Perfect Pet Rescue

We adopted our dog there 2 years ago and we absolutely love her! That said, the organization is extremely unorganized. We were called almost a year after having her and received a accusatory voicemail claiming that we did not get our dog spayed. we did, and it was done at their facility so not sure what happened to the records/why they were not kept Additionally, we received an ill-toned a voicemail regarding the medication that their vet facility prescribed for our dog claiming that she did not need it.

It was hurtful to receive these types of calls as our dog has been our number one priority since the day we adopted her. Terry is amazing, I am not sure if she is still there, however, whoever manages the office/records needs some better bedside manners and a better organizational system.

We adopted Charlie (Mookie)15 years ago. He passed last week. Thank you for the joy of having him as part of our family

I have adopted 6 lil ones from ppr in the last 24 yrs Nancy and her volunteers r the best my lil ones turn to b the best sadly we had 3 passed away during the years that we lov we got just Anna few months ago she turn out to b great lil one lil the rest she spoil rotten now remember this ppr does not know the back ground of the dogs they rescued they just to find good homes for them b patient with them spend time with them and they lov u forever

Helped me replace my bff service dog with an Irish Wolfhound that has stepped up and learned some of the things she needs to know after 1/2 years of being with me. Different dog same love. Great place to do the right thing. Adopt!

After emailing with Nancy about an available dog, that she stated in an email to me specifically that he was available, I arrived at their location at opening only to be told the dog I was told was available 20 minutes ago had been adopted by an employee. To me this seems unprofessional and was hurtful. I don't see a point in trying to adopt from them if they're just going to give the dogs to employees. I can't see a reason to contact them if you're interested in adopting.

I'm sorry that some others have had problems. PPR posted "Cindy's" photo and write up last night. I called/left a message and emailed Nancy expressing my interest at 7:30 am and emailed the application and agreement at 8:30. At 8:33, Renee called me and made an appointment that day at 3:00 pm. They share a parking lot with a vet hospital and a groomer and it is BUSY!

They had a hidden away area where we we able to hold "Cindy" who had lived the last 2 years outside of her owner's home. We loved her, no matter how nervous she was. We completed the paperwork and took her home. She was cautious when we got her home but within a couple of hours she had eaten and was napping in her new bed! Thanks PPR!

I'm a little confused at how this whole establishment operates. I had been in contact with them about adopting a dog for two weeks. I made one appointment and someone came in before me and swooped the dog which was later returned to the shelter. They reached out to me after and scheduled another appointment and once again someone came in and adopted the dog before me.

I don't see the point in making appointments to visit/adopt when another person can just come in and take the dog. It's a flawed system and overall a very unprofessional establishment. It's clear to me that they don't care where the dogs ends up they just want them out of their shelter as quickly as possible.

We rescued 2 dogs in 2008 and 2009. Dodger and Daisy. They were the best little pups ever.

PPR is amazing! Terry was great and extremely helpful with helping me to find my perfect match. I had been looking forever and right when I was about to give up I came across my sweet Korra. Terry was responsive, flexible, knowledgeable, and set up a meet and greet within the same week. It's been about a month with my fur baby and I couldn't be happier!

Perfect Pet Rescue was perfect! The owner screens all the dogs carefully for temperament and they are mostly small and sweet. We have ours now for many years and he adapted quickly to his new home. I would highly recommend this dog adoption service. pm

I rescued a toy dog Leon in October. I flew down from Northern Calif. When I arrived I was greeted by Renee who had him ready to go. We later changed his name to Skippy. He is everything and more that they told me he was. We become an important part of our family. We love him.

This is a sad place. They have not taken care of the rescue Yorkies that have come in before trying to sell them. Infection in eye, mites in ear, not spayed or neutered, & stink so bad. Poor little thing need dental work Before it could eat kibble. But their in too big a hurry to get rid of them & throw burden of cost to new owners. Sad! Sad!

We got our dog from Perfect Pet Rescue 5 years ago (almost to the day). Everyone who meets Bobo (formerly Coral) is appalled when we tell them she's from a rescue. She is cute enough to be a designer dog that costs thousands of dollars. Thanks Perfect Pet Rescue for making the process of adopting a dog easy, and thank you for introducing us to our favorite family member. Our dog came well socialized and friendly - she is definitely the perfect pet.

