Very racist run shelter, shame on you! Our good friend came to get a kitten on Saturday, they told…read morehim adoptions don't start until 12pm.

They offer cat carriers for you to borrow if you need one and they also will send you home with a starter kit if needed (some food and litter) The staff here is very friendly and you can tell the cats here are well taken care of and loved.

They are on the mid to smaller side compared to other LAAS locations, but have a nice sized play yard. Unfortunately LAAS is a broken system just like the entire animal control/care system is, across the state, nation, world...no one cares about these guys because they don't turn a profit sadly. They do their best (well, some staff...not upper management) and there are lots of cute doggos that don't deserve to be here, and sadly deteriorate just from being sent to dog prison. LAAS at least has adoption discounts constantly, just about every weekend, so there's no excuse not to adopt from the system versus getting an inbred dog with health issues for thousands of dollars. Lots of them end up back here after 1 to 2 years old it seems. And if you can't adopt, volunteer! Dog walking is the best escape from LA.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this business. My first…read moreexperience with Love and Leashes was very good. I adopted a pup with the help of two very nice and helpful employees. 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'm writing this as someone who was introduced to Vickie through our trusted vet, and worked with…read moreher in a personal one-on-one training setting for my beloved dog. I have zero to gain from this review, I just felt compelled to offer some clarity, after stumbling upon a few Yelp reviews that mischaracterize both Vickie and the mission of Eloise Rescue. It's easy to make assumptions without knowing the full picture--but I can say with confidence that this rescue is run with the utmost heart, integrity, and care. Yes, Eloise Rescue charges a $700 adoption fee, and yes, you can adopt a dog at a shelter for $50 with a free vet visit. But that lower price does not equate to greater altruism. At a shelter, you often don't know whether a dog is good with children, other animals, or how they'll behave in a home environment. Nor is the true health status of the dog always known, and the quality of the free vet care may vary significantly. With Eloise Rescue, every dog is temperament-tested before adoption to ensure they are safe and a good fit for their future family--whether that family includes kids, pets, or seniors. No dog is adopted out in under two weeks. That time is used to observe the dog, treat any medical or behavioral issues, and prepare them for success in their new home. Each dog receives a full blood panel, vaccinations, spay or neuter if needed, preventative treatments (for issues like giardia and kennel cough which many dogs leave the shelter with), and a full grooming. The rescue doesn't rely on donated food, either. Instead, food is purchased based on each dog's individual health needs prescribed by experts in veterinary medicine and holistic animal nutrition. When dogs are placed in foster care, everything is provided--from toys and treats to crates, belly bands, bowls, and more. The only thing asked of fosters is their time and love. Yes, adopters are also required to attend 7 group training classes--not as a money-making endeavor, but because Vickie wants to ensure dogs and families are set up to thrive. As a highly sought-after private trainer, Vickie could easily focus on more lucrative one-on-one sessions. Instead, she chooses to offer these group classes to her rescue families so she can stay connected during the critical first weeks, help troubleshoot any early challenges, and make sure both the dog and adopter are adjusting well. It's about long-term success, not short-term profit. In talking with Vickie, I learned that since founding Eloise Rescue nearly 40 years ago, only 13 dogs have ever been returned. That's nearly unheard of when it comes to other rescues and shelters. And Vickie remains in touch with 90% of her adopters for the life of the dog--a testament to her unwavering commitment and the relationships she builds. Vickie's dedication to animal welfare is truly extraordinary. Every decision she makes is rooted in compassion and a deep sense of responsibility. She pours her heart into Eloise Rescue--never for recognition or praise, but because she truly believes every dog deserves a loving, safe home. Vickie goes above and beyond, often taking in dogs others have turned away, paying out of pocket for care, and providing each animal with dignity and individualized attention. I share all of this, purely because I believe Vickie is one of the most genuine, honest, and kind-hearted people I have ever met, and that any dog who is fortunate enough to be rescued by or gets to train with Vickie has won the dog-life-lottery. If a negative review exists, I can only assume it stems from a misunderstanding--or perhaps disappointment from someone who did not meet the thoughtful, high standards set for adoption. The only misfortune here is that Eloise Rescue doesn't receive more charitable support and the visibility it deserves, because if it did, Vickie would have the ability expand her altruistic work with Eloise Rescue even further.
