In addition to the $700 adoption fee, every dog requires 7-15(!) training classes, which range anywhere from $350-$550. This is non-negotiable. And can you guess which trainer you are required to use? It's ever so coincidentally the owner-and-also-pet-trainer, Vickie! Not saying this is a scam, but feel free to reach your own conclusions. Perhaps a dog needs additional training- it's entirely possible- but the fact that it's only allowed to be administered by the person who also owns the company.. that's a bit suspect. If your heart ever breaks from a post from Eloise Rescue's social media, featuring an adorable animal that just wants a forever home, just know that it's quite possible that Vickie herself is the person holding that dog back from having a better life.

We weren't sure we were ready for a new furry family member, but Addie contacted us about fostering a sweet angel that had been through the ringer before he was even six months old. Initially it was to help him recover from his first surgery and to prepare him for his second....that didn't last long as he is now in his forever family with us. Somehow, Addie just knew we were all a perfect match; we didn't know just how much until he came into our home and stole our hearts the very first day. She loves every dog that is in her care as if it were her own and I am in awe at how she makes these doggie love stories with such ease. Addie and Love that Dog Hollywood remain in contact with us regularly and will forever remain in our hearts, not just for our new family member, however for how selflessly she gives of herself to ensure every single dog that crosses her path will find kindness and love for the rest of their lives.

I recently decided to adopt a dog from NKLA that appeared to be very adorable and loving.  A male…read moreterrier, a dog that I thought would do well in my home with my girlfriend and our 2-year-old super-loving-bubbly-firecracker of a submissive little female pug mix.  Everything went so well during the meet and greet of our dog!  We were in love with our complete family right away! We were all SO happy, or so we thought.  On day 1 following the adoption, our new dog was very affectionate, but seemed to get irritated with our pug when playing and bared his teeth. We told our pug to leave him alone.  Over the next few days my girlfriend looked after the dogs as she works from home and everything appeared to be wonderful.  He would give us kisses, allow us to pick him up, sit on our laps, play, show affection, make us laugh, lie in bed with us.  All of the things you hope for in a fun-loving dog.  On day 2, my girlfriend went to pick him up and who we thought was a loving boy with a great personality bared his teeth and immediately bit my girlfriend on the hand, but did not break skin.  The bruise lasted for several days.  We were in shock to say the least and blamed the incident on our behavior, thinking we had done something to provoke the bite.  Moving forward to Friday of the first week together we were all sitting on the couch as a family.  The two pups started to play together when suddenly our new dog snarled at our other dog. He then lunged at my girlfriend's face snapping his jaws closed. A near miss. At that moment we were beginning to have apprehensions about our newly adopted dog.   We tried to remain optimistic.  That Saturday we visit a dog beach.  We kept our adopted dog on leash. Not to long after arriving at this dog beach this adopted dog was growling at other dogs and nearly bit a German Shepard in passing, but then redirected his aggression toward me, biting me on the elbow breaking skin and then proceeded to bite my left hand as I tried to pack up and leave the beach as this clearly was not going well.  Our vet met our adopted dog who immediately suggested we return him as he was clearly aggressive and had other behavioral issues. We decided not to give up and see how it goes.  The following weekend while working in the yard, our landlord who was visiting unlocked a gate allowing our dog to escape.  After catching up to our adopted dog who was marking flowers and watching me in calm state, allowed me to kneel down to his level without running off.  As I went to pick him up, he bit my right hand, leaving a puncture and drawing blood.   He ran off again.  As I finally was able to catch up to him once again, he remained calm once again.  But in this case I grabbed him by the collar from the back of his neck. He squirmed vigorously and let out a cry and began hissing trying with everything he had to bite me again and again.  This lasted for 20 seconds or so before he calmed down.   We decided that evening that we wanted to return our adopted animal as he was clearly aggressive.  Adorable, but highly aggressive.  The next day we ended up in the emergency vet first thing Sunday morning around 7 or 8 am, learning that he sustained a strain to his leg likely from his having run off. We contacted Addie Daddio of Love That Dog Hollywood, a coalition partner of NKLA, as our vet guided us, stating that the injury was unfortunate, but that we had made the decision to return him due to his excessive aggression before learning of any strain to his leg.   Addie became very accusatory stating that this was not the dog that she knew, that we must have done something to provoke this behavior from him, that we were just trying to get out of medical bills, that we are "pieces of garbage and she hopes karma finds us." We are loving people with good hearts.  We would have never had considered adopting an animal if we were not good-hearted people.  We wanted to do the right thing and Adopt, Not Shop.  Addie is kind when things are going well, but she like our adopted dog are both of similar behaviors and very nasty at the flip a switch.  We received several unsavory texts from Addie over the last couple days.  Addie Daddio of Love That Dog Hollywood is the most unprofessional, unsavory, and outright nasty human beings we have ever encountered and it reflects poorly on NKLA.  She called our vet with 40 years of experience and harassed him as well.  She insisted to meet him in person.  I would highly encourage NKLA to sever ties with this individual who shames good-hearted people with good intentions when a dog adoption does not work out. We feel that our pet adoption was a failure and we are broken hearted. Because of this experience with Addie Daddio, we will NEVER feel comfortable adopting from NKLA again.

