Adoptions
Give a Furry Friend a Forever Home
For over 40 years, Amanda has been rescuing dogs and cats from city and county shelters around Los Angeles and finding them loving homes. We are a safe haven for homeless dogs and cats where they receive the care and love they deserve as well as the medical attention so many need. Be an “I Rescued” family, and give one of our orphan dogs or cats their furrever home.

Why Adopt?
Open your heart and home to a rescue pet
Looking for a furry friend to join your family?
Consider opening your heart and home to a rescue pet! Shelters and rescues are brimming with amazing animals waiting for their forever families.
Here’s why adopting is the paw-sitively perfect choice:
• Saving a Life: Every rescue animal adopted is a life saved from a crowded shelter or potential euthanasia.
• Unique Personalities: Rescue pets come in all shapes, sizes, breeds, and mixes. You’ll find a unique soul who perfectly complements your lifestyle and personality.
• Gratefully Integrated: When you rescue a pet, they know you saved them, and that creates a special bond between you. Rescue pets are usually already socialized, housebroken, and comfortable in a home, making them them the perfect new addition to your family.
• Healthy Companions: Amanda prioritizes spaying/neutering and basic health checks to promote overall well-being.
• Breaking the Cycle: By adopting a rescue pet, you’re saying no to unethical backyard breeders and puppy mills that prioritize profit over animal health.
The Dark Side of Breeding
Backyard Breeders: These operations prioritize profit over the health of breeding animals. Dogs from such sources often have genetic health problems, leading to high veterinary bills and potential surrenders. Essential health screenings are often neglected, and breeding females are overworked without regard for their natural cycles.
Don’t perpetuate the cycle of pet homelessness. Choose adoption and experience the unconditional love of a rescue pet. There’s a perfect match waiting for you at Amanda.
