Our Website
Our website is thenaturenetwork.org. It is under construction beginning November 2006, through the generous donation of a corporate web designer. He will be designing a new look and completing our site in the coming months.
Our Featured Pet
Our featured pet is.... JAKE. Jake was rescued during what were to be the last hours of his life, from the South Central Los Angeles Animal Shelter. He was so overjoyed (he seemed to understand his predicament), that he used his right front paw like a hand and pulled open the gate of the meeting enclosure where we met for the first time, as if to say, "Let's get out of here!"
He was much taller and handsomer than his picture on the shelter website. He is a Great Dane, Pointer and Black Lab cross. Mom and Dad must have been whoppers! Because Jakey, as we call him, weighs 75 pounds and is as tall as a small Great Dane! Jake's vet exclaimed upon first meeting him, "What a dog!" Jakey is a little scared of people and other large dogs. He doesn't realize how big and impressive he is. So we enrolled him in an AKC sanctioned Kennel Club where he attends weekly obedience classes. His trainer is Walt Hanlon. And Walt used to have a champion agility dog who looked just like Jake. And guess what his name was? Well, of course......it was Jake! And guess what breed mix he was? Of course.....the same as Jake!. It sure is a strange world.
Nature Network News
Our recent news story is....
We rescued three wild animals in Woodland Hills within three days of each other:
Number One was a Pipperell Bat, the tiniest bat in North America. He was sleeping on the ceiling of an outdoor hallway at a middle school, and students were trying to wake him up by throwing things up at the ceiling.
Number Two was a teenage Opossum. The maintenance supervisor at the same school found her when she had fallen into one of the trash bins placed around the school campus. She was very dirty from her experience but cleaned herself very nicely after being rescued.
Number Three was a beautiful Black Rock Dove, a type of local pigeon.
She had a fractured wing. It was not bad, and did not need to be taped, so she is together with other doves and pigeons recovering from their injuries in a special aviary.
Our Upcoming Television Show
We are in preproduction on a wonderful new television show......all about animals and people. We have some fascinating and moving true stories to tell.
We produced our first show "Pamela's Pups & Company" in the early nineties on local cable television stations.
Our second show was called "Nature Network News"........120 half hour shows which were broadcast for three years in the Los Angeles area.
Who We Are
We are......A Nature Network, Inc., a 501c3 tax exempt federal non profit corporation. We are also a California State non profit corporation. We exist, function and are completely dependent on the kindness and generosity of donors who love animals of all kinds, both pets and wildlife.
We not only rescue dogs and cats on their last days at city and county shelters, and from starvation and injury on the streets of Los Angeles, but we also rescue many kinds of wildlife and birds that have been injured or orphaned, from around the Los Angeles area. We sure have some very unusual stories to tell! We have been listed on the Animal Help pages of the wonderful Pet Press free news magazine almost since its creation--for seven years. Many animals have been saved because we were contacted through Pet Press and took action.
We always need and welcome donations. We use financial assistance to pay for many large vet bills, special diets for older and sick animals, medications and medical supplies for wildlife as well as pets, kennel boarding (which is a minimum of $350-$400 per month per dog), top quality dog and cat food, dog training and behavior modification classes, and food, supplements, shoeing and board for our rescued horses. We also appreciate donations of blankets, towels, comforters, animal supplies and accessories, and items of value that we can auction at our fundraisers.
We are raising funds to purchase a 6 acre ranch in the San Fernando Valley which is perfectly set up for housing animals.........and the people to care for them too!
Adopting a friend
To adopt an animal......Just email us and tell us what you are looking for, what other types of pets you have, if you have children, and please also call us.
If we have a pet you would like to meet, we'd like to speak with you on the telephone before you come for a visit. This way we can be sure that you and the pet would make a good match, and save you a trip and valuable time if it would not. Most of our pets are currently living in a home or get to switch from the kennel to a home regularly to get them used to living inside. We always caution that the best house trained pets sometimes have accidents in the first few weeks at their new home, simply because they are unfamiliar with their new surroundings or don't know yet how to signal that they need to go outside.
We are always available for advice and counseling after you adopt your pet from us.
Come Visit Us!
You can get in touch with us.....by email, and by phone. We also always have an ad running in the Pet Adoption section of the Los Angeles Classified Ads section. Usually we feature several of our adoptable pets, but sometimes we focus on one special one.
If you have important or interesting information about pets or wildlife and would like us to feature it on this website, please feel free to send it in an email. We can also help you place your animal if you send us a picture with your email. We will screen prospective new parents. We do not however, have any room to house extra pets since we are already overflowing!
