Our mission is to provide critical support to dogs pulled from the West LA shelter, ensuring they receive the medical care, boarding, and training necessary for a second chance at life. We prioritize dogs currently at risk in the shelter, extend our care to those who have been adopted or owned from West LA, and commit to the ongoing welfare of all dogs under our care.
Los Angeles Animal Services is currently facing a crisis due to the overwhelming number of homeless and abandoned animals in the city. Shelters are often at capacity, struggling to provide care for the influx of strays and owner-surrendered pets. Factors such as overpopulation, lack of affordable spay and neuter programs, and insufficient public awareness about adoption contribute to the issue. Many dogs face euthanasia due to limited space and resources, especially larger breeds and older animals. The crisis underscores the need for community involvement, fostering, and adoption to reduce shelter overcrowding and give these animals a chance at a better life.
Big Dog Energy (BDE) is stepping in to make a difference. BDE is dedicated to supporting West LA Shelter dogs by providing funding for urgent medical care, behavioral training, and temporary boarding. These resources help prepare dogs for life outside the shelter and give them the best chance of finding a forever home. By focusing on these critical needs, BDE aims to ensure no dog is left behind.
