Bonnie's Forever Story

Bonnie (fka Carly) has been adopted! Bonnie's parents met and adopted her at the NKLA Adoption Weekend event. They are experienced dog owners and are excited to have a dog in their home again. They are going to enroll in obedience classes and enjoy running around the Silver Lake reservoir - athletic Bonnie will get lots of exercise.

Sammie was Adopted from NKLA!

Sammie's family was looking for a calm, more reserved dog and she was their perfect match. Sammie is their only pet, and they take her to doggie daycare and on walks to Petco so that she can continue to have socialization and experiences to build her confidence, using other dogs to influence her.

Lady is Adopted

Lady (fka Raven) has been adopted from the NKLA Pet Adoption Center! Lady's mom said goodbye to her beloved pit bull last summer and she was finally ready to get a new dog. After meeting a shepherd mix at an adoption event and falling in love, she thought about it and really wanted to adopt a pit bull, so she researched "LA pit bull rescue"; ACPB came up and she saw Raven's photo and submitted an application for adoption. Our adoptions coordinator sent her to the center where she adopted Raven immediately after meeting her ... and then she adopted the shepherd puppy as well!

Princess Leia's Adoption Tale

Princess Leia's (fka Babe) family met her at NKLA Adoption Weekend and decided that this loving and athletic girl was the perfect addition to their family. They decided to name her Princess Leia to commemorate her adoption on "May the Fourth." Leia is settled in with her fantastic new family, which includes a shy, but playful canine brother, Dutch. We are so elated this former baby mama found her forever home just shortly after her 10 puppies were adopted.

Achilles Has Been Adopted

Achilles (fka Mason) has been adopted! Mason is a sweet handsome boy who came to us from an independent rescuer. He had been hit by a car and was living under a van. After surgery to repair his broken hip, and months of physical therapy, Mason was ready to find his forever home. Lucky for him, a lovely couple was beginning the search for their new family member.

Bam Bam Is Adopted

Bam Bam (fka Smoochie) has been adopted from the NKLA Pet Adoption Center! Bam Bam's family had pit bulls growing up and were interested in adopting another. They'd visited the NKLA Center a couple times, but just did not find their adoption match. They first learned of Smoochie when their friend, who also happened to be her foster, posted her photo on Facebook. She mentioned to them that Smoochie was heading to NKLA Pet Adoption Center and they acted quickly to meet here there, where they ended up adopting her!

Hutch's Adoption Tale

Hutch's mom knew she wanted to adopt and had some experience in the past with fostering pit bulls. She found us on Petfinder and got in touch with our adoptions coordinator who recommended she head to the NKLA center to check out our dogs. At the center she'd planned to look at female dogs since she had always had females in the past, but then she met Hutch and knew that he was the best match for her.

Pancake Has Been Adopted

Pancake's new mom started following us on Facebook after a local rescuer referred her to our organization. She emailed us after seeing Pancake posted on our page for Foster Friday, as she had fallen in love with her name and cute face from the moment she saw her. A meet and greet was arranged and she immediately knew Pancake was a great match for her family.

Lucy Was Adopted

Lucy (fka Miley) has been adopted! Lucy's mom submitted an adoption application in February hoping we could match her with one of our dogs. Her family has a couple of pit bull mixes that she loves and she wanted to adopt one of her own. After a quick conversation with her, a meet and greet was arranged and they adoption was finalized.

Mouse Has Been Adopted!

Mouse has been adopted from the NKLA Pet Adoption Center! Mouse's parents first noticed him when they scrolled past the "baseball puppies" on our Facebook page and saw our posting of him. They contacted us just as Mouse was heading on over to the NKLA center, and then ran over to meet him immediately. They arrived before we could even complete his intake forms - making this adoption a record at the center for amount of time spent there!
