LA dog adoption: adopting a dog in Los Angeles

How do I adopt a dog in LA?

Open any dog above and use the button at the bottom of its page. Some LA rescues take email inquiries; most ask for an adoption application first. LUVD sends you to whichever step that rescue actually requires, so you don't get bounced.

Which rescues does LUVD cover?

LUVD follows A Purposeful Rescue, Angel City Pit Bulls, Love Leo Rescue, Much Love Animal Rescue, Outta the Cage, The Animal Rescue Mission, The HIT Living Foundation, The LaBelle Foundation, Wagmor Pets, Wags & Walks and spcaLA — Los Angeles. We check their rosters about every 15 minutes and show you what's new, so you don't have to keep a dozen tabs open.

How often is LUVD updated?

We check rescue rosters about every 15 minutes and refresh full details hourly. Rescue websites can take time to update. Morning email digests still arrive once a day.

What does it cost to adopt in LA?

Fees are set by each rescue and usually run about $150–$500, typically covering spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchipping. Where a rescue publishes the fee, it's shown on that dog's page.

Which dogs work in an apartment?

Every dog gets an apartment-fit rating alongside energy level and how much dog experience it needs. These are estimates drawn from the rescue's own write-up and breed tendencies — the rescue knows the individual dog best.
