Animal Samaritans "Improving the Lives of Animals and People"

Animal Samaritans was founded in 1978, and is a leading 501(c)(3) no-kill animal shelter, full-service veterinary clinic, and comprehensive outreach animal welfare organization committed to “Improving the Lives of Animals and People.”

Animal Samaritans relies on foundation grants and the generosity of individual and corporate donors to protect and save abused and abandoned animals; educate stu

dents and the public about the importance of humane treatment of animals through our Humane Education Program; provide Animal Assisted Therapy to patients in hospitals, residents in assisted living facilities and nursing homes, as well as the disabled; offer financial assistance programs for pet owners on a limited income, discounts to our active and retired military, and low-cost high-quality veterinary care for all pet owners.

Meet Billy Bats and his sweet siblings. These fluffballs are just 10 weeks old, full of cuddles, and ready to find their forever homes.

Catch them this Saturday at our DOGust Birthday Bash + Bingo event at Kimpton Rowan Palm Springs Hotel. Big thanks to our event sponsor, Flood Response Restoration Services, for making it possible—all proceeds directly support our shelter dogs. We also want to thank the Cruz Eberle Foundation for sponsoring the Puppy Play area and the wine.

Don't miss out on our Poorly Drawn Pets fundraiser going until the end of Dogust. For a $20 donation, our team will create a unique, hand-drawn portrait of your pet. Go to www.animalsamaritans.org/art to donate and submit your pet photo.

Thank you to NBC Palm Springs for having us on to share these special pups.
