    I adopted a dog from Camp Cocker (Goose) in early 2023 and it was a top notch experience. Cathy and Erin were both super helpful and it was clear how much they cared for the dogs they rescue! Erin picked up my dog after he was hit by a car and had a broken leg in the Riverside animal hospital where he was placed on the euthanasia list. He was then put through surgery by Camp Cocker and now he's in perfect shape- you would never even know he had a broken leg. He was given a second chance at life by the generosity of Camp Cocker and now my life is changed as well. Camp Cocker is a professional, generous, kindhearted organization where you can feel the love and compassion they have for dogs. I highly recommend!

    I would recommend this organization if you are looking to adopt. They take dogs in the worst situations and do everything that it takes to find them great homes. Sadly, most adopters have so many unnecessary requirements looking for perfect dogs that would be 'convenient' for them and I wish people realize all dogs deserve good loving homes no matter their circumstances and be more accommodating to their natural behaviors. Regardless, Camp Cocker accommodates their prospects but also genuinely cares about their pups that I am so appreciative of their rigorous application process. This should tell you that they do not just care about raising funds, they actually make sure the dogs end up in a home they truly deserve. We went through the screening process and they were very straightforward and honest about Mateo whom we adopted back in May. Mateo is a flight risk and so he even came with a tracker and reiterated how important it is for us to keep an eye on him and not get too comfortable letting him run loose. He's an angel and we couldn't be any happier that he's now home with us. Camp Cocker also made the process go smoothly while making sure we are the right parents for Mateo and their foster accommodated meeting us halfway to pick him up. And to this day they are still checking in to make sure he's doing well. I highly recommend this place and encourage you to also donate when you can. They do so much for the dogs that need love and care the most and always provide updates on where your contributions are going.

    We adopted Pepe (now Pepper) from Camp Cocker Rescue and they are an absolute joy to work with. They do such great work rescuing these babies in need and they invest so much into them, even those that would never have had a chance are not always the most "desirable" on first appearance. I appreciate your big hearts and your love for the dogs. Thank you for rescuing our amazing Pepper boy and for flying him to us in Seattle. We are so grateful!

    Camp Cocker Rescue is the Best rescue I have worked with. My veterinarian stated that he does not know of another rescue that would do so much to complete and fund all the medical issues the dogs have to prepare them for the best chance of adoption. You can tell that Cathy, Erin and the volunteers have a passion in their heart! I can't say enough and highly recommend Camp Cocker Rescue!!!

    It takes a strong heart to do rescue. It takes a keen mind and the ability to build a process, recruit volunteers and create a loving, and safe place. Building a sustainable nonprofit isn't easy. Not even close to easy. It's an all consuming passion. Three of my pups have been Camp Cocker Rescues. The love and devotion given to making the lives of these dogs so much better is praiseworthy. Camp Cocker Rescue has enriched my life by letting me adopt Blossom, Kei and Scout ~ my family. I will forever support their efforts. I know it helps them to make many lives so much better!

    My husband and I rescued Teddy(formerly Jameson) from Camp Cocker 1 month ago. Teddy is doing great and he's loving his new life! Cathy and her crew truly love their dogs and do their best to place them in good homes. Thank you Camp Cocker!

    We are so thankful to have found this rescue. We had been looking to adopt a dog for a few months, and quickly learned not all rescues were the same. We thought we had found a perfect match for us at another LA rescue, but they had a "first come first adopt" process and when someone showed up 20 minutes before us, they adopted the dog to that family! What?! A good rescue should be matching dogs to a family's lifestyle to make the BEST match, not just the first match, and luckily, Camp Cocker does it right! It is clear with their adoption application and phone interview that they are looking to make a forever match, not just get rid of dogs from their care. We were so impressed with Camp Cocker's thorough adoption process, we asked if we could start volunteering for the rescue. Since it is a TRUE non profit, they only have volunteers (no pay whatsoever going to anyone) we wanted to pay it forward for another family looking for their match. This rescue literally pours THOUSANDS of dollars into these dogs that others turn their back on. They even save Korean Meat farm dogs, and pay huge sums to fly them over to give them a second chance, like our pup. How amazing is that. They are angels on Earth! We don't know where we would be without having found our sweet doggie through them. THANK YOU CAMP COCKER RESCUE!

    My boyfriend and I adopted our dog Ellie through Camp Cocker a few months ago and feel so incredibly lucky to have found them. This organization is full of amazing volunteers who did SO much for us throughout the adoption process. The love and dedication that drives them to care for these dogs each and every day is truly amazing. Everything they do shows just how passionate and thorough they are and that's because they have the best interests of the dogs at heart. In the future when we have more space, I hope to be able to adopt another dog through them so Ellie has a brother or sister to play with every day. In the meantime, I love keeping up with their social channels and following the stories of all the dogs that are rescued and the lives that are forever changed by this organization. Thank you, Camp Cocker, for everything that you do! The amount of joy you have brought into our lives is immeasurable and we are forever grateful.

