Everything was so easy! Highly recommended - I can't say enough how responsive, kind and sweet Reyna at Miracle Dog Reacue was in the adoption process with my new pup "Dozer". She was in a lovely foster home and seemed very comfy and at ease there, which made her transition to my home very, very smooth and easy. Paperwork and such was a breeze as well, couldn't have gone any more smoothly or seamlessly - so glad I was able to work with Miracle Dog Rescue! read more

Update - Clover started going into heat despite already being spayed when I adopted her from MDR. I discovered she had ovarian remnant syndrome, meaning one of the ovaries was accidentally left behind by the vet in Mexico who spayed her. I contacted Reyna who went out of her way to take responsibility and help. She took Clover to a specialized vet herself, stayed during the procedure, and covered the costs. Though this was not an ideal situation, what's important is the way it was handled - Reyna really cares about her rescues. I'll be forever grateful to MDR for bringing the sweetest most wonderful little girl into my life. read more

It's taken me a couple months to write this review and I'm glad I waited. My life has been made so much happier and fuller since adopting my dog Ginia from Miracle Dog Rescue. I was worried my family would not be a good fit for any dog because we tend to be quiet homebodies. The description of Ginia seemed too good to be true, a low energy dog who didn't mind a low energy home? Reina said she thought we'd be a good fit and she was so right. Ginia has lived with us for just over two months. She's a dream. Quiet, calm, loving, so cute! Reina knows how to match people to dogs! Thank you to Reina and Miracle Dog Rescue for bringing us this sweet little girl. read more

I adopted a young abandoned lab mix from miracle dog rescue in 2020. It turned out she had autoimmune problems so I have been spending thousands every years on her. She was also not spayed as noted on her adoption papers so that's extra vet office visits.. I recently contacted Miracle Dog bc I needed their help to rehome the dog due to constant violent aggression towards my other dog the past 2-3 months. (Their vet advised to separate them to keep them alive!!) No replies. Just ignoring all my messages even though I could see they have been read. Very irresponsible and unprofessional. read more

We recently adopted a dog from Reyna at Miracle Dog Rescue and just wanted to say that we love our new dog, Benito. He's the sweetest boy and he is already a wonderful part of our family. Reyna was so easy to deal with and very straightforward. She had all of his paperwork in order which is very helpful. We signed up with other rescues but feel Reyna had a personal touch that we appreciated. We feel so blessed to have Benito in our lives. read more

Reyna was wonderful throughout the whole process. She had kept her word on making sure that Canela aka Antonella would be coming home to our family. She kept me up to date on her well being and her travel here to California. I couldn't have asked for more. Our family is so happy to have such a sweet baby in our home. Thank you Reyna, the foster family and everyone that took part in this. We are truly grateful. read more

Amazing resource for saving beautiful dogs. Reyna takes such great care of them, and the whole process is very straightforward!

Lovely experience adopting. We saw Lula on Petfinder and called Miracle Dog Rescue to inquire. They asked questions of us and our home and we learned more about Lula. Reyna offered that we could meet the dog in LA (she was being fostered in Mexico) and once we met her if we wanted to take her home we could and if not they would keep her here in LA and find her a home. So it was low pressure and we had an opportunity to meet her before making a final decision. The description of Lula was spot on in terms of her personality, her size and the images were great so we could fully see what she looked like. They provided paperwork for her medical history and shots, as well as a small bag of the food she had been eating so we could help transition her to a new food slowly. Excellent experience. Thank you Reyna. read more

Prompt, caring, efficient, and great communication. I contacted Reyna Cruz after finding this dog's pic on Petfinder. I got a prompt email response, and Reyna called me on the phone to provide me with the most heartfelt story of this dog, and to make sure we were a match. Their company immediately drove the dog from Ensenada and I picked him up from bell gardens the next day after we spoke. Reyna was very upfront about his past and his insecurities. I am so impressed how they going to great lengths to make matches for these beloved animals. Ricky Ricardo is so so thankful so be saved and reminds me all the time. He now knows what it's like to be cozy and loved. read more

