Lifesapet: A new L.A. pets site
Caryn Klein lives in the South Bay and has three dogs and tree cats -- "all rescues," she points out.
And now she's launched Lifesapet, a new web site and blog focusing on helping shelter and rescue pets find permanent homes.
"I am a passionate animal advocate, shelter volunteer, website designer and a technician's assistant in a local animal hospital," she writes. "I live and work in the Los Angeles area and I am owned by three chihuahuas and three cats."
About the new site: "We network animals from local shelters and rescue groups in Los Angeles using social media sites, email rescue groups and the internet so these animals have a better chance at getting rescued."
They advocate adoption and spaying and neutering pets to reduce the number of homeless animals.
Among the stories featured currently on www.lifesapet.com is a disabled mom cat and her kitten (pictured below) that are in need of a special home and now staying at Redondo Veterinary Medical Center, 541 N. Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach (310-376-6056).
The site also lists stories about other pets that are in need of homes soon. Among them are "Dinah," a 6-pound chihuahua from a South Los Angeles shelter; a 15-year-old chihuahua dumped at the Pasadena shelter; and "Cutie Pie," a small chihuahua at the Carson shelter.

About the Bloggers
Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
