Beach Spay and Neuter Foundation (LBSN) is committed to reducing pet overpopulation and improving the welfare of animals in greater Long Beach, California. We are an all-volunteer, not-for-profit (501(c)(3)), no-kill cat/dog rescue group. We rely exclusively on adoption fees and donations for our operating budget of typically less than $50,000 per year, most of which goes to veterinary expenses. Every year we are forced to turn away more people and animals than we are actually able to help due to insufficient funds. Services we provide include: Low cost spay/neuter assistance and veterinary referrals Basic pet welfare services, including flea/parasite/deworming treatment and routine vaccinations Adoption services for cats and a limited number of dogs (although the latter is growing rapidly) Assistance with trapping stray and feral animals Educational materials to promote successful pet ownership Assistance to feral cat caretakers with spay/neutering and trapping We receive no tax dollars, no municipal, state or federal funds, and none of our members are paid for their time. Since 1997, we have placed thousands of homeless cats rescued from the streets and saved through community efforts. In 2012 alone, we facilitated the sterilization of 624 animals and thereby prevented the births of thousands of unwanted animals. In addition, we found homes for 122 animals and funded medical treatment for 57 cats and dogs. OUR MISSION: Our mission is to stop the unnecessary suffering of animals caused by tremendous pet overpopulation, especially in Southern California. We strongly advocate the spaying and neutering of all pets regardless of breed, sex, or age as it is the most effective way to limit the number of animals born into situations of inadequate care and/or abuse and to end the senseless killing of healthy animals by our animal shelter system. We support the transformation of Long Beach into a No-Kill community, where no healthy, adoptable companion-animal is destroyed. We believe the only way this can be achieved is through aggressive, proactive approaches that focus on programs that save lives, specifically spay/neutering, fostering, volunteering and educating. We also believe you cannot ignore the stray and feral populations and thus practice Trap Neuter Return (TNR) and subsequent feeding and care of these animals. Established in 2004, Long Beach Spay Neuter Foundation mission is to reduce animal suffering caused by pet overpopulation and to improve the welfare of animals in the greater Long Beach, California area. Specifically, we strongly advocate that all animals are spayed and neutered, regardless of breed, sex, or age. By spaying/neutering, we are reducing the number of cats and dogs born into situations of inadequate care and abuse. We are also limiting the numbers of unwanted animals relinquished to Long Beach Animal Care Services. where they are often euthanized for lack of space. This program offers spay and neuter assistance and basic veterinary treatment - including flea and parasite treatment and routine vaccinations - to needy or unowned animals, typically cats. It also provides humane education to community and civic groups on the care of animals and the importance of spaying/neutering in population control. The organization also has a limited intake, no-kill adoption program. Most animals are rescued from the streets. All animals are in foster homes. Animals are never euthanized for space. OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM: Cats and dogs that are rescued by LBSN are fostered in our own homes, so our caregivers have keen insight into the animals available for adoption. This includes insight into what kind of an environment, including food, toys, litter, and co-inhabitants (other pets, children, etc.), will make for a successful adoption and what homes should not be considered. We visit the homes of people that are interested prior to adopting out any animal and check veterinarian references for those who have previously owned pets. In addition, we perform a formal written and verbal evaluation of the potential adopter to ensure that our rescued animals are being placed in a loving, forever home that is best suited for both the adoptee and adopter.
