We had a very disappointing experience at Pet Orphans of Southern California. We adopted a dog…read morethrough spcaLA and were referred there for his neuter procedure, which was required as part of the adoption agreement. The issues began at drop-off. I arrived on time at 8:30 a.m., but there was a long line of owners and dogs waiting outside. Many of the dogs appeared to be puppies, fosters, or newly adopted pets still adjusting and difficult to manage. I waited approximately 20 minutes while trying to control my 65-pound dog. When I reached the front, staff said they had no record of our appointment and asked, in an unprofessional manner, whether I had completed the intake form that was supposedly emailed to me. I had never received it. I was then handed paperwork to complete on-site while continuing to manage my dog in a crowded environment. On the form, I disclosed that my dog had been experiencing chronic diarrhea since being picked up as a stray, that we were actively working with our veterinarian to identify the cause, and that our veterinarian had cleared him for surgery. Staff then told me they would not proceed if he had diarrhea. I explained that this condition predated the adoption, that the neuter was required by the shelter, and that we had already obtained veterinary clearance. Staff repeatedly went back and forth between me and the veterinarian before eventually presenting a high-risk consent form. The communication around this was especially concerning. When the form was presented, I was told that by signing it, I was accepting that if anything happened to my dog, it would be my fault. I understand that additional risks can exist, but this was handled in a dismissive and inappropriate manner. If the clinic had sent the intake paperwork in advance or reviewed the medical concerns beforehand, this could have been addressed prior to my driving an hour from West Adams to Van Nuys with a dog who does not travel well. I was also disappointed that additional charges were presented for items such as an e-collar, pain medication, and IV fluids. For a required adoption procedure, these added costs felt excessive. Pick-up was similarly poor. When my dog was returned, a staff member commented, "Make sure to take care of the diarrhea because he still has it," despite our earlier detailed discussion of the condition and treatment plan. While loading him into the car, I noticed feces on his cone, tail, and legs. This suggested he had soiled himself and had not been adequately cleaned before discharge, which was both upsetting and concerning from a sanitation and post-operative care standpoint. Overall, this experience reflected poor communication, lack of professionalism, and inadequate attention to patient care. I would not return to Pet Orphans of Southern California and would not recommend this clinic to others. I also plan to share this experience with spcaLA so they are aware of the concerns regarding this referral partnership.

It's a tough situation to be in, no money and a dying dog. I just noticed so many poor reviews, I…read morehad to leave my own. I was going through a financial crisis due to my dog becoming sick. I spent a couple months and several thousand dollars at multiple vets. Several different diagnosis and a final diagnosis of a huge mass in his intestines. Surgery, due to the multiple diagnosis, x-rays, ultrasound exams, medication and weekly visits was now not an option. I was also told he wouldn't survive a Surgery nor could they tell me exactly what it was. I called Kinder, explained my situation, what I had available in cash and credit, they said come right now. When they examined him, he couldn't walk, wasnt eating anymore. I asked if they could do exploratory Surgery. They took him in, opened him up and removed an obstruction, saved his life. This was a $6000 Surgery. I paid $2800. Uther lived a long and amazing life for a bully dog. I'm thankful for the care. Nobody will care the way Kinder does. Long waits outside, poor parking situation, rough customer care, whatever! My dog had the most loving incompetent care, no money too bad so sad. My dog is more important than my sensibilities.

Places like this are truly a blessing, and they deserve our support because without organizations providing this level of care, countless animal rescues and pet owners would struggle to get the help they need. I am especially grateful for the kindness you showed me during one of the most stressful and heartbreaking times I've faced. When my dog needed surgery, I was devastated and unsure of what to do. My dog is family, and the thought of losing him was overwhelming. Your team went above and beyond to help make his care affordable and ensure he received the treatment he needed. Thank you for your generosity, professionalism, and genuine compassion. The work you do changes lives not only for animals, but for the people who love them. I will never forget the support you gave me when I needed it most.