One of my earliest bad experiences with a rescue. I emailed regarding a particular dog as an ESA and listed specific traits I needed. The email I received in return said they thought she would be a perfect match. When I arrived there, she was anything BUT a perfect match. I wondered how well those at the top of the organization really knew the dogs.

I found another potential dog and sat with her for at least an hour, filled out the application and said "when will I find out?" At which point I was told I had to adopt the dog on the spot (then why did the application require my landlord's phone number?). I wasn't comfortable with that and asked if I could foster to adopt. The volunteer said I'd have to ask the one in charge and so I emailed her.

The person in charge initially said yes, I could foster. So, we went about setting a date. Within days, she changed her mind and said she wanted a stable home for the dog-as if fostering to adopt would not ensure that that was EXACTLY what the dog would get. I was wrought with stress and couldn't make a decision in which time the dog got adopted and I spiraled into depression and anxiety attacks. If rescues could just be a LITTLE more understanding to the genuine, kind people looking for the right companion, this system would work much better.

Perfect Pet Rescue matched my family with the perfect dog and I am FOREVER GRATEFUL They know what dog is right for you based on what your situation is. I would recommend to find your new family companion here. It is a wonderful thing they do rescuing neglected, abandoned dogs and finding them the perfect family that will show them the love they deserve and with my dog I can see how much he appreciates it I love him so much and am so glad Perfect Pet Rescue rescued him from the killer shelter he was in

I always wondered if reviews were real today I can say they are because it's true Perfect Pet Rescue really knows what they are doing. They find your perfect pet to fit your Family. I went in there trying to adopt a small 2 year old dog and Rene explained to me why that dog wouldn't fit my family of 7 since I had two little ones. They truly know their dogs needs likes and dislikes.

She said there was another dog that would fit in our family that was more calm and would be good around my small children. He was a 5 year old terrier mix. When I first met him I thought he was to big and wondered if he would truly like our family. Turns out he rescued my family he has changed our lives we couldn't be more greatful for finding the Perfect Pet. I recommend this place 100%!You honestly don't rescue them they rescue you! This is the place to adopt seriously.

They are really sweet! I could not keep my puppy and I really wanted for someone to take care really good care of her. They gave me the confidence that they will find her the right home and she in the mean time will be there with their awesome staff. I really felt secure that my puppy will have the family she deserves

I adopted Luca from Perfect Pet Rescue after meeting a few of the rescues. They had dogs of all ages and Renee was patient and knowledgable as I found the perfect fit for our home. Perfect Pet made me feel fully supported should I have any questions or concerns in the coming days, months, years. I'm glad I choose this organization with a long history of placing shelter dogs in good homes!

A review posted by Stephanie E. three months ago was posted under Perfect Pet Rescue in error. The actual rescue she referenced is Perfect Pets Rescue based out of Georgia/New York. Perfect Pet Rescue is located in Los Angeles, California.

I am so thankful for Perfect Pet Rescue. I am coming up to my 1 year anniversary of rescuing my sweet lil Benji (previously Crockett). The adoption process was a smooth one. They also recommended an amazing trainer for Benji as he had never had basic training. I would highly recommend getting your pup from Perfect Pet Rescue. Changed my life forever! :)

Best rescue ever! I searched for months for my rescue dog Lebowski & Perfect Pet was so supportive and adoption process was effortless! I'm forever grateful!

I truly found my perfect pet at this rescue - my Curtis (named Alvin when I adopted him.) 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.

So grateful to Perfect Pet Rescue for helping us adopt such an awesome dog! My husband & I had been looking around online for a couple months for an available dog to adopt during a certain time frame when we would have free time to devote. We'd come across several dogs featured on different websites but they were already adopted when we called.

We noticed Perfect Pet Rescue was having an adoption event the following weekend and saw one dog -- advertised as a 15 lb, 4 year old, female terrier poodle mix -- that especially appealed to us. Although we were about to leave town for a week, we called PPR to inquire. They got back to us promptly and invited us to come by that same day to where the dog was being kept at the Center Sinai Animal Hospital in Culver City. (Apparently, she had been surrendered by her owner to the Carson Shelter, a high kill facility, from where PPR rescued her after just 1 night there.) In spite a very knowledgeable and experienced family member -- who volunteers with, trains, fosters and owns dogs -- advising us against adopting the first animal we saw, we felt this first dog we were seeing was the one for us! However, when we asked about waiting until after we returned from our trip, PPR told us this dog might no longer be available a week later. So, after they promised to line up one of their volunteers to board our new pooch until we got back, we went ahead and signed the papers. (The volunteer who stepped up was responsible and caring.) We daily feel grateful this doggie has turned out to be such a wonderful animal (the vet thinks she's a Havanese mix) and such an awesome addition to our family!

