    Shiba and our dog Penny

    Thank you Kris Kelly for being so wonderful and kind when I was adopting my cat Shiba. She is doing great and is loving all the attention she's getting at the house. Again thank you so so much.

    Kris Kelly is the most amazing woman you could ever meet I've been working with her rescue for over 10 years. She is up for what is best for all animals even farm animals. She is respected by so many in her community and outside of her community. She will save an animal and she will put it in a great home until she finds the right one. So if you're ever looking for a pet become your family member you need to look at her to help you find the right fit for your family. Thank you Kris for all you do I really am grateful that I got to meet you and that we work together

    I just remember picking up angela from the border and heading north. I was so desperate for help. I called what seemed to be like ten vets who all turned her away despite the sexual abuse she had endured, with a broken leg. Didn't have any rescue help, funds to cover medical and not one vet who would see her for weeks. My phone rang, it was Kris Kelly, she introduced herself and said, we've located a vet in Hollywood, you're in! I found Angela a rescue, and a long term foster to recover with! All of the sudden I knew Angela would and get medical attention and she would be ok. Kris didn't even know me and she worked non stop to pull it together. She saved Angela's life. This was my first interaction with Kris and we have worked well together ever sense. Kris is compassionate about any living creature on planet earth. She's articulate, professional, well spoken and is just a perfect example of a great "animal advocate". She's good at what she does. A voice for the voiceless. We need more Kris Kelly's in this world. Thank you for all that you do Kris. You're an example for others. You're needed and appreciated in this world.

    Love our Baby.

My second experience was terrible. After my puppy was killed while with me on leash by a reckless driver, I later returned to L&L to look for a new baby. Different set of employees, and both my nephew and I were shocked that one of them seemed to blame me for my puppy being killed. He was rude, insensitive to the circumstance, and he did all he could to throw up roadblocks to helping me. He was an expressionless jerk who had zero empathy or professionalism. I contacted the manager about this, and though she three times promised to call me back, she never did. This is heartless behavior for a place that is supposed to be doing good. I will never go back to that place again. The only reason this is not a 1-star review is because my first experience with them was good. That appears to have been an anomaly. I adopted a pup from Best Friends West LA, which I cannot recommend enough.

    I feel the need to share my dissatisfaction and poor treatment by this rescue. In the end one of…read morethe dogs I tried to adopt was harmed, in addition to me and my son because of how they mishandled everything. It was only 48 hours before getting this dog that the foster parent, not the rescue, informed me she had a prolapse rectum. The shelter didn't even know. Outside of being told she had a small cataract in her left eye, was told nothing else was wrong. In fact, the owner said she was "perfect.". This dog had dental disease, severe scarring in both ears and eyes to where she had limited vision and hearing. She was not potty trained at all. She was also severely underweight and could not handle a walk more than about four houses down my street. I agreed to take her with the understanding she would get the prolapse surgery after I got her, paid for by the shelter. The owner continued to disagree with every vet that saw her to talk about the surgery. No vet wanted to operate on her because she was malnourished and it was unclear why she was not able to gain any weight. All three vets said she should go on a hydrolyzed protein diet. The owner of the shelter refused stating the only food I could feed her was farmers dog. Finally after two months, the owner said I could put her on hydrolyzed protein food and she started gaining some weight. She had to get an ultrasound before the hospital would agree to do the surgery at that point. It took six weeks for the shelter to connect with the hospital that did the ultrasound to talk about next steps for the surgery. By that point I had had this dog for over three months and was dealing with all of the stuff I mentioned above. Because of all that at some point, I decided I could not do it anymore. It was a very painful decision to make and the shelter, made it extremely hard for me in the end. They were difficult to communicate with. I agreed to just fly her back to LA myself and the plan then changed three different times. They said they would come get her on a certain day, then changed it to another day then I said I would just bring her like I had planned then they asked me to keep her until they could find a place for her even though they said they had a place for her to go. Long story short it was extremely hard. I will put pictures of the texts from the owner in the end, who told me to literally stop complaining. The amount of time and money I spent out of my own pocket on this dog was significant. I thought at least an apology would be given, when I asked for one, the worker at the shelter stayed silent on the phone. And then the owner told me to stop complaining as you can see in the text photos. I share this to warn other people about what you might go through if you try to adopt a dog through them.

