The Glamour Shoot Days at both the Baldwin Park Shelter and the Downey Shelter have produced adoption rates in excess of 96% for the animals we photographed.
Baldwin Park Shelter
Pets Networked: 1,810
Pets Adopted/Rescued: 1,744
Pets Euthanized: 66
Adoption Rate: 96.3%
Downey Shelter
Dogs Networked: 1,858
Pets Adopted/Rescued: 1,788
Pets Euthanized: 70
Adoption Rate: 96.2%
Without the efforts of UHA and other rescues, approximately half of the dogs entering the shelter may end up euthanized.
Our dedicated volunteers photograph and videotape shelter dogs every other weekend so people like you can see how wonderful they are! This effort improves their chances of adoption from as low as 50% to close to 95%, but we need more supplies and financial support to help keep this amazingly effective process going.
We support the Baldwin Park Shelter's efforts to adopt out dogs by regularly compiling a detailed and attractive list of Adoptable Animals, which we network online and to other rescue groups, and also by uploading information about specific dogs to website like Adopt-a-Pet and Petfinder to increase their chances of finding a forever home.
An animal who is dumped at the shelter has it hard enough. But injured and sick animals have it even worse. They have almost no chance of being adopted by a member of the public—and the chance of them making out of a high kill shelter alive is very slim. These are the animals that have been abused and neglected or hurt and these animals needs a some additional help—they need an angel on their side.
Lancelot will forever be remembered for his brave struggle to survive an insurmountable illness believed to have been a brain tumor. We rescued him near the end of his life and despite all our efforts, he grew weaker and weaker and finally refused to eat. See Lancelot's Story.
