Friends of LA Animal Shelters is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the helping of animals in LA shelters. The organization raises awareness about our large city shelter system (amazingly unfamiliar even to many animal lovers) and promotes the fantastic dogs, cats and other animals who temporarily call our city shelters home. FLAAS works to break down barriers to adoption which impacts our city’s homeless pets. FLAAS is a volunteer-run organization that funds life-saving surgeries and special projects for orphaned animals. Their goal is to increase adoptions and help the animals in our city shelters.

With a passion for animals, Bobby Dorafshar started training dogs in the late 1980’s. In 1990, he opened Advanced K9 Services, a training/boarding business he operated out of his home. It was important to Bobby, his wife, Kelly and their staff that every dog that stayed with them felt like they were at home, whether they were boarding for a few days or staying for three weeks of training. And just as important was that all Advanced K9 Services clients were treated as friends and that they felt comfortable with the personal attention and care that was given to their pets. Advanced K9 Services has become K9s Only and opened a larger, brand-new, state of the art facility to accommodate everyone’s training and boarding needs. Bobby designed and built K9s Only to meet your dog’s every desire. His passion for animals is evident in every detail. In addition to training and boarding, K9 now offers daycare services, grooming and wellness/day spa services. www.k9sonly.com
