Pets of the Week: Ivy and Willow & Night
Ivy is a 50 lb, 5-year-old sweetie. She's a Wheaten Terrier/Bearded Collie mix who is quite curious and is completely comfortable around everyone. She loves all dogs, especially small ones and quickly takes on the role of Mama with them. She's incredibly gentle and loving with all that she meets. She has a lot of energy and would do great in a home with another dog or two, and with a family that loves to exercise their dog(s) mentally and physically. She's incredibly smart and loves training! Ivy's a big fan of water and will probably love to be a swimmer. Kids adore her and she certainly adores them back! She doesn't mind people poking around her ears, mouth or paws and is very patient and gentle especially when someone has treats she desires.
If interested you are interested in Ivy, please go to the Bill Foundation websiteand fill out an adoption application.
Bill Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue that works together with local shelters, rescuers, veterinarians and trainers to save dogs in dire situations and place them into forever homes. Relying solely on donations, Bill Foundation does not have an endowment, nor do we receive funding from any city, county, state or federal sources. Every dollar contributed brings us closer to the day when no dog is left behind.
Meet Bill Foundation's adoptable dogs every Sunday at the Healthy Spot in Santa Monica.

Willow and Night are each about a year and a half old and have lived their entire lives together. Willow is a beautiful Siamese mix who is very sweet but also very shy, unless she is in the presence of her sister. Night is sweet and loves affection, and is Willow's loyal counterpart. These two beautiful ladies are joined at the hip. Voice for the Animals would love to find them a home together; they would make a wonderful addition to any family. Both are fixed, micro-chipped, up-to-date on shots, and in great health. Call Alex at (310) 392-5153 for more info.Voice For The Animals Foundation is devoted to creating respect and empathy for animals through education, rescue, legislation, and advocacy.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
