I found Bully Love Rescue when I was searching for a fur friend on petfinder late one night. I fell in love with the cutest yorkie that was a part of their rescue group and immediately sent them an email about my interest in adopting him. They quickly replied and told me more about the little guy and I told them about our home and our lifestyle. The team also answered all of my questions and even kept me updated on other details until we agreed on a date, time, and location to meet. I also received the name and number of his foster. In regards to the reviewer who said that they were being shady by withholding their info and meeting at a public place, they need to understand that this rescue team isn't in a single location and consists of fosters so this process protects their privacy as well as the safety of the rescues. The Bully Love Rescue team is amazing. They answered all my questions and replied to all my emails in a timely manner. After bringing our puppy home, his foster, Irina checked in with us occasionally to see how everything was and helped me with any questions or concerns I had. They made my first adopting experience an awesome one and I can't thank them enough for bringing me and my Mochi together. read more

We started off with what we thought would be a great experience. I inquired about an available pug. I messaged with Irina, we set a time and date for our family to pick up the dog to foster to adopt. My son was excited, we all were. We had finally found the perfect pup. Then, she ghosted us. Stopped replying to my messages regarding the application and confirmation of our plan to pick him up. Heartbreaking for our family. Totally Unprofessional. Still no response from her. Even if she had sent me a reply explaining that there was another family more suitable etc etc we would have been understanding, but to completely just ghost us like that was super disappointing. read more

I have no idea what these other reviews are even about. My transaction went really smoothly. I inquired about a Saint Bernard that looked so cute via photos, I was referred by a friend who had nothing but good things to say about this rescue, and how they are actually A RESCUE! Not like other rescues and adoption centers who never get back. I emailed and got an answer back in no time. I told Irina about how my cat had passed away and I was ready for a bigger responsibility, I always loved Saint Bernards I was emailed a couple of questions to make sure I was qualified for the adoption. We spoke on the phone to go over additional questions. Since I passed we met in person. After we met in person I filled out all the paper work, CM was so clean and all shots were up to date. and now I have my Cookie Monster! Thank you Irina read more

My husband and I have been looking for almost a year for a dog to join our family. LA is a really hard place to adopt when you need a hypo allergenic dog. They get adopted really quick. We had a wonderful experience with BullyLOve Rescue. I emailed as soon as I saw the posting. They responded to my email within a few hours and were able to set up a meet and greet that day. We adopted him on the spot. We are in LOVE with our little boy. I would highly recommend this rescue. Irina was super helpful and answered all our questions. Thanks for helping us start our family! read more

I inquired about a dog. Took 2 days to get a response back. The reply said to set up an appointment time, I sent my availability, and NEVER got a response back. After my third email asking when we could meet the dog (and still no response), I decided to check the website. It took me going to their website to see that the dog I wanted to meet was gone, and this was a week after the fact that I asked about the pup. RUDE They provide no number (SKETCHY) and from what I have experienced, are not responsive. Their website seems sketchy too lol. read more

Irina helped me rescue a little pup that has been the best thing that happened to me. I got my pup Mac around a year ago and he has been great! Nonstop ball of energy and love. Back and forth was a bit tedious, but god seeing some of these reviews y'all don't have the patience to own a dog. The process was fairly quick and easy for me and I have a tiny best friend. Great rescue. read more

Not only have we rescued two babies from this amazing rescue my sister in law has and also very good friend of ours have rescued from them after seeing how happy we were. Since I've rescued my two dogs from them I've rescued two other dogs and not only has Irina been a source of help but she answered our questions day and night. There is just no one who invests in and loves their dogs more than Bully Love Rescue does. They truly love every dog they take under their care. I am so grateful to Kyle and Irina for doing what most people would never be willing to do. We love them so much! read more

Bully Love Rescue is one of LA's best rescue organizations that doesn't follow first come first served rule. They thoroughly interview potential forever homes to make sure the puppy's needs are met and that the family is the right match. Irina works tirelessly to have the puppies ready for adoption, shots, medical needs and all paper work! She is also willing to travel with puppy to your home to make sure the puppy will be a right match to your home and family. If your family is ready to adopt please see Bully Love Rescue! read more

