The team is so so kind, responsive, and truly communicative- which means everything when you're dealing with a sick or aging pet.

You can genuinely tell that everyone there loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously. I'm so grateful to have found a veterinary team that combines compassion, efficiency, and professionalism. Highly recommend

My wife and I genuinely love this place and have always enjoyed visiting. The staff is usually…read morefriendly, and it's clear they care about the animals. However, we've run into the same issue multiple times, and it's become frustrating. Whenever a new group of kittens arrives, it seems that staff members are able to claim or adopt them before customers even have a chance to view them or express interest. We've experienced this on more than one occasion, and it leaves us feeling like customers aren't being given a fair opportunity to adopt some of the animals that come in. I understand that employees may also want to adopt pets, but when customers are actively looking to adopt, it doesn't seem fair for staff to have first access while they're working. In my opinion, this is a policy issue that should be addressed to ensure everyone has an equal chance to adopt. We still like this place and appreciate what they do, but this is something that has significantly impacted our experience.

From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the kind and knowledgeable staff who took the time to thoughtfully explain the fostering and adoption process. The one staff member even gave us a mini tour to see their dog Simba who was the only one available for fostering at the moment. All the others were only available for adoption. Unfortunately, since I am only looking for small to small-medium sized dogs there wasn't a match for me yet. But it was so great to see the row of dogs held in this warmly heated section of the center who all had mini lifted cot like beds to rest on instead of having to lay on the cold floor. The facility was so clean, well-maintained, and heated, providing a comfortable environment for the animals, who were kept safe and warm inside this wonderful non-profit, no-kill center. The kitties are displayed right by the entrance so that your heart can view and connect with animals as soon as you walk inside their facility. I learned so much during my visit and felt inspired by the care and dedication of everyone involved. During my visit, they didn't have any small to small-medium sized dogs that I hoped for but I hope to go back frequently to check on their on going availability for incoming dogs to come. Crossing fingers. Overall, it was a splendid experience, and I'm excited to return soon with the hope of finding the perfect dog to adopt.

There is a reasonable adoption fee of $150 that covers medical care, food, and other expenses. Also included is neuter/spay. You can fall in love with a pet online, like I did! I came across a photo and profile of the world's cutest kitten (see photo) on petfinder.com, but you can also see them at billfoundation.org. I filled out an adoption application and spoke on the phone with the adoption coordinator as well as the foster mom. After approval, both of these women hand-delivered Marcello, driving all the way from the Valley to my Culver City pad. They gave me some food, bowls, and a few of his favorite toys. His sister came along to say goodbye to her brother! I was tempted to adopt her as well, but I couldn't at the time. It was evident that they cared for him very much. They checked up on us with a phone call a few weeks later. When I took Marcello for his first vet check up, the vet said he was incredibly clean and healthy for a former street cat (he was born on the streets!)-- no eye gook or other infections that are common with shelter or adoption agency kittens. He was quite impressed with his adoption agency. A month after his adoption the foundation contacted me to make sure I was neutering him soon. I was able to take him to their vet at no cost to me. My kitty was fixed in 90210! What a great orginazation doing great work for homeless animals! These are animals that may have otherwise been picked up by animal services and to a shelter.

Well, here's a review from a constant supporter and active adopter from the Bill Foundation, still,…read morelong after their deciding to close, The beginning with the long fostered Beatrice and Dante, they came into our lives, after the loss of our Winston and Tabitha after 18 years. Beatrice and Dante were welcomed into our hearts, even with Dante's severe aggression that required many months of patience, and my loss of blood on many occasions until be felt safe and loved. They shared their unconditional love for Elsie and I for far more many years that others could have expected because of their prior extended foster care that this organization stepped up and provided after their deplorable life at the hands of cruel breeders, these two specials angels became our life companions. Then shortly afterwards, The Bill Foundation urgently called Elsie with a very special young lady, Judy. Judy was a vibrant lovable darling little girl attached to Elsie's hips for her entire stay with us until her passing 17 years later in 2020, it was a remarkable relationship for both. After Beatrice and Dante had sadly passed our home was needing companionship, we found our way back to the Bill Foundation, and eyes met, hearts pounded, and the long and continuing love affair between Larry and Pippi which continues today, yet years after Pippi's short six years and her passing Larry still grieves for her love. Its the compassion of people like the Bill Foundation, though no longer assisting with the compassion needed to respond to the needs of those most needing the love , affection, to be protected, safe, warm, fed , provided the needed medical care, they have been sadly missed for the past years, however, they set the goal for those of us especially supporting the necessity of rescuing rather the supporting the breeding puppy mills. That so called "ugly" dog or cat can give you the upmost and greater unconditional love and affection then any special breed costing a small fortune. A sixth star is needed for FANTASTIC.

Her behavior also turns a revolving door of employees & volunteers, which again the dogs suffer from as they do not receive proper advocacy. Many of their adopt-a-pet profiles are outdated or untruthful. When confronted with this in good faith to improve, it was made clear dishonesty is by design. While I wish the best for the dogs in their charge, a novice adopter or foster should stay far away.

The foundation also encourages more humane treatment for dogs worldwide and also assists dogs domestically. As part of this initiative, she opened the Vanderpump Dog Rescue & Retail center in Los Angeles. 100% of proceeds from sales & adoptions go to the foundation. They also offer grooming services. A few years ago, a friend of mine adopted a dog from here - a beautiful tripod chihuahua mix. She was happy with the adoption process and loves her little princess. I was having dinner next door and stopped in to check the store out. As expected, the place is meticulously perfect and the décor is bougie with lots of cute plush dog toys & merch. Off to the side is a section where the fur babies that are up for adoption reside in posh play pens with white picket fences. There is also a nice area on the rooftop where potential adopters can spend quality time with their future fur baby. The staff here are very friendly, and I got to meet one of the pups named Meatball as he was on his way out for a walk. Thank you LVP for your dedication to helping our furry friends. *Metered street parking
