My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

LEON-URGENT-Help Needed

LEON is a handsome white Maltese/Poodle, about 7 years old, 12 pounds, who we saved from the pound. He looked pretty awful but he now has been cleaned and groomed, which really perked him up. LEON has a foster home, but is awaiting surgery. Many of the pups we get from the pound have been abandoned either because they were no longer wanted or because their medical needs were too expensive and people just did not want to deal with it. Sometimes they are found wandering the streets when someone saves them and turns them in to the shelter.

Even though we have rescue discounts from our wonderful vets, surgeries and special procedures and all the diagnostics are often insurmountable. LEON will need several tumors removed, that we think are not cancer, but invasive nonetheless. Like many neglected small dogs, his teeth and gums are in horrendous condition, and some extractions will probably be needed.

So we are hoping for a sponsor or guardian for LEON until he is ready for adoption.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

After completing an adoption application, speaking by telephone, and coming to see our pet (if qualified), we will visit your home. If qualified, we bring our pet for a two week trial period with an application and contract.

Go meet their pets

Our adoptable pets are boarded at kennels, veterinarians, foster homes and our friends' and family's homes. We sometimes also take part in Best Friends and Animal Planet adoption events. We recommend calling us to discuss your adoption needs. If it sounds like you would be happy and the pet would be happy, we can arrange for everyone to meet.
See our organization's info about our plans to purchase our dream animal sanctuary and humane education center---but not without your help.

More about this rescue

The Nature Network Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit no-kill federal tax exempt organization, publicly supported and existing entirely with the generous help of animal loving people. 100% of all donations are used directly for rescued animals. No expensive advertising, so salaries, no human "expenses".

We rescue mainly special-needs and senior dogs, cats, horses, other domestic pets, birds, and wildlife, mostly on their last day of life from Los Angeles area pounds, and we work with local wildlife rescue organizations to save wildlife and birds (injured or orphaned). We love animals very much, and feel there can never be enough help for all animals in need, or enough loving homes or enough birth control for the domestic ones.

We are currently seeking grants, donors and sponsors to purchase the animal sanctuary and education center we have found for the Nature Network in the Valley area of Los Angeles.

We are preparing to again produce and host a previously award winning television show about the rescue and protection of domestic and wild animals and preservation of natural habitats.

More information to come soon. Our website, www.thenaturenetwork.org is currently under re-design, and will be up and active soon.