We went and met Nes and Duke along with the trainer OJ. My wife and I were able to control and walk Duke with no problem. But they wouldn't allow me to adopt him because they say that my back yard has no shade, and that the gate is not secure enough. Actually the back yard has shade for about 1/2 the day once the sun if to the east,but the home inspector came by at 10:00 AM, so not much shade then. However, Duke would primarily be an indoor dog, and less than a block away is a park with all the grass and shade a dog could want. The back yard would be only for a potty area, and leg stretching area between walks. I have had my son in laws 3 Husky dogs back there and not once have they opened the gate, or broken through it, and they outweigh duke by about 2 to 1. Was I given a chance to address their concerns? Nope. That is why I am giving them 2 stars. If they have concerns, Let me address them, or at least call me and ask me about them, and then they can decide if we would be a suitable dog parents or not. Personally, I don't think that they took to my wife and me, and were looking for any reason not to let us adopt duke. (this is only my belief, and I have no proof one way or another.) And one more thing that I wasn't a fan of. The training. The trainer wants complete obedience from the dog. He thought that I was giving Duke too much affection for not doing anything. Who does that? If you love your dog, you give him affection for no other reason than he is a dog, and you want to make him feel loved. We don't just parcel out affection for only the times they do a behavior that we want from them. Overall, I am soured on rescues in general, and I will be only looking at animal shelters from this point forward. Good luck to anyone adopting from this rescue, but be prepared that they will say no without giving you a chance to explain or fix any issues.

I found a sick old cocker spaniel on the streets & the Diana Grey group was the only one to come through, step up for the dog, offer $2000 dollars in medical funding and take care of her surgery and post surgery rehabilitation with TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) right away. Many other organizations got involved, but were all talk & honestly, just put you email chains .. With no real help or knowledge. They are hands on & do not give up if they know an animal is being mistreated. They have also given me recommendations regarding dietary changes to raw food and supplementation as well as details about alternative flee Meds and vaccine alts to replace vaccine boosters for your dog. I don't make a move for my dog or cat without consulting them... They are the most knowledgable, dedicated, affectionate, compassionate and professional group around.. Trust me, I dealt with them all. I believe this foundation has the ability to educated & change our society... So we can all give our babes the lives they deserve.

The dog used to belong to a homeless man who died on the streets and the police brought him to the shelter. The Diana Gray Foundation was rehabilitating this boy spending a five digit amount for his medical needs in less than six months. Evander is today a happy boy, getting his weekly Physical Therapy and acupuncture, his home cooked meals, daily homeopathy and Chinese medicine to treat his many issues that have caused this boy a great deal of distress for years on the streets as a homeless dog. Since it was love at first sight, the foundation decided to keep the boy for life and to care for him like nobody else could. Treating his body, mind and soul. This is a truly amazing rescue. They believe deep down in the core of every rescue mission there is one goal in mind: rehabilitating the dog with everything Mother Earth has to offer. No other rescue is working with this principle and no other rescue was willing to put the time, effort and money into little Evander, who had zero hope in the world to be left to live and get well again. I want to thank Diana Gray for being this boy's guardian angel. And for deciding to keep him and offer him a world of love, care and support.

There is a reasonable adoption fee of $150 that covers medical care, food, and other expenses. Also included is neuter/spay. You can fall in love with a pet online, like I did! I came across a photo and profile of the world's cutest kitten (see photo) on petfinder.com, but you can also see them at billfoundation.org. I filled out an adoption application and spoke on the phone with the adoption coordinator as well as the foster mom. After approval, both of these women hand-delivered Marcello, driving all the way from the Valley to my Culver City pad. They gave me some food, bowls, and a few of his favorite toys. His sister came along to say goodbye to her brother! I was tempted to adopt her as well, but I couldn't at the time. It was evident that they cared for him very much. They checked up on us with a phone call a few weeks later. When I took Marcello for his first vet check up, the vet said he was incredibly clean and healthy for a former street cat (he was born on the streets!)-- no eye gook or other infections that are common with shelter or adoption agency kittens. He was quite impressed with his adoption agency. A month after his adoption the foundation contacted me to make sure I was neutering him soon. I was able to take him to their vet at no cost to me. My kitty was fixed in 90210! What a great orginazation doing great work for homeless animals! These are animals that may have otherwise been picked up by animal services and to a shelter.

In meeting Jo & her team at the pet fair I felt reassured that this foundation was legit. The love & care these pups receive is wonderful. Although the process can be daunting & we tried desperately not to get our hopes up when we fell in love with a particular dog, luck was on our side. Abbey (previously named Leyla) became our new family member. She is amazing! Jo has made sure our family was just as important in the process as Abbey was. I highly recommend the Bill Foundation. I thank them for rescuing our girl so that we could have the opportunity to adopt her.
