Revisiting Susan Clark at Topanga Animal Rescue

One of my favorite pieces written for Topanga New Times (Deember 2020) profiles Susan Clark.

Susan continues to care for our canyon’s wildlife. At a recent Topanga Chamber of Commerce meeting, Susan said she’s gathering hard evidence to document mountain lion and bobcat death by rat poison.

When disaster strikes, be it fire, pandemic or economic crisis – it’s not only people who are displaced, injured and stressed out -- but also animals.



For the past 27 years, Topanga Animal Rescue (TAR), spearheaded by Susan Clark, has relocated a beehive, resettled a homeless swan, revived a dehydrated parrot, nursed a juvenile Great Horned Owl blown from its nest by high winds, and otherwise saved our pets and wildlife.

Contributions cover medicines, food, medical care and transportation. No salaries are paid to rescuers or to members of the TAR Board.


When not on a case, Susan is a writer and has published her work locally under “Tails of Topanga.” Very entertaining!
