Remember Me Thursday®, the global awareness campaign that shines a light on pets abandoned to shelters and rescues, is now entering its fifth year. On Thursday, September 28, 2017, you can be a catalyst for change by getting everyone you know on social media to discuss pet adoption and share the Remember Me Thursday® message.

Hurricane Harvey continues to cause catastrophic flooding in southeastern Texas and has moved inland unleashing further deluges over Eastern Texas and Louisiana. The floods have displaced tens of thousands of people and inundated hundreds of thousands of homes, leaving countless families, service animals and household pets without anywhere to live.

Adorable puppies Lenny and Squiggy are the two latest additions to the Heigl Hounds of Hope, our internal rescue group which saves vulnerable dogs from high kill shelters in Southern California. The pit bull and chihuahua duo have quickly become the best of friends!

LA Animal Services is holding a special "Free The Shelters" event this weekend at venues across the city. "Free The Shelters" is a no-fee adoption campaign that will take place from Friday August 4th through Sunday August 6th, and will feature over 1000 homeless animals from four Los Angeles City shelters.

Recently, we were once again faced with that decision pet owners everywhere know all too well. You may remember a couple of our social media posts about Henry, our “fospice” Heigl Hound of Hope. Henry came to us nearly two years ago from a busy Los Angeles area shelter where he was observed having seizures.

Show your support for the campaign to end puppy mills by joining our friends at Hearts United For Animals and the Lincoln Animal Ambassadors this Mother's Day, for a picket to honor the mothers of the pet store puppies. Help put an end to substandard commercial breeding facilities that operate with an emphasis on profit above animal welfare.
