If it were possible, I would give this location zero stars. My experience with the customer service…read moreon the morning of June 16, 2026, was extremely disappointing. I found the staff in the front office to be unprofessional, discourteous, and lacking the level of respect and customer care that members of the public should reasonably expect. Based on this experience, I do not plan to adopt from this location again. The interaction left a negative impression and raised concerns about the quality of customer service being provided. I hope management reviews these concerns and takes appropriate steps to improve staff professionalism and customer relations. This review reflects my personal experience during my visit and is intended to provide constructive feedback regarding the service I received.

I somehow got so lucky and found my little Mimi who is a full breed Yorkshire Terrier. I found her…read moreon adoptapet available at the Culver City pet smart through Shay's Strays. So many people were looking at her and wanted her that there was a lottery system where we all put our names onto sheets of paper and the first name called got first pick so it was fair and no one could get upset. Many of these puppies were adopted. At the time, Mimi was 1 of 2 full breed yorkies. She already had her first round of shots so we only had to get her 2 more parvo, etc. My experience here was excellent. Adoption costs were $850 with $50 refund if you can prove later down the line that your pup got spayed. After I spayed Mimi I showed proof that I obtained from our vet and got my refund from Shay's Strays. This was one of the best decisions of my life. Mimi is so incredibly well behaved, so smart, and I almost feel like Shay's Strays taught her how to sit and come here before I got her or she's just an incredibly smart yorkie. She also already knew her name! My fiance and I couldn't find it in our hearts to rename her because her ears already perked up to Mimi. I really do feel like they took really good care of their rescues here. Either way, I consider myself so so lucky and I cannot imagine my life without my little Mimi. Very very grateful for this place and highly recommend if you're in the LA area or in Culver City to please rescue your future best friend from here. Thank you!! I honestly feel like my life has been more fulfilled since we got Mimi from here.

I was told both verbally and in writing that I had seven (7) days to notify the rescue of any medical issues. Within that seven-day period, I notified them in writing that my newly adopted Persian cat developed yellow eye discharge, squinting, and signs concerning for an eye infection, which is not typical Persian tearing. I also notified the rescue of my concerns regarding delayed or limited access to medical treatment, as prompt veterinary care is important to prevent unnecessary suffering. Despite reporting the issue within the stated timeframe, I was informed that no veterinary costs would be covered, and that treatment would require returning the cat to the shelter rather than allowing local veterinary care. Based on the condition that appeared shortly after adoption, I felt misled by being told the cat was in "good health." While I am not saying this was intentional, the information provided did not align with my experience once the cat was home, which was concerning. I share this so future adopters can make informed decisions. Please be cautious, especially when adopting brachycephalic or exotic breeds such as Persians, which are prone to eye and respiratory issues. Clarify in writing what "good health" means and what medical support, if any, is provided after adoption.

They have provided everything I needed for him and more, from shots to microchip to neutering! Andy works the foster side and she is literally a lifesaver. Every interaction I've had with her she has been professional, compassionate, and friendly. There was a situation that I was pretty upset with and Andy perfectly de-escalated it and made me extremely happy. I'm a little embarrassed at how angry I was (and I never get angry), but she really did a great job of bringing me back down. I would highly recommend this place!
