    The David and Margaret home Orphanage was my home back in the early and mid 1960s I am a former…read moreresident I got out in 1966 40 years later I would return with 300 + Motorcycle Bikers Riders to raise money and gifts for the kids there today. I was the first orphan out of the 100 Year history to do this for D&M Home My event was called "Eagle Eyes Ride for the David and Margaret Home" I made History for the home and the Ride ended up at the United Methodist Church of La Verne for Live music - raffle - food 50/50 and vendors I'm 65 years old now and David and Margaret will always be my HOME!! One good thing about the home they took us to see the Beatles in 1964 and in 1965 they took us to the MGM Grand Studios to see the king himself Elvis Presley where he gave a child a stuffed animal personally I got a black cat with diamond shaped green eyes.... My name is Eagle Eye Myotte

    For my many mothers…read more I was raised here for a large chunk of my childhood. It was a wonderful place. Here I learned my life lessons, how to walk in high heels, how to play an instrument and how not to do the things that parents do to land one of their children here. The David and Margaret home for girls was where I found shelter by the state of California when I became a ward of the state. It is a large compound behind metal gates in the San Gabriel valley of Los Angeles. When you enter the large gates there are clerical, administrative and counseling offices, followed by ten small cottages that house ten girls and two staff members in each. I spent many years in the Mueller on your right. Dead ahead will be a dining hall and behind it, a recreation center and a swimming pool. At the very end of the complex is a large white estate which was the original orphanage that contributes it's name today. The estate is home to a store and behind her is a horse, that if she is still living is named Oatmeal. Girls like me who have exited abusive homes are treated to counseling, food, shelter and an education. *The rules are very strict. You may not exit the gates of the complex without being AWOL. A bell rings to announce a meal of county food and a light shines in your eyes every night on the hour from a night guard. You will not receive hugs or personal treatment from the staff who is regularly changed to ensure that you not become attached, but you will also never be harmed again as long as you are here. I have many stories about this place like skating at Skateland, camping at Leo Carillo in Malibu for winning the softball championship, carrying my first picket sign and many others. I'll tell you one. We received an allowance from the state of California of $3.25 per month each. If you could manage to not break a rule for 30 days, the allowance increased. (These rules were hard not to break) A state inspector went through your shared bedroom with a white glove every morning. Chores, grades, recreational credits and household interactions were part of the grade. I was a disaster, I was inconsolable because no one loved me. Or so I thought;) I used the angst to break the record for going the longest without breaking the rules. My eyes were on the prize and like the stubborn, one track minded girl that I am, I was obsessed. After years of saving, I finally did it. I bought my Yamaha G35 acoustic guitar, tuner and case at Guitar Center. I was twelve years old. I practiced every night to make use of the time that I was not permitted to watch television and taught myself how to play without the aid of a book. It took a couple more years to make a career out of it. To Adrian, Pat and all the other proctors: Thank you for raising me. To the nurses, therapists, teachers and counselor's: Thank you for everything. I am here because of you. I'll spend my life writing this review. For now, no words can credit you what you are owed for taking me in. I'll try to do you right by the actions of my life. David and Margaret takes contributions and accepts mentors with special skills. You can donate your time doing things like giving music lessons. This is an amazing place to lend your hands. Your Christmas cards and your good intentions.

    Adopter beware! I adopted a dog from PPR in 2019 and had to put him to sleep 1 month later because…read morehis mouth and jaw were filled with cancer. He had been in pain for a long time (at least 9 months, by my vet's estimate) but no one at PPR had looked in his mouth. Not surprisingly, he growled when someone tried to open his mouth, but no one at PPR took the time or effort to find out why this was.  When I asked PPR about the condition of his teeth (I was a remote adopter and I didn't meet him until I picked him up), I was told by PPR that he had recently had a teeth cleaning, which was a total and complete lie. Anyone who had opened his mouth to clean his teeth would have seen all of the growths in his mouth. Anyone doing an X-ray would have seen the huge growths in his jaw. I saw the X-rays and looked in his mouth (at my vet) and the dog's deplorable condition was obvious even to my untrained eye.  In my mind, PPR is not a reputable rescue organization. They don't care for the dogs, they just foster them and pass them along to make money. When I informed PPR of the dog's condition, and the need to euthanize the dog, the reply from PPR was "Sorry, the dogs are adopted on an as-is basis." What a horrifically unprofessional and callous response to give a recent adopter who had to put the adopted dog to sleep because PPR didn't do their job! I cannot recommend this organization. If you do adopt from them, make sure to thoroughly check out the dog, even taking it to a vet for a professional checkup. It will save you from major heartache and lots of unexpected expenses. Don't trust what they say to you unless you see the vet invoice and detailed records.

    Pacific Pups Rescue is an awesome foster-based dog and cat rescue group helmed by an incredible,…read moredevoted, and super-friendly team. Rescue groups vary widely in how they operate, and I feel very lucky to volunteer with Pacific Pups. With their professional, well-organized venture, Kiah and Elena set a gold standard for rescue groups! At every touch point from our first email to supply drop-offs, the team has been responsible, responsive, and caring. Pacific Pups covers/provides all veterinary care and supplies for fostering, including food, crate, leash, collar, and dog bed. To become a foster, you fill out a detailed online form with your information, availability, and preferences. Kiah contacted me within 1 day of my foster volunteer application, sent info on potential dogs to foster with no pressure, and has provided regular guidance and support for my foster pup. If you need something for your pup, she works hard to get the item to you in 1-2 days, including braving LA traffic and mailing items with a quickness. Additional expenses are reimbursed with pre-approval and a receipt. The group even has volunteers who check in with foster parents. I received multiple emails from a very nice volunteer who asked about my foster pup's stay and offered help as needed. Pacific Pups' website and social media are actively maintained - their Instagram is hilarious! The group rescues a range of dogs and cats, from pit bulls that might otherwise be euthanized to street mutts to kittens to mommy dogs and their newborns. I'd highly recommend volunteering, fostering, and/or adopting with this wonderful group! Foster and save a life (it's an extraordinary, humbling, and fulfilling experience)! Adopt - don't shop!
