Our new building
Rewrite every shelter story...
For many, a visit to the animal shelter is one of the saddest experiences they’ll ever have.
With your support, we’re going to change that.
Trailblazing a path forward ...
At the Amanda Foundation, we take pride in being trailblazers. We partnered with the LA City to establish the nation’s strongest spay/neuter ordinance, tackling overpopulation at its roots.
Now, we aim to create systemic change once again—this time in how facilities are designed and how they care for pets.
Transforming animal shelters...
Every dog and cat deserves a safe, loving space to heal and find their forever home. Unfortunately, city- and county-owned shelters are mandated to build on tight budgets that prioritize cost over comfort, creating overcrowded, stressful environments that hinder healing and adoption.
That’s why we’re creating a state-of-the-art shelter to set a new standard for animal care—one that inspires hope and provides a loving, uplifting space where dogs and cats can thrive and is a pleasure for people to visit.
Your donation will build...
This innovative, transformative space that will feature:
- A welcoming community space that inspires adoption
- Special zones with noise reduction to help ease anxiety
- Indoor-outdoor areas designed to feel like home rather than a holding space
- Educational seminars to help pet owners keep their pets instead of surrendering them to a shelter
- Critical medical care for animals in need
- A secure area to house dogs and cats during disasters and emergencies
But we need your help.