Perfect Pet is NOT a rescue. They are are going to pull another pregnant terrier from the Carson shelter on June 12th, spay her and abort her babies! Rescues save lives, not kill them! There are multiple other REPUTABLE RESCUES that are begging Perfect Pet to allow them to save her and her unborn babies! This is appalling and anyone that supports this place should be ashamed.

Shame on this rescue for wanting to save a pregnant dog from the Carson shelter and then plan to ABORT the puppies! Some "perfect" rescue! Be wary of them! What else are they capable of?

Would not even give 1 star to this rescue, however site insists on it. This rescue is a disgrace to rescue. While spay/neuter is one of the most important things to be done, killing puppies when they are full term and mom is about to deliver is reprehensible. This rescue needs to be shut down. There currently is a little dog about to deliver her puppies at the Carson shelter. This rescue wants the mom but wants the puppies aborted 1st. Not the 1st time that this rescue has done this.

I have been wanting to adopt a dog for a couple years, but didn't really think I would do it, until Perfect Pet Rescue! Every weekend they bring their dogs to Montana ave in Santa Monica to share with the public what dogs need a new home. At the time I worked on Montana ave so every break I had was spent with the doggies! One of those dogs turned out to be the one I rescued!

From day one since the actual adoption all the girls there have been so nice and readily available anytime you need something or just have questions. The dog I adopted turned out to have some rare medical condition that no one knew anything about. When we told the ladies at the rescue that we were told our dog had some kind of neurological problem, they immediately offered all the help they could!

They even offered to pay for all his exams and treatments in the beginning and it definitely eased my mind about the situation. I adopted my dog in early February and wished I posted this sooner, but it wasn't up until recently I had texted Renae about needing my dogs shot paperwork faxed to a doggie daycare because I was out of town and unable to access the paper copies at home. Renae was so helpful and got me all the information I needed right away and even emailed the documents to me so I have them for future use!

They have gone above and beyond for me, my boyfriend and Marley. I will forever be grateful! If anyone reading this needs a little extra push to adopt from Perfect Pet Rescue. I hope this was it!

Very effective, efficiently-run dog rescue. I adopted my beloved Indy from Perfect Pet, and recommended them to three others who happily adopted from them as well. I was a first-time dog owner, and found Perfect Pet's process to be straightforward and fair. I was initially turned down for a purebred Pomeranian, who went to someone who had owned the breed before. Made sense - that pup went to the right person. I'm so happy with the sweet little girl I eventually brought home - who does not need expensive, regular grooming like the Pommie would have. PPR referred me to a trainer when I had concerns (my dog was scared of other dogs), and the advice I got was sound.

I followed her instructions and Indy was fine. Out of curiosity I checked out the Downey shelter's website - where PPR pulled my dog from - and was horrified at what I saw. The shelter had too many pages to click through. Too many dogs. Overpopulated. Dogs that were in terrible condition (starved, covered in mange, injured) upon intake. I am so grateful PPR truly rescues dogs from this high-kill shelter. PPR is a credible dog rescue that you can trust.

I'm more than happy to echo the chorus of praises for this wonderful organization. After my beloved Pomeranian, Mr. Tucker passed away, I wanted to find another Pom Pom and found a picture and description online through Perfect Pet Rescue. I drove from Moorpark to Santa Monica to see the adorable pooch and I was floored by everything. The organization in general, the caretakers as well as the dogs.

Everything was extremely professional, quick, open and perfect. I loved the fact that they truly put the dogs' welfare ahead of everything else. I even got to meet my new dog's foster mom and she was extremely forthcoming and honest about his behavior, training and personality. She was right on the money and I appreciate this level of personal service.

Ultimately I ended up taking Donner (now Kirby) home and he is simply the sweetest and best dog ever. He goes motorcycle riding with me, camping, on road trips and we're a nearly inseparable team. Thank you Perfect Pet for your hard work, saving great dogs (aren't they all great?) and matching them up with the responsible owners who love them. If I could give them 20 stars, I would.
