Join Us!
We kicked off 2020 with a big, loving outreach event called Homeless for the Voiceless. A successful outreach that we had done prior on the 4th of July holiday in 2019. The mission is to help some of the over 50,000 homeless people in LA with their pets while promoting a healthier lifestyle for the planet.️ We hope to put together another such outreach event in the near future!

Animals on the 4th of July
Every year between July 2nd and July 6th, there is a 30% increase in dog and cat deaths due to loud firework displays. Many pets run from their homes to escape the noises, and local animal shelters have to quickly euthanize dogs and cats to create room for the sudden intakes. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has over 50,000 homeless residents roaming the community, feeling lost and hopeless.
The SMAF hotline for reporting animal abuse and rescue needs has been a great success. SMAF is certain that with continued attention to the outreach billboards and websites, and the hotline will have an even greater impact in the future. This outreach has had a lasting effect on the homeless community and created a lasting reminder to pet owners to keep their animals inside for the 4th of July. We are extremely grateful to you for helping us achieve that.