There are just not enough ways for me to express my gratitude and appreciation for all the good works that the Miracle Dog Rescue do. I am over the moon happy with our new furry baby. She is everything we prayed for and everything as described in her description. Lord knows the world needs more people to step and do all the wonderful works that this rescue does for dogs. I don't feel like we just adopted a new dog, but rather a new friend as well. May God bless and thank you so very much xoxoxoxo read more

Absolutely the best Pet adoption experience ever. Reyna truly cares and understands the importance of a good fit and works amazingly hard at that goal. Fostered pets come carefully vetted with detailed vaccination/medical history. Please seek her out in your next adoption! read more

This is long overdue! We adopted a Schnauzer from this place 8 months ago from Reyna. Though she may be a standup individual, the location where she gets the dogs from are shady at best. Our dog ended up having Kennel Cough, had other blood & health issues that we had corrected. In fact, they lied about her being spayed. She went into heat and was bleeding drops of blood everywhere and that is how we found out. She also had a hernia as well. We had to have an exploratory surgery done with our vet. They fixed her hernia and spayed her because she had both of her ovaries. We didn't trust that the shots were done in Mexico after all that has happened. Therefore, we had all her shots given as well. Furthermore, instead of costing $500 that we originally paid to adopt our Schnauzer, it costed us $2,800 after all said and done. We are thankful that we've had our original vet for over 30 years and his prices are reasonable or it would have costed a lot more. This happened over the first 4 months of receiving her. Luckily, we caught all the issues early, especially the cough and the blood issue and had it all corrected or she may not be with us today. She is now very healthy today with no thanks to Miracle Dog Adoption. The only thing that was truthful is Reyna did in fact insert the microchip in our Schnauzer. I recommend if she is going to continue her business, to cut her ties with the people she is dealing with in Mexico because they are very dishonest. There is more to this story, but this is the overview of everything. read more

We first found our rescue dog online at adoptapet.com. The dog was available via Reyna at Miracle Dog Rescue. Reyna communicated well with us throughout the adoption process. She understood both the animals needs, as well as our preferences. Reyna was caring & friendly, and acted in a professional manner. We are extremely happy with our new family member. She is a perfect match for us and we are fortunate to have her. read more

Reyna was wonderful and the adoption process was very easy. You can tell that Reyna really cares about each dog and wants to ensure that they have a happy home. We are so happy with the dog that we adopted and he fits right in with our family. Ricky loves to play and cuddle and we are delighted to have him in our family. If you are looking to adopt a dog, I highly recommend Miracle Dog Rescue. read more

We adopted our dog from here and recently learned that she was not spayed or microchipped even though we had been provided with paperwork that "proved" she had. The papers are fraudulent. Our vet confirmed that our dog is still intact and they cannot find a microchip anywhere. Now we have to arrange and pay for those procedure ourselves, plus deal with all the paperwork to correct the fraudulent ones. Beware! Read the one-star reviews here. Believe them. This place may get enough positive reviews to overshadow the bad ones, but go in with your eyes open. read more

We adopted our dog, Patito, through Reyna just this past weekend. All of our experiences with Reyna have been positive, kind and thoughtful. It is clear she is a good person to people and dogs alike and takes her duty of matching dogs and homes with the highest responsibility. Her communication is excellent, in terms of promptness and clarity. Our dog was originally called Lorenzo and when I first reached out to Reyna about meeting him, she let me know there was already someone scheduled to meet him and if it fell through she would get in touch. Lucky for us, she let us know the previous window closed and we were next. I couldn't meet that same day but she promised that I could meet Lorenzo before she arranged any new meetings. She is extremely fair about giving adopters a window to properly meet and adopt the dogs in her care. Lorenzo was every bit the dog that was described to us and we are loving getting to know him more as he adjusts and realizes he is in his forever home. He was clearly well cared for. Reyna provided us all the paperwork (including passport!) and really made the process frictionless and easy. She gave my 3 children the opportunity to play in her yard with the dog when we first met him and they immediately fell in love. Thank you Reyna for helping our family grow with our little Patito. read more

This is a very overdue review! I found my pup through Petfinder, emailed Reyna, set up an appointment, and met this cutie pie. It was love at first sight.

