Animal Advocates Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Saving the world one animal at a time

Animal Advocates is a non-profit animal rescue and education organization. We are located in the Los Angeles County area but serve most of Southern California.

We work with local city and private animal shelters, schools, private groups and other rescue organizations to rescue and rehabilitate wild animals. We are permitted by the California Department of Fish & Game. We specialize in coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, opossums, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, moles, voles, gophers, wild mice, wild rats and bats. We don't rescue birds.

If you need help with ill, injured or orphaned wildlife outside of the general Los Angeles area,

See photos of the animals we've rescued which have been seen on CuteOverload, Daily Squee, icanhascheezburger, the LA Times and in books, movies and gallery shows.

We operate solely on donations. The number of animals we can save is directly related to donations. You can paypal us by clicking this button. Any amount would be very, very appreciated.

We educate the public about domestic animal issues such as spay/neuter, proper pet care, pet health and pet guardian etiquette. We also educate about wild animal issues such as living in harmony with nature, what to do if you find an orphaned wild animal and how to keep wild animals healthy and happy.