    My partner and I adopted Mable (now Peach) from them a few months ago. The application process was very thorough (which I liked because it shows the care they take to choose the right home) and everything was explained in detail every step of the way. They've also been checking in since we adopted to Peach and have provided great resources and guidance. They truly care deeply about each and every dog in their rescue. I definitely recommend them if you want to adopt a dog and/or want to support an org that is doing amazing work!

Post that phone call, my feelings about the way she handled herself Changed, and I was wary of her. Despite her assertion that I had no idea what I was looking for, I told her precisely what I was looking for: a bonded pair of cats that were a little older, say two years old or older. I had just lost my cat and my dog. I had also just lost my husband. All this within four months. I found my house too quiet without the pets and my husband, and that is why I reached out to Rhae. I wanted something to care for, a bonded pair of cats seemed exactly what I needed, having had cats all of my life. I never bad mouthed other rescue organizations, other than mentioning the southern golden retriever organization from whom my husband and I adopted two fabulous golden retrievers. While the dogs were great, the organization was not. Unfortunately, I am in very good company as pertains to being dissatisfied with that group, and I only mentioned it to Rhae when she specifically asked me if I had worked with other organizations. The forum of yelp asks for reviews. They do not ask for only positive reviews, they asked for both negative and positive, and I have given both, so on that issue and only that issue, Rhae was correct. The vetting of my house was not done by Rhae, it was done by the other woman, and we had a delightful time. Rhae is clearly a bitter and unhappy human being who calls anyone slightly older than she "elderly. "Indeed, I have let my hair go salt and pepper since Covid. That does not make me elderly. Indeed, I shared with Rhae that I had a major back surgery the year before, which is why kittens were out of the question because I could not bend as often as they might need me to. That does not make me elderly. That makes me aware of the limitations of my body and reluctant to jeopardize my health. That also makes me someone who wants to completely fulfill the needs of whatever cats I adopt. Don't believe Rhae's gaslighting. It is as fake as she is.

I arrived on time at 8:30 a.m., but there was a long line of owners and dogs waiting outside. Many of the dogs appeared to be puppies, fosters, or newly adopted pets still adjusting and difficult to manage. I waited approximately 20 minutes while trying to control my 65-pound dog. When I reached the front, staff said they had no record of our appointment and asked, in an unprofessional manner, whether I had completed the intake form that was supposedly emailed to me. I had never received it. I was then handed paperwork to complete on-site while continuing to manage my dog in a crowded environment. On the form, I disclosed that my dog had been experiencing chronic diarrhea since being picked up as a stray, that we were actively working with our veterinarian to identify the cause, and that our veterinarian had cleared him for surgery. Staff then told me they would not proceed if he had diarrhea. I explained that this condition predated the adoption, that the neuter was required by the shelter, and that we had already obtained veterinary clearance. Staff repeatedly went back and forth between me and the veterinarian before eventually presenting a high-risk consent form. The communication around this was especially concerning. When the form was presented, I was told that by signing it, I was accepting that if anything happened to my dog, it would be my fault. I understand that additional risks can exist, but this was handled in a dismissive and inappropriate manner. If the clinic had sent the intake paperwork in advance or reviewed the medical concerns beforehand, this could have been addressed prior to my driving an hour from West Adams to Van Nuys with a dog who does not travel well. I was also disappointed that additional charges were presented for items such as an e-collar, pain medication, and IV fluids. For a required adoption procedure, these added costs felt excessive. Pick-up was similarly poor. When my dog was returned, a staff member commented, "Make sure to take care of the diarrhea because he still has it," despite our earlier detailed discussion of the condition and treatment plan. While loading him into the car, I noticed feces on his cone, tail, and legs. This suggested he had soiled himself and had not been adequately cleaned before discharge, which was both upsetting and concerning from a sanitation and post-operative care standpoint. Overall, this experience reflected poor communication, lack of professionalism, and inadequate attention to patient care. I would not return to Pet Orphans of Southern California and would not recommend this clinic to others. I also plan to share this experience with spcaLA so they are aware of the concerns regarding this referral partnership.

They are a rescue for dogs and specialize in caring for puppies without homes. They are a nonprofit so any and all help is appreciated to keep their facilities running. I was so happy to pay for a reasonably priced "puppy party" for my kids to enjoy that would also help animals in need. We opted to have an - In house puppy party event at their facility. If you know anyone looking to adopt a fur companion please consider this place. Finding the facility is a little difficult to find as there's no signage detailing where the business is, but the address is legible outside of it. There's metered parking in the front of the building. Be aware that most of the meters do not function which means, you can still park there anyway. Samantha was our host for our in house event today and she set up the play area and cleaned up any puppy "messes" rapidly along the way. She was very kind and supervised with so much care for my children and those adorable pups. The pups had lots of toys to choose from, water bowls and were just so lovely. If my place allowed animals - I'm sure we would have taken one home! My kids ENJOYED their time and fell in love with these 5 sweet and energetic puppies!!! Core memories were made and for my children this was everything they could hope for. As a mama seeing their faces and joy filled my heart. Today was a good day! Thank You Pups Without Borders!!!