I truly found my perfect pet at this rescue - my Curtis (named Alvin when I adopted him.)…read more This rescue is very up front about the behavior of the pets they adopt to you - wanting new owners to be prepared for anything that may arise. My guy was potty trained and loved all humans, but they did let me know he can be reactive to certain types of dogs. I knew that I had something small to work through with him from the get-go. The real reason for the 5 stars, however, is the support they gave me nearly 6 months after I adopted him. Curtis is a mix of a few breeds that are prone to degenerative disc disease. He had to have a pretty gnarly emergency surgery when he had 3 herniated discs that put him at risk of paralysis in his hind legs. They were very responsive to my calls, helped negotiate a shelter rate at the hospital, and even helped me out with some of the cost (it was an incredibly expensive surgery.) Thank you Nancy & team for giving me my perfect pet and support I needed through a scary time. I'm forever grateful.

I know I have thanked you before for providing us with Bentley ( kennel name Red Baron) sadly last month he passed away after giving the honor of being him Mom and Dad for over 12 years. Red Baron was underweight with a hematoma on his tummy and thin wiry hair he was scared of men and rolled on his back or tried to hide when approached. Lots of love and care gave him the most beautiful thick wavy coat he filled out and we would get stopped all the time by people remarking 'what a handsome dog' ( so handsome we had DNA done he was yorkie cocker and pointer!) he never did anything wrong he came house-trained, he didn't lick or jump or beg only barked when someone was at the door and was gentle and calm, his best friend was the cat next door. He was 25 lbs of perfection, his only fault is now we are spoiled because he was so darn perfect. He was indeed A Perfect Pet. With gratitude and tears, Andrea and David Golombeck Andrea

Very disappointing interaction with Beverly. I reached out to this business for assistance with my…read moretwo service animals and was shot down aggressively by Beverly. She said you can't just get five dogs and say their service animals. She said why did I get the animals in the first place if I can't afford them. She initially knew she was not going to try to help me. I realized this in her tone and then when she said that they were not going to help me. Then when she added no one will help me. I did make a complaint about this to her supervisor and when I spoke to the supervisor about this, Laura, she defended Beverly by saying, it is uncommon to have more than one service animal.. Then she says, Beverly speaks to multiple people a day and she's doing the best she can. I said I understand that, but when she is working with the Public, she has a responsibility to treat people professionally and with respect. However, as soon as I said this, Laura cut me off and spoke over me right away. This was when I said responsibility, that is when she started speaking over me. She said, we are allowed to ask invasive questions because you're calling us for financial assistance. She also implied that they are very selective in who they help and turn most away. I told her I had no problems answering the questions asked of me, however, most of the comments, wording, and tone Beverly used was unprofessional, and showed discrimination towards me as someone living with a permanent medical condition. Laura then tried to put it all on me, asking if I read the requirements for the assistance and their policies etc. I said yes I did, but Beverly didn't let me get a chance to confirm that I was looking for assistance that would make me eligible to be assisted. She was still defending Beverly, because the issue was discrimination and unprofessionalism, not if I read about their policies. Furthermore, please practice caution when reaching out to this facility given the information I just provided. It's always good to ask for help when it's needed, however, sometimes the people offering that help play a sort of God complex and try to make you feel bad for asking for the help. This is the experience I had with actors and others for animals. Ultimately, this business said they could not help me. The supervisor ended up emailing me referrals. That was one positive take from the experience. It is not clear why they could not assist me. They did not offer an any type of assistance just referrals so that's not good on their part.
