Adoption Success Story Meet Little Foxy who came to the SEAACA shelter at six-weeks old as a stray. She had foxtails embedded in her skin causing inflammation and a massive infection; but after a little TLC, she was as good as new. Little Foxy was adopted by a deaf couple who quickly integrated her into their home. They have found her very helpful as she is able to alert them to a ringing phone, a knock on the door and other noises. And Little Foxy has found them equally as wonderful!

Meet Our Partners We would like to introduce you to Clinico, one of our partner organizations. Clinico is working to reduce shelter euthanasia by operating two affordable spay/neuter clinics in underserved areas of Los Angeles. Found Animals provides Clinico with ongoing financial and strategic support including a startup grant and microchips. We are currently recruiting volunteers to assist with Clinico's community outreach efforts. If you're interested take our volunteer survey.	Clinico Visit Clinico.org for more information.
Recent Events In August, we held our first free microchipping clinic at the Santa Monica Pet Preparedness Fair alongside the Red Cross and the City of Santa Monica. Pet owners lined up before our booth opened and by the end of the day, we implanted and registered almost 350 microchips!
