LASD Parks Bureau Deputy Saves Dogs and Cats from sure death

Los Angeles County Parks Bureau, Deputy Brittany Fraser, has been passionate about animals for as long as she can remember; occasionally saving a stray dog or cat.
Deputy Fraser has been assigned to Parks Bureau since 2012, and realized that there are a great number of stray and abandoned animals in our County Parks. While on patrol, she has rescued some of the animals found in peril in Los Angeles County parks. Also, Deputy Fraser devotes some of her off duty time searching for stray animals.
Out of Deputy Fraser’s fondness for animals, Brick Animal Rescue was born. The following is an example of a few things Brittany and other volunteers do at her Rescue:
After all possible efforts are made to contact the animal’s potential owners, the animals are bathed, rid of fleas, worms and ticks, vaccinated, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered. Some of the animals receive veterinarian treatment for mange, broken bones, etc. Each one learns basic commands, get his/her own collar, and is fed a healthy diet. They are temperament tested and socialized with people, kids and other pets to help determine suitable homes and re-establish faith and trust in people. When physically and emotionally ready, the animals are shown, and eventually adopted out to families who will provide them a lifelong home.
To date, Deputy Fraser and the other volunteers have helped a little over 100 animals, including 43 out of our county parks. In the United States alone, the number of healthy adoptable companion animals euthanized every single year is in the millions. Despite these devastating numbers the volunteers remain positive and focusing on saving one animal’s life at a time! Deputy Fraser said, “we can all do our part by spay and neutering, and making adoption our first option”!
Several people that visit the parks have commented about how pleased they are to see a Deputy Sheriff’s help with some of the stray animals.
