Story
IMPORTANT: The Nature Network Inc. is a small 501c3 non-profit no-kill organization. Most animals we rescue are abandoned at the pound, who no one wants--seniors and special-needs. 100% of all funds are used for them—extensive veterinary and medical costs, prescription meds, rehab, special foods, supplements, and more. Below, under our The Nature Network CONTACT INFO you can find a “DONATION” link. We are deeply grateful for help. To meet us, help us, or if you know people or businesses who would like to, please contact us at: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (Also our PayPal Giving email address for donation and sponsorship). Mailing: The Nature Network Inc., 3826 Grand View Blvd., #66790, Los Angeles, CA 90066. We are not like many larger non-profits who use up to 90% of all funds on expensive advertising, enormous salaries, social media, and human expenses. Our veterinary references are available upon request. PETER is an adorable little pup--dog friendly and people friendly. We think he is a cross between a Rat Terrier and Chihuahua, a very sweet and kind combination. Peter is a well-behaved 8 year old boy and is best friends with Little Man (see photo), his lookalike senior 13 year old gent pal (see photo). Peter is neutered, vaccinated, healthy, house-trained, loving, intelligent, and steadfast. He weighs around 8 pounds. To meet Peter and to find out more about him, please ask for him at: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (also our Paypal email address for donation and sponsorship)

He is very intelligent and cannot wait to find his forever home! we also accept walk ins from 10am-4pm every day of the week!
