Visiting the adoption center you can really feel how well cared for and loved the cats are there. When I went, Heather was so incredible, helpful and knowledgeable, and matched me with my soul kitty. They are true matchmakers there!! Through the adoption process you can tell they really want their animals to go to loving homes. Leslie was fantastic throughout the process, and was reachable for any questions that I had after picking up my cat. I cannot recommend Sante D'or enough, I'm forever grateful I decided to stop by the adoption center and found my Mango. Incredible people doing incredible work with incredible animals!

I find Santé D'Or's handling of Sheila's case deeply disturbing. According to Katharine's instagram…read more(@aboynamedsheila), she entrusted her emotional support cat Sheila to the rescue during a severe medical crisis, believing he would remain in care until she could recover. She says she repeatedly asked for Sheila's return, only to learn that he had been adopted by another family. Katharine's experience raises serious concerns about communication, transparency, and compassion toward people facing medical crises. A beloved emotional support animal is not something that should be taken out of someone's life without clear and compassionate communication. Please read Sheila's story and hear Katharine's account before supporting this organization.

Looking for a new companion for our Malinois that we rescued as a 6 month old and have raised to be a wonderful 6 and a half year old. We saw a dog online we wanted to see, so we called ahead to see if we could come see him. They sounded excited on the phone and told us to come on down! We got in the car and drove all the way across town. We get there and not 30 seconds after walking in we are getting a stern lecture about our prong collar on our Malinois, judging us without knowing about a Malinois or her story. The prong collar literally saved her life, it saved her from getting into trouble and is a fantastic training tool when used properly. Maybe don't judge people as they walk in the door. Then...the icing on the cake. The dog we were coming to see, WASNT EVEN THERE. Terrible experience, the gentleman working the front desk should try not being so judgmental of people. I grew up on a farm around working dogs, we know the breed. I feel bad for the dogs here.

Terribly disappointed with this rescue and what it claimed to represent. Adopted my sweet Brian from Leave No Paws Behind. I love everything that about LNPB, Toby saves the seniors and the animals that have a very small chance of surviving because she does not want them to die alone. Luckily she took a chance on Brian and he did survive and now is the most loving dog! Thank You LNPB!!

Toby is great to work with on any medical issues I've had while fostering and was so helpful when one of them was too sick to go on.

Adopter beware! I adopted a dog from PPR in 2019 and had to put him to sleep 1 month later because…read morehis mouth and jaw were filled with cancer. He had been in pain for a long time (at least 9 months, by my vet's estimate) but no one at PPR had looked in his mouth. Not surprisingly, he growled when someone tried to open his mouth, but no one at PPR took the time or effort to find out why this was.  When I asked PPR about the condition of his teeth (I was a remote adopter and I didn't meet him until I picked him up), I was told by PPR that he had recently had a teeth cleaning, which was a total and complete lie. Anyone who had opened his mouth to clean his teeth would have seen all of the growths in his mouth. Anyone doing an X-ray would have seen the huge growths in his jaw. I saw the X-rays and looked in his mouth (at my vet) and the dog's deplorable condition was obvious even to my untrained eye.  In my mind, PPR is not a reputable rescue organization. They don't care for the dogs, they just foster them and pass them along to make money. When I informed PPR of the dog's condition, and the need to euthanize the dog, the reply from PPR was "Sorry, the dogs are adopted on an as-is basis." What a horrifically unprofessional and callous response to give a recent adopter who had to put the adopted dog to sleep because PPR didn't do their job! I cannot recommend this organization. If you do adopt from them, make sure to thoroughly check out the dog, even taking it to a vet for a professional checkup. It will save you from major heartache and lots of unexpected expenses. Don't trust what they say to you unless you see the vet invoice and detailed records.

Pacific Pups Rescue is an awesome foster-based dog and cat rescue group helmed by an incredible,…read moredevoted, and super-friendly team. Rescue groups vary widely in how they operate, and I feel very lucky to volunteer with Pacific Pups. With their professional, well-organized venture, Kiah and Elena set a gold standard for rescue groups! At every touch point from our first email to supply drop-offs, the team has been responsible, responsive, and caring. Pacific Pups covers/provides all veterinary care and supplies for fostering, including food, crate, leash, collar, and dog bed. To become a foster, you fill out a detailed online form with your information, availability, and preferences. Kiah contacted me within 1 day of my foster volunteer application, sent info on potential dogs to foster with no pressure, and has provided regular guidance and support for my foster pup. If you need something for your pup, she works hard to get the item to you in 1-2 days, including braving LA traffic and mailing items with a quickness. Additional expenses are reimbursed with pre-approval and a receipt. The group even has volunteers who check in with foster parents. I received multiple emails from a very nice volunteer who asked about my foster pup's stay and offered help as needed. Pacific Pups' website and social media are actively maintained - their Instagram is hilarious! The group rescues a range of dogs and cats, from pit bulls that might otherwise be euthanized to street mutts to kittens to mommy dogs and their newborns. I'd highly recommend volunteering, fostering, and/or adopting with this wonderful group! Foster and save a life (it's an extraordinary, humbling, and fulfilling experience)! Adopt - don't shop!
