The Lange Foundation rescues dogs, cats, and even livestock, giving them a "halfway home" between a city shelter and their forever home. Officially, the Foundation began in 1993, but its roots go back much further. Gillian Lange has worked to help impounded animals since 1974, earning the City of Los Angeles St. Francis of Assisi award in 1980. The organization rescues dogs and cats of any health condition or age.

A Halfway Home Kennel located on "veterinary row" on Sepulveda Boulevard in West Los Angeles works to place the 80 cats and 30 dogs it is capable of holding. Meanwhile, in Santa Clarita, the St. Bonnie's Sanctuary, located on a one-time horse ranch, has room for yet more cats and dogs. That 4.5-acre facility has rescued 43 horses since 2008.

In addition to these two facilities, the Lange Foundation runs a shelter intervention program, providing medical care, food, supplies, temporary boarding, and dog training fees in order to enable animals to stay with their owners rather than be surrendered to the pound. According to the Foundation, their initial program in Lancaster and Palmdale was so successful that they began another in San Bernardino and, more recently, in South Los Angeles. The South LA Intervention center opened at 8:00 am and by 8:20 had helped a tearful homeless woman get emergency veterinary treatment for her dog.

The Lange Foundation's rescue centers are where true animal-lovers should put their dollars. The money goes straight to animal care - unlike the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). These organizations use the lion's share of their money for salaries, marketing, and lobbying for "animal rights" legislation, much of which hurts pet owners and consumers. If you want to donate to an animal-related organization, pick a local shelter like the Lange Foundation and not one of these large and misleading national organizations.
