My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Imagine jumping into the car with your beloved person, excited to be going on yet another adventure. Then, without warning, your person stops the car, hands you over to a stranger, gets back in the car, and leaves…without you. This is exactly what happened to Bella, our beautiful and stately 8-year-old Schnauzer mix. How can someone do this? Sadly, it happens all the time. …and so began the journey to help Bella rebuild her life, to help Bella relearn the joys of being a dog, and to help Bella trust the strangers she meets. More importantly, Bella is learning that loving someone doesn’t have to hurt. It’s taken three months, but this lovely lady is finally beginning to enjoy our company. Whether it be a rousing game of fetch, a long walk, or some cuddling with kisses initiated by Bella, she is realizing that humans aren’t so bad after all. …and we have promised her that her next car ride will be to her final forever home where her new family will continue to help her overcome her understandable anxiety. Bella weighs 23 pounds and is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. So.., why don’t you head on over and be the family that helps us keep our promise to this very gentle spirit named Bella?

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All potential adoptors are required to complete our application and contract. Our contract stipulates the requirements for care of our pets. These documents are available on our site, www.perfectpetrescue.com The documents are reviewed by our staff and together with a face to face interview we explore the potential new home. If all parties agree to the specifics of the contract the dog can go home. Our adoption fee is $250.00. Each dog goes home with a complete set of veterinary records, micro chip, collar with tag and leash. We are available to discuss issues regarding training and health which can arise after adoption.

Go meet their pets

We show by appointment during the week at our veterinarians office where our pets are boarded. We are available in the evening as well as daytime hours. On Saturday we take the dogs to an adoption in Santa Monica, then on Sunday we go to an adoption site in Los Angeles. All info regarding location, hours and maps are on our site, www.perfectpetrescue.com.

More about this rescue

We are a non-profit 501(c)3 whose goal is to save as many dogs as we can from ending their lives in the shelters. We are staffed almost entirely by volunteers who drive to shelters on a daily basis. We have been in operation 365 days a year for 14 years. Although we charge an adoption fee our main source of money to care for the dogs is from our annual fund raiser. We welcome new volunteers to help walk and love our dogs, and would be thrilled to have foster home volunteers.
