    Our Zorrito on the day we brought him home
    Jessica O.

    We adopted a puppy from San Bernardino shelter on Saturday 9/19 which we were told had kennel cough and a uti. I fell in love with Zorro right away and thought that we could give him a shot at getting better, especially since the shelter gave us antibiotics to give him at home. We brought him home and noticed he was barely eating or drinking; therefore, we took him into the animal hospital in Fontana in the morning on Sunday to find out our poor puppy had Parvovirus. We immediately let the shelter know so they can care and test the other dogs and they connected us with your foundation. The Lange foundation helped us cover a portion of the hospital stay, but unfortunately he didn't make it through the night. We only had our amazing cuddly pup Zorro with us for a day. We're devastated, but want to thank the foundation for helping us try to give him an opportunity. We are so grateful

    As a volunteer at the Lange Foundation for over a year, it's been incredible to see everything they've done for these rescues. The attention, care and rehabilitation they give all their dogs and cats is like none other. The extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff make sure all these animals get their second chance

    I adopted my two cats at Lange and then started volunteering there. I can't recommend adopting either a cat or a dog there enough! The animals are so well cared for and the employees know each animal so if you have any questions they can help.

    Almost 2 years ago, we adopted our first pup from Lange foundation. We named him Bruno (white and tan Terrier). We've had him since he was a puppy - his mom was rescued by Lange and was pregnant. Last week, we adopted 3 year old Tobey (black terrier). The application process was completely easy. The staff reached out right away for a meet and greet. They were super accommodating when I wanted to come in a day early. They answered all the questions we had regarding Tobey and let us know of any treatments he's currently in. After the meet and greet, we knew that we wanted to bring Tobey home. Sure enough, we came back the next day with Tobey. Bruno and Tobey are still getting used to each other, but I'd say that Tobey feels right at home. If we were to adopt another dog, this is the first place we'll go to.

    Hope after Lange helped her. What a glow up

    Lange Foundation is such an amazing organization that does SO much for animals in need. I am so grateful to them as they've helped me be able to help some cats that needed a miracle. They are lifesavers. Their facility is such a great place for kitties and dogs while they find their forever loving homes. Their staff is so kind and helpful. Becky is an angel. Lange goes above and beyond to help people and animals. If you're looking for a pet, please contact Lange. They have amazing beautiful cats and dogs that need a forever home. They have dogs of all breeds. Also, please consider donating to them so they can continue helping animals in need. They help rescue animals that need major medical treatment and animals from the shelter. Lange = ANGELS ON EARTH!

    We adopted our sweet little pup from Lange Foundation. The adoption coordinator was so kind and helpful. We came to Lange and they let us spend some time with Leia (formerly Chiquita) in their fenced in patio. It was love as first site. Leia came with a little care package of food and toys. She was up to date on vaccines and spayed. Highly recommend to everyone looking to adopt

    Got my Mochi from there last year. The adoption process was very smooth and the staff there is super friendly. We love Mochi and are grateful to have her in our family! Thank you Lange Foundation for helping bringing us together.

    We didn't get accepted to adapt a cat because we selected their on line questionary as indoor and outdoor.

    We adapted our cat from this place 16 years ago and Kuchulu was with us until he died from nasal cancer 4 months ago. We decided to send an application for an appointment to adapt a kitten. After one month, they replied to me saying that they won't be able to give us an appointment since that Saturday is already fully booked but still appointments are available next Saturday and asked me to register again through on line application. I felt odd because they asked me to turn in the application which means my name and address everything again even if they emailed me and inform me that next Saturday would be available. Why they couldn't just make my appointment for the next Saturday with the email reply?? Then, after turning in the new application, we received a reply saying that we were not accepted because we answered that our cat would stay indoor and outdoor and their policy don't allow their cat to go outside. We are surprised at the such a quick dismiss reply without any discussion of meaning of outdoor. We replied the email saying we didn't mean to keep our cat outside, but in our patio of our apartment. They asked us to send them pictures of patio, so we replied them that we don't want to bring our cat to our patio If cat needs to be indoor, we will keep the cat indoor. Then they sent me back this reply. It is so heart breaking. We lost our cat after 16 years nasal cancer 4 months ago and we were really looking forward to adapting a kitten. I cried. I shouldn't have even tried to come back to this heartless people. Ps. Automatic dismissed if outdoor is selected online questions. No chance to change nor negotiate. No exception!!!

    This is Trouble! I adopted him from the Lange Foundation and he is everything to me.

    Lange Foundation is amazing!! I have adopted several cats from them and they have always been incredible. They care deeply for the animals and ensure they go to good homes, so if you're looking for a dog or cat from a REPUTABLE rescue, check them out online and fill out an adoption application!

    We really wanted to adopt a kitten. A small apartment meant we thought one cat would be just right. Then we fell in love with a calico cat at Lange and we were told it was best to adopt two! Little did we know that our hearts (and happiness) would expand exponentially as Lange helped us adopt her sister and playmate! We received so much support and guidance. Ever grateful for the love and care of these girls.

    The best shelter to adopt your doggy or kitty from! This is a great foundation that focuses on rescuing animals that are injured or at risk from kill shelters in Los Angeles. I got my first kitten here when I was 12 and she's still going strong in her old age. This place also has a yearly estate sale in the summer-time. Absolutely great finds. They have an Instagram for there estate sale you can check out! I always end up buying something on my way out. Seriously great prices and finds. Very lowkey.

We took our Lil Bit as a foster for a week to make sure he was the right fit for our family and while he was still taking his medication Wags & Walks was giving him for his cold.

Jade offered for us to take Lil Bit back so they could do one more medical check before the adoption was finalized. Jade also sat with me and went through all the adoption forms. During this entire process, I never felt rushed or forced to adopt. I was guided with kindness and patience. Also, Wags & Walks facility is super clean and organized and all the staff we met were so nice and friendly.

They informed us that the dog had multiple applicants, and that the adoption fee might decrease over time if interest remained low. We scheduled a meetup near a Petco in Hawthorne. They arrived a bit late in a large white van with multiple dogs in crates--some appeared anxious. The process felt a little hectic since other adopters were scheduled around the same time. The adoption fee was on the higher side and included vaccinations and spay/neuter services. However, our dog was too young to be fully vaccinated or neutered, so we had to schedule those appointments later. Unfortunately, we later learned--through a professional groomer--that the dog we adopted was not a poodle as advertised, but a labradoodle.

She picked up Greyson from the pound and took him to get the surgery.

The dogs were also in a clean and wonderful environment. It was definitely a different atmosphere from dog shelters. You can see the care and comfort prioritized for them. When one is napping, they even put down a blind for privacy! This experience definitely made me want to come back here in the future to adopt one day, and to give my dog a companion!
