Bark n' Bitches

The owner clearly really cares and is passionate about dog rescue. Just listened to the canine conversation episode about her and after hearing her story she deserves much more then a 5 star rating. Wish you all the best!

Even tho the store on Fairfax closed, they are still hard at work protecting and saving dogs. I just adopted my rescue from them, and the process couldn’t have been smoother, even with a few steps to go thru. Quick to respond, eager to help, and they found a great, loving foster home for him before I could adopt. I would absolutely recommend them to find your new pup, help by fostering, or to support their work charitably. Thanks for Hank! ❤ufe0f

A pet shop selling rescue dogs! Heavenly in every respect. Thank you Shannon. ud83dudc99ud83dudc99ud83dudc99ud83dudc99ud83dudc99ud83dudc99ud83dudc99

This adoption center has saved over 7000 dogs over the years. They have a real soft spot for pits, so they are great for pits if you're looking.nnAlso recently found out that kids required to do community service were allowed to do hours at this adoption center. Saw that some of them stayed on after their hours were up and even became very techs.nnThis is a really great organization doing great things for dogs in LA. If every shelter had an adoption center like this working with it, so many more dogs could be saved.

I came in with my husband about a year ago and we met this dog that I really liked and took him for a walk and he had some pretty serious psych issues with being on a harness... I wasn’t nearly as concerned as my husband was and we started the adoption process. We had to wait a long time to get someone’s attention to start the process... something like 30 minutes, which seemed excessive. We started the process by presenting something like $450 for the adoption fee (not a nonprofit... they’re a “humane pet shop” so I understand... but just go to the shelter, really) and we understood that this was to cover medical expenses. But here’s the thing — they couldn’t find the medical records. They didn’t even know when he had been neutered or if he’d even had some basic vaccinations, including kennel cough. The owner got involved and started hunting for the medical records and presented us with some information about the shelter the dog had come from, but still no actual proof of vaccinations or date he was neutered. We were more or less told “take it or leave it” and we left it.nnI’m sure that I will see a response to this with some sharp response as to why I’m wrong or how I don’t understand some part of the process. Read these reviews. Every five star review has heaps of praise and then the one star reviews tell people they are wrong or stupid. It’s very telling about how they run their business. I don’t doubt the passion of the people who work there, but I think organization, transparency and ownership of their actions are sorely lacking. I feel that if this place closed, it would be to the benefit of pets and their caretakers.nnUpdate 2/25/2020 just drove by and they have “store closing” signs up. Good riddance.
