Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is designed to help us set up safe and successful adoptions. Most of the time, we will only place our rescued pets in the Los Angeles area. View our cats and dogs online and apply for the pet of your choice: The application process is not meant to be an invasion of privacy. It’s a tool to help us find out if one of our cats or dogs would fit happily into your home and your lifestyle. We respond to applications within 48 hours. Completion of an application does not guarantee adoption.
