This little guy was rescued from the Harbor Animal Services but I call them the San Pedro Animal…read moreShelter. The first picture is my Ozzy boy now and the second picture is from our first evening together at a pizza place. His old owners surrendered him for being too destructive but he just needed to be inside and have a chewy treat. I named him Ozzy because he trashed stuff in the past like a rockstar and Ozzy Osbourne had recently passed. With a destructive label on his kennel card and his fear of people-- he was the small dog there the longest. He was shaking and so scared but I wanted to rescue a dog who didn't have much of a chance. Ozzy now knows many tricks, listens well, and is a loyal buddy. We are enjoying our first summer together by going to the dog beach and spending lots of time outside. Thank you to the workers at the Harbor Animal Services for picking out a good boy for me. Your team took good care when nobody else gave a hoot about him. If you're reading this and thinking about getting a new best friend (my 16 year old best buddy Sid died in 2025) please consider adopting a dog who nobody else wants. Ozzy is a superstar now!!!

I still strongly believe in adopting over shopping when it comes to dogs. I wanted to give an…read moreupdate on the dog we adopted from this shelter and how things have been going. He's an amazing cuddle bug who loves pets, car rides, and treats. We're still working on some toy possessiveness, but it has improved immensely from where it started. He's not a danger to anyone and has even been able to play with other dogs in small group settings a few times. We also fostered a dog for a weekend to help with potty training before it went to its new home, and our dog absolutely loved it. Scout has truly been the missing piece we didn't know we needed. He can be a little lazy at times, but he has so much personality packed into his small body. Adopting a shelter animal takes time, patience, and understanding--but time really does heal. Don't let initial behavioral notes or interactions at the shelter deter you from finding your perfect match--your fur friend, soul dog... or cat... or even a critter. We've even created a whole backstory for him, and we genuinely believe adopting him was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He gets so many compliments on how he looks, and he soaks up all the attention he gets from strangers.

I'm sure they do a lot of good work but I had a ridiculous interaction with a lady named Bonnie…read more I reached out to them to get help getting a recused stray cat adopted because I'm in no position to keep the cat and someone recommended that I contact them. Bonnie basically told me my situation doesn't matter and that I need to keep this cat because no one is going to adopt this cat(I thought help getting stray cats adopted was the whole point of their organization?). She kept repeating this so much and talking so much it was hard to get any of my words in or even to hang up. She told me even if I don't want to keep the cat, just lock the cat up in a room because cats don't need a lot of space. Uhhhhh is this really the best solution Pet Assistance can provide?

Everyone we talked to clearly cares very much about the cats they rescue. They keep a good record of the cats they care for.

OUTSIDE - lots of cool murals, looking through the window windows at the cats, a nice signage. Today we just window shopped because to be honest I have a cat already and I just didn't need another. If you want to go in and pet the cats, hang with them, in their little custom lounge area areas then it cost approximately seven dollars for 20 minutes or $20 for one hour. We didn't take advantage of these excellent deals. The window shopping is completely free and the murals outside are absolutely gorgeous.

Matilda *previously Denim* is healthy, sweet and has done great in exploring her surroundings in just 2 days with us. She has adjusted well to our bulldog, cat and bird. It is apparent she has had the proper handling and care with other animals and humans. She is litter trained and eating solids (prefers a mix of wet and solid.) Once again, thank you Shelby!

I was going through a lot and have a child and all the vets were full. Shelby got me a vet appointment and I didn't have to pay for it. She also got our cats diarrhea meds. I was still freaking out and she offered to foster them for me until they were better. This is not how most rescues treat you after you adopt a pet. Shelby truly cares about the animals she adopts out and it was worth every penny. If you are adopting a pet definitely contact them and consider donating because they do good work. Our cats have the best temperaments as well.
