Pets of the Week: Lacey & Duke
Lacey is a 7-year-old domestic shorthair. She's an affectionate and extremely smart gal with a big personality. Her favorite activity is to open all the cabinets in the cattery because she loves to perch in high places and supervise all of the activities. She gets along well with people and other cats. She'd love to be the one who greets you at the door when you get home!
Friends of Animals Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill rescue dedicated to the loving care and thoughtful placement of homeless dogs and cats. For information about the adoption process contact foala.adopt@gmail.com or call (310) 479-5089. All adoptable animals can be seen at Friends of Animals Foundation website.
Duke is a 7-year-old male German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP). His own recently moved and Duke is no longer getting the attention and exercise he needs. Duke would like a companion who has lots of time to spend with him. In fact, Duke has a bit of separation anxiety, which is not uncommon in dogs. Consult a trainer for tips on dealing with this issue. If you work from home, are retired, or a stay at home mom or dad, then Duke is the perfect dog for you. Duke doesn't demand as much exercise as younger GSPs; he's content with a walk, hike, or just playing fetch for a short time. He does love spending time with his humans and is a cuddle bug. He is perfectly content sitting on the couch with you while you watch a movie. He seems to enjoy comedies but has shown interest in chick flicks, too. You can read more about Duke at California GSP Rescue's website. More information about adopting including applications are available online as well.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
