Fostering a dog for LAAS. She's gorgeous and so loving. If you want to help an animal, there are good rescue agencies and volunteers to help you

Great place to adopt an animal.. I got my cat, name is Seal (adoption today) they have lots of animals that need Tlc and a loving home, specially in these post pandemic times.. My guy is 6mts old and has the most cuorius personality of all cats and he has a very high energy

Best place, friendly volunteers and staff. Animals are clean and well cared for. The volunteers and staff truly want to help find the animals good homes without being snobs or breathing down your neck not allowing you to interact with the animals. Love this location best adoption experience.

So I was not going to go to this shelter from the reviews. It also is not in the best area. But I am glad I did. I rescued my new GSD puppy here recently.

First off. I went to about 5 animal shelters in LA county. The animal shelters are being bombarded with dogs. Many of them are pregnant, senior, GSD, pit mixes. Then they are understaffed even with volunteers. They all seem to be doing the best they can under the circumstances.

It was difficult to walk by and see so many dogs. Some were crying. I am sure they did not know what they did to deserve being dumped.

I wanted a puppy and also a GSD or at least a GSD mix. Luckily there was a GSD puppy that was recently surrendered. The staff was kind and so helpful. (Also understood my giddiness of getting my new puppy!)

I understand that puppies are more fragile because they are not fully vaccinated, but I wish there was a better meet and greet place where the puppy could get put on the ground instead of being just held.

The one major negative was the people that checked me out where I paid. They were abrupt to the point of being rude. If the other staff treated me that way I was treated at the pay spot, I would have left.

So please look past the shelter reviews and go look to rescue a dog that needs you (and that you need) no matter the shelter.

I’ve been trying to surrender my dog due to me being unable to keep him per landlord request. I’ve called them over a dozen times from multiple different numbers trying to get a date to do it or simply someone to pick him up and every time I sit on hold for hours or I don’t get a called back about someone coming to pick him up. When I do get a call back I can only get a few words in and then get placed on hold until they hang up in my face. I can’t get evicted from this place and they are playing with my time. It’s been MONTHS for me calling. Ive been trying my best to hid him but this can’t go on forever. It’s unfortunate that I have to surrender him but they are not helping or making this situation no better. this is the only place that will service my area.

I like this shelter because the volunteers are truly dedicated. They do an amazing job taking care of the rabbits, hamsters, and Guinea pigs. Also, the cats are looked after well. I see they walk the dogs around. It’s hard because there are many large dogs that need to be adopted. Definitely a shelter to check out and find a pet and rescue it. I found my rescues here. They are my angels.
