DOGS OF DOWNTOWN: July 2011

Welcome....

Welcome to Dogs of Downtown where we showcase our wonderful four-legged friends who live and visit the Downtown Los Angeles area.

Downtown Los Angeles is home to more than 13,000 dogs who live in lofts, apartments, houses and hotels. As Downtown continues to expand and grow, so too will the number of pets. Downtown Los Angeles is unique in that most lofts and residential buildings allow dogs - most without breed/weight restrictions. This attracts many people who own or wish to own a dog to move into the area. Couple that with the increasing number of world class restaurants, activities and nightlife and it becomes clear why Downtown is one of the most desireable and fastest growing areas in Los Angeles.

Dogs of Downtown strives to show-off our incredible diverse mix of dogs who walk the streets, play in the parks and hang out at restaurants. We hope you enjoy it!

Chris - Hedgehog

Chris, aka Cranky Chris, is a pygmy hedgehog who isn't really all that cranky! He just woke up from his daily sleep and is ready to face the night. He's quite friendly and loves his kitten food crunchies! He is covered in spines that are stiff but not sharp like a porcupine's. When threatened, he rolls up into a ball, tucking his face into his tummy. Adorable isn't a strong enough word to describe this baby!!

Braxton - Pommeranian/Boarder collie mix

Braxton is a 1.5 year old sweet heart who just lights up the room! Notice the bright smile!

Buster - R.I.P. 1996 - 2011

Buster is one of the first dogs I met when I moved to Downtown in late 2001. He lived in my building and I would love it when I would bump into him in the halls or around the neighborhood. He was quick with a smile and a tail wag which would warm your heart. The corner of 4th and Main Streets will be a bit emptier without you little man, but we are so lucky to have known you!