I only wish I could rate this organization with zero stars. After countless searches my children (ages 6 and 8) found the puppy of their dreams, Daisy, and morkie puppy. After communicating with "Jenny" via email I was told the puppy would have to meet with our entire family at our home. I assured "Jenny" this would not be a problem and set up various times this could take place. My little children sat in our home looking out of the window waiting for their Christmas puppy that would never come. Please see the email chain below (as this is the only communication possible with this bogus rescue organization-and I use that word lightly) How dare they treat unsuspecting little ones who want to only rescue a puppy as "they need a home and someone to love them on Christmas" this way. SHAME ON YOU! Despicable people. See email chain below. Hello, Your email just made this a very happy Monday! Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. As I am a stay at home mom, I can come to meet Daisy any day of the week, my husband can easily come along with me during lunch hours. Our kids have busy after school schedules and are available after 6pm Monday -Thursday and after 4 on Friday. As a family, we can do any time Saturday and Sunday. We do not want to miss out on this sweet girl so please let me know what works best and we will make it happen. My cell is _______ Good Morning Lisa, Where exactly are you located? Our foster could possibly come to your home as Daisy would do better showing in your home than on leash. Please let us know. We know she will LOVE your children and will approach them much quicker than anyone else in the house. We are at _____________90019 Cross street is La Brea and ________. We are waiting with baited breath to meet her. GoodMorning Lisa, Our foster is available all day today for showings and can come to your home if that works. Please let us know if you'd like to meet little Daisy today. Hi Jenny, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I am available to meet Daisy anytime today. If you would like the kids present, they will be home after piano at 530 pm. Please let me know what works best. I can be reached on my cell ________ or via email. Hello again Jenny, Just wanted to touch base again regarding the play date with Daisy today. This morning you reached out letting me know that Daisy's foster would be available all day for showings. My children and I are hoping that she will be at our home for a visit around 5:30pm. We are anxiously awaiting next steps as my kiddos really hope to have Daisy before Christmas break so they can spend time with her during their time off from school. If this evening does not work out please know that I will rearrange our schedule to fit any time you have available. I will pull the kids out of school or cancel an afternoon class if that helps speed things up. Please do not hesitate to call _______ or email me back to confirm. Thank you again, WE DID NOT HEAR FROM THEM AGAIN. NOT AN IM SORRY PLEASE DONT HAVE YOUR CHILDREN WAITING FOR THIS PUPPY. NOTHING!! SHAME ON THEM. read more

Don't assume if you see a pet that you want, that you'll be able to meet it. No way to reach them except email and months later, I'm still waiting for a response. read more

I found Irina and Bullyl0ve rescue when I came across Venus, the frenchie that has changed my life. After emailing about Venus, I explained my situation and who I was as a previous dog owner and was capable of taking care of such a needy dog as most frenchies are. I admired how cautious she was in knowing who I was before she decided to agree on me meeting Venus. Long story short after speaking on the phone and meeting her I was able to rescue Venus. Just over a year ago. She has been the most loyal, loving and obedient companion I have ever had. Thank you So much Irina! read more

I met Irena from BullyLove Rescue when I found my beautiful babygirl Ivy online. I must say Irena is absolutely amazing with all the dogs she rescues, the love, dedication and time she puts into making sure all the dogs find their forever home is inspiring. She's a sweet soul with a heart of gold and makes sure all the dogs are going to be protected, safe and loved in their new homes. I would recommend Irena to anyone looking to adopt! Keep up all your good work Irena!!!! read more

I inquired about a dog, and answered a few questions to determine my family and the dog were a good fit. Then I proceeded to schedule a meeting and possible adoption time. The strange part was I never got a name for the person emailing me back. He/she also never listed a number to call and in fact said he/she was too busy to speak on the phone so the whole transaction would be done on email. The meeting and signing of agreements was going to take place outside a mini-mall. That's when it got stranger for me. I felt like I was buying a dog from the back of a pick up truck and not a legitimate rescue group. Perhaps they are a legitimate rescue group... BUT this meeting in the street and not providing a name seems very sketchy. Especially after I asked for a name/number a few times and neither were provided. So, after I asked a few more questions, the person on the other end of the email send me back a message that something had come up and canceled our appointment and never emailed me again. I feel bad for the poor dog... IF there is a dog... and I hope he's being taken care of and finds a good home. Please be careful and do your research for your sake and the animal's sake. read more

Irina is truly amazing - she devotes her life to these animals and often times pays for and pulls dogs out of horrible situations with her own money! She is kind, caring and takes the time to vet each rescue she brings in with proper medical care and a thorough personality and health exam. She screens her applicants carefully and will hold onto a dog for however long it takes to find the right match. She is truly a saint and I cannot say enough about her. read more

I heard about Bully Love Rescue & Irina through a friend who adopted from her and was very happy . Irina is great she really makes sure the dog goes to a forever home and is the right fit. Thank you irina for helping me find my baby read more

After many  failed attempts with other rescues and trying to find our family a new forever 4 legged friend to join our home we came across BullyLove Rescue! We must say it was just an all around amazing experience! They answered all our questions via E-mail and made it very easy we then set up an appointment with one of the fosters to meet our new baby! We met with the foster at the park and  got to play with our new pup and got to know him we were asked a few questions by the foster which were "where would he be living, how long would he be alone, are we an active family (we were adopting a Lab/Golden who is a high energy dog that needed to be hiked/walked/ and taken on runs) which is exactly what we were looking for! Duke turned out to be the most amazing fit for our family and we can't thank BullyLove enough! He is just all around amazing and we will soon be coming back to get our boy a friend!! read more

I had an amazing experience with this rescue. I found a pup that I was interested in online and emailed right away. I got a quick response and set up a meet and greet. I met the dog that evening and adopted her the following night. Irina was amazing to work with. She asked all the right questions to ensure the safety of the dog and at the same time gives you all of the information you need to know about the animal to be a good owner. I've spent years looking for a dog and I found the perfect dog for me through this rescue. I have already recommended Bully Love to my friends and co-workers and will continue to do so. Irina is amazing for running such a great rescue! read more