The process was super easy compared to other rescue agencies! Highly recommend. read more

Her name is Luna and we are so lucky that she chose our family to be apart of. read more

Dishonest, unreliable, uncommunicative. Wasted hours of our time driving across town only to find out the foster wasn't home because of an "emergency." The owner was vague and offered to bring the dog to us but didn't follow up. The dog is now listed as Adopted. Sketchy behavior all around. I'm surprised the place has so many good reviews given how unnecessarily difficult this process has been. read more

I can't recommend this dog rescue enough! Reyna was absolutely incredible to work with--informative, responsive, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire process. We rescued a dog named Emma (who we've since renamed Sophie) as a birthday surprise for my child, and Reyna made everything so smooth and special. She went above and beyond by sending photos and videos of Sophie leading up to the big day, which made the surprise even more magical. She was supportive, helpful, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she rescues. If you're thinking about adopting, Miracle Dog Rescue is definitely the place to go! Sophie is now living her best life, being spoiled, traveling and adventuring with her new best friend! read more

We have a lovely dog however they told us she was spayed when that was not true. A pretty basic thing to misrepresent.

I adopted Brystle aka Pinky at the MDR in 2012. I lost her last week from a brain tumor that caused her to seize uncontrollably. I love her so much and brought so much joy to my life the past 13 years. She showed me how she loved me so much. Our instant bond happened the moment we met. There was no warming up or adjustment period. She just immediately knew I would be her forever daddy. I'm so heartbroken right now because of her passing. read more

Our family has been blessed Lalo. We saw his story on Petfinder and just fell in love. Reyna is the person we connected with the adopt him and she was amazing.

Lalo has a new home and is starting to get comfortable and his demeanor after having a forever is an encouraging change to see. I would definitely adopt from this rescue again. They were so helpful providing all the paperwork we needed. Thank you! Miracle Dog Rescue. And thank you Reyna! If you're someone thinking of adopting a rescue please do! read more

Reyna is an angel that does heart felt work saving many dogs from a terrible life in Baja. Many dogs in Baja are treated badly, they aim for them with their cars, leave them outside on rooftops along with starvation and so many other perils. The works they do in Baja to spay and neuter, flea protection and vaccines and then have drivers to bring these sweet angels back to find loving homes and allow them to have a great life. So grateful for Reyna for devoting her life to these innocent animals. She is one in a million. If you are looking to change the world adopt, and help change the world one animal at a time. Please know Reyna is so kind that she will gladly take an animal back, her adoption fee is low and the money goes to take care of others with medical, food and other needs. read more

Oh my goodness!! I cannot say enough about this amazing Rescue and the woman who runs it (Reyna Cruz)! I have been looking to adopt a young, small dog and I have gone to every Animal Shelter within a 25 mile radius of my house looking for a small (15 lb), female, short hair, young (1 yr) dogs When I found one that I though might be good, every shelter made the adoption process such a nightmare of red tape to get approved to adopt; so time consuming and difficult AND expensive. I finally found Miracle Dog Rescue on- line. I looked at the dogs they had posted and fell in love with a few of them. I emailed the center and I got a response within 24 hours. Reyna spent a lot of time with me on the phone sending me photos, videos and answering ALL of my questions about the dog I was most interested in. She is PERFECT, the process was quick and simple and I am madly in love with my new forever pup!! Thank you Reyna for EVERYTHING! Such a great experience!!! read more
