I cannot say enough wonderful things about this rescue. After being rejected by another unnamed…read morerescue for "not being a good fit", a friend put me in touch with Alli and they matched me up with Winston (love at first sight) who I adopted one week later. They made the process easy and painless for a first-time adopter and I highly recommend them to anyone who's looking to give a dog a second chance at a wonderful life. My family is complete and I owe it all to A Dog's Life. THANK YOU!

My husband and I were looking to rescue a younger pup, preferably a shepherd or lab mix. We saw…read moreone on Petfinder from A Dog's Life Rescue. A sweet little thing named Oliver who was being fostered with a cat. I emailed the email address listed with the posting stating our interest and asking if he'd be at the next adoption event. No answer. I called and left a message restating our interest and asking if someone would please call me back as the adoption day was supposed to be tomorrow and we'd be disappointed to drive all the way out there and not see him. No answer. Meanwhile, I'd notice Oliver had been taken off the ADLR web page and PetFinder. I said to my husband "Well, if he has been adopted I'd hope that they'd let us know and that it's a good home" Finally, on adoption day, I called the pet store where the adoption was taking place and asked to speak to someone from the organization. Julia told me that Oliver was not there that day and that they hadn't heard back from his foster family, so they assumed he'd been adopted and to email them so they could keep an eye out for a dog/pup that was good with cats (as Oliver was). Now, I understand that this org is run by volunteers, most if not all are, and that there isn't always time to respond immediately. But if you're not returning phone calls and you're not responding to emails AT ALL even several days later, then there's a problem. How are these dogs to find good homes if potential adopters can't even get a response? And I would expect a rescue organization to have better follow-up and love for the dogs they place/foster than to just assume that they've been adopted after not hearing back from those watching over them. My husband and I ended up adopting a one-year old shelter dog from a wonderful woman named Stacy. Working alone, she saves dogs from shelters, places them with friends and then finds good homes for them. She managed to respond to my emails and calls the same day and she's just one person. Not a good experience at all.

The adoption process is thorough enough, but not super lengthy like a lot of other rescues. There is no home inspection, but they do ask a series of questions, and as long as they all meet the qualifications of a suitable pet owner, then an appointment is set for a visit at the facility, and if you're ready right then and there, you just need to fill out a few things, pay, and head home with your new pet! As we just did today:D

She ended up texting an employee and every reply said we needed to send $150 to lock down the dog. All my wife wanted to do is ask a couple of questions. She then showed me what was happening and I told her to text our phone number to this lady so I could ask a couple of questions. After three long winded replies, every one mentioning the money, I told my wife to forget it. In the time this lady took to reply on text message, she could have called and answered our two questions. This rescue is all about the money ONLY! We were both ready to drive the two hours to San Diego and pick up the dog that night and all she wanted was the down payment. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THIS RESCUE!

They are not there to help you adopt a pet. they only want you to donate so they can virtue signal about how great they are for rescuing rabbits.

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.
