Success Stories

View the story of Sandy, a 4-month old puppy who almost lost her leg and was supported by Friends of Long Beach Animals.

By Kate Karp

Since 2013 Fix Long Beach has been serving area residents with free or low-cost spay/neuter for their pets, vaccinations at a minimal charge and free microchips. Since the all-volunteer organization opened its figurative doors, it’s held mobile clinics in different Long Beach parks and has spayed and neutered over 12,000 cats and dogs and vaccinated and microchipped countless others.

ADOPTION UPDATE! We are happy to report that this sweet dog (Now “Rex”) that was found in Lakewood on July 26th has now been adopted! Thank you to Dr. O’Neill from Bixby Animal Clinic  for giving this lost pup a new forever home! ‍💛

Rex was found wandering around Carson street in Lakewood in July.   The entire community, and FOLBA came together to try and find this un-microchipped and un-collared pet’s owner.

FREE PET WELLNESS EVENT

Friends of Long Beach Animals has been reaching out the members of the Long Beach area community during the ongoing pandemic by offering subsidized adoption fees and community events.

On March 13th, 2021 FOLBA partnered with the Little Lion Foundation along with Live Love Animal Rescue and participated in the Free Pet Wellness Event whereby FOLBA and these other non profit organizations helped community members by offering free vaccines, microchips, pet gift cards, pet food, and more.

We love sharing adoption success stories! Remember Oliver, the found kitten who lost his mamma in a car accident?

Oliver (now Charlie) is now chillin’ in his new home with a big brother cat and is enjoying his new life. Thanks for adopting this once homeless kitten Andrea!

Sweet Ginger has snuggled her way into her new home. Our Bixby adoptions are finding super quality homes for the kitties.

Ginger was lucky to graduate from a small cage at ACS, where she languished since February, to a kitty-condo at Bixby Animal Clinic, and now she has a 3 bedroom house to herself in Bixby Knolls. Ginger’s new family are overjoyed with their new cat! Since, she is the only cat, she will be royally spoiled. She already has a large cat tree to hang out in, as exciting as a new treehouse to a child. We can all celebrate Ginger’s newfound happiness!
