The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA) is seeking the public’s help in wake of its current pet food shortage, it said Monday.
The nonprofit organization, which helps animals in need, is asking do-gooders to help replenish its pet food supplies after a variety of factors caused it to deplete. According to the organization, a proliferation of puppies, intakes from hoarding conditions and an increase in dogs surrendered by their owners have contributed to the food shortage.
“Hunger is a topic front-of-mind for many in our community. Animals are not immune,” Madeline Bernstein, spcaLA President, said in a statement. “Shelter pets come here hungry, malnourished, and often injured or sick. An essential part of their recovery is proper nutrition and feeding. We need help to keep them well-nourished and healthy.”
Those who are interested in helping can do so in a variety of ways, including monetary donations and pet food donations. The following spcaLA locations are accepting pet food donations:
- South Bay Pet Adoption Center — 12910 Yukon Ave., Hawthorne, CA 90250 | Wednesday-Sunday: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- P.D. Pitchford Companion Animal Village & Education Center — 7700 E. Spring St. (in El Dorado Park), Long Beach, CA 90815 | Wednesday-Sunday: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
