Animal Shelters

One of the biggest and most innovative animal control organizations in the country is the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control.

Twenty years later, we have advanced significantly. Our employee numbers have more than tripled over the years, supporting our growing capacity for care, and we're also adding Perry's Place, our adoption facility and sanctuary, as well as the Heaven on Earth Animal Clinic in Chatsworth, California. And Los Angeles has achieved a no-kill status as of 2020.

Adoptable dogs from Perfect Pet Rescue include many lovely breeds. tiny, medium, and large pure breeds and hybrids. All of our animals have undergone spaying or neutering, a vet check, and all required vaccinations.

The Animal Services Unit in Santa Monica provides a range of services with the goal of advancing and defending the health, welfare, and security of both people and animals.

Dogs are saved by the Dawg Squad from the city's high-kill animal shelters, the streets, and abuse and neglect situations. While we search for permanent adoptive homes, we offer foster homes, medical care, training, and rehabilitation. Dogs are typically fostered in caring volunteer homes while they wait to be adopted.

We are a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation committed to rescuing dogs from various Los Angeles shelters on the day they are to be put down and placing them in loving homes.

By bringing about change, offering second chances, and teaching compassion through animals, we shine a light into the shadowy corners of the earth. Our Foundation currently relies on foster care and seeks to expand our foster family in order to rescue more animals and provide them with loving homes.

After decades of working independently in various facets of animal rescue as transporters, caregivers, volunteers, and any other methods they could find to support the needs of animals as they saw them, Virginie and Ed founded 4 Paws Kiddo Rescue in 2018. Realizing they had similar ideas about how to best help animals in need of rescue, they decided to work together to try to put those ideas into practice.

Gillian Lange, recipient of the 1980 City of Los Angeles St. Francis of Assisi award for her rescue work with impounded animals since 1974, established The Lange Foundation (a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization) in 1993.

Since its founding in 1965, PET PRIDE has owned and run a "NO KILL" and cage-free shelter for the care of homeless cats. Our address is 3350 S. Los Angeles, California 90034; Robertson Blvd. We are open daily from 11 AM to 4 PM, excluding Wednesdays and Sundays.
