    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff make sure all these animals get their second chance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The application process was completely easy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff reached out right away for a meet and greet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were super accommodating when I wanted to come in a day early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They answered all the questions we had regarding Tobey and let us know of any treatments he's currently in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their staff is so kind and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Becky is an angel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The adoption coordinator was so kind and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came to Lange and they let us spend some time with Leia (formerly Chiquita) in their fenced in patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The adoption process was very smooth and the staff there is super friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]? 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We are surprised at the such a quick dismiss reply without any discussion of meaning of outdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then they sent me back this reply. It is so heart breaking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lange Foundation is amazing!! I have adopted several cats from them and they have always been incredible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    The Lange Foundation gave me my beautiful kitty Tortuga! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The adoption staff were so kind and educated me on his past injury and how to best care for him in the future.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm so grateful for the work they do in finding these animals forever homes!

Their adoption process made it clear that they genuinely care about finding the right match; not just for the adopter, but for the puppy as well. They took the time to consider my lifestyle, experience, and capabilities while also ensuring my puppy would be placed in the best possible home. The fact that they rescue so many dogs from high-kill shelters, combined with their incredible network of dedicated foster families, speaks volumes about their professionalism and commitment. It's obvious that everyone involved is passionate about giving these dogs the love and care they deserve. I was especially impressed by the foster who cared for my puppy. He came to me already potty pad trained, incredibly calm, affectionate, and full of confidence. It was clear he had been nurtured in a loving environment, which made the transition into my home so much easier. That experience gave me confidence that Wags & Walks entrusts their animals to truly exceptional fosters. I am so grateful to Wags & Walks for helping me find my new best friend and lifelong companion. If you're looking to adopt, I can't recommend them highly enough.

    My husband and I genuinely love fostering dogs and helping animals in need, which is why this…read moreexperience was so disappointing. We've foster failed a couple dogs, helped place another through our online community, and poured a lot of time, care, and emotional energy into helping these animals. Despite that, we were repeatedly met with rude, dismissive, and condescending communication from staff, coordinators, and even veterinary partners both via email and when we would take the foster in for appointments. What was most frustrating was seeing the urgency around training and behavioral support suddenly disappear once they learned we were moving forward with adoption. The concern for the dog's behavioral needs no longer seemed to matter in the same way. Given the adoption fee of $500, we also expected a much higher level of communication, support, and behavioral follow-through than what was ultimately provided. Rescue work should be rooted in compassion for both the animals and the people volunteering to help them. Unfortunately, the way we were treated made it clear we will not be fostering with this organization again, and I would encourage others to think carefully before fostering, supporting, or adopting through them.

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.

My second experience was terrible. After my puppy was killed while with me on leash by a reckless driver, I later returned to L&L to look for a new baby. Different set of employees, and both my nephew and I were shocked that one of them seemed to blame me for my puppy being killed.

I contacted the manager about this, and though she three times promised to call me back, she never did. This is heartless behavior for a place that is supposed to be doing good.

But when we got our very first kitten 15+ years ago from a cousin's litter, we quickly learned that she was lonely and really needed a friend. Lesson learned, rescues aren't trying to be difficult, they're trying to do right by the animals (and yes, we later got her a friend ). Our family adopted our cat, Salsa, from Stray No More about three years ago. Her story broke my heart, she had been tossed in a garbage can outside of a Petco, and the employees brought her to Stray No More, who immediately stepped up to care for her. At the time, we weren't sure if we were ready to adopt another cat, so the rescue let us take her in as a foster-to-adopt. I think this is such a thoughtful option for people who want to "test the waters" before making a lifelong commitment. It didn't take long for Salsa to show us she was already home. My son fell in love with her spunky energy and mischievous streak right away, and we knew we couldn't imagine our home without her. Three years later, she's still keeping us on our toes with her "tortitude" and making us laugh daily. I'm so grateful that Stray No More was there for Salsa when she needed it most, and now a volunteer, I've seen firsthand how much care and intention they put into their adoption process. If you're looking to adopt, know that their guidelines come from a place of love for the animals and the joy of finding the right match is absolutely worth it.

Coffee is decent, but you didn't come here for the coffee. You came to spend time with flurry friends. Prices are very reasonable as well. You can't go wrong if you just want a couple hours away from the busy day and be accompanied by some very friendly cats! If you are looking to adopt a cat they do work with KittenRescue so you are in wonderful hands. The process is smooth, quick, and just overall a very pleasant experience.

So many amazing people lead us to Mahkala, who is connected with PetSpace. We were then connected with Patricia was able to get the surgery approved, if we agreed to Foster to Adopt. She picked up Greyson from the pound and took him to get the surgery. We picked him up, and after 2 weeks of shepherding him through his healing, took him back to PetSpace to have his stitches removed. The only hiccups we've had was unclear communication at times. In dealing with several other folks via text, email, our valid and pertinent questions seemed to be more of an annoyance and not answering. "We don't have that info" or "It hasn't been updated in our system" were frequent answers to our inquiries pertain to the dog. The facility is wonderful, the store is pricy which was kind of surprising. I believe the people here know it's a special place.
