Angels Bark Dog Rescue is a boutique 501(c)(3) non-profit tax- exempt organization which was established by Nes Gutman in 2014. While ABDR focuses on rescuing purebred and mixed German Shepherds as well as a variety of other breeds from high kill shelters in the Los Angeles, CA area, ABDR is committed to saving dogs before they are put down, many on their very last day. ABDR often saves seniors, dogs with special needs, and dogs with behavioral issues. All ABDR’s rescues initially go to foster homes to help them adjust and transition from shelters to a household environment. They receive medical care and training as needed. The rescue has been enormously successful, saving dozens of incredible dogs, as a result of its dedicated network of volunteers, who share in ABDR’s commitment to rescue these amazing animals.
If you see a dog that you are interested in adopting, please fill out an Adoption Application. Your application will then be reviewed. We strive to place our dogs into homes that we feel will be best suited for the dog(s). Our goal is to provide permanent, loving homes. If your application is approved, we will set up a home check at your residence. After your home check is approved, we will set up a day/time for you to meet the dog(s) that you are interested in. If the “meet and greet” goes well, you will sign an adoption contract and pay the non-refundable adoption fee; subsequently, the dog will be left in your care. The adoption fee for all adult dogs over 6 months of age is $400. The adoption fee for dogs under 6 months of age is $650. Please keep in mind that our rescue helps many dogs in need of vetting and we are a non-profit organization. The adoption fee will be used to help rescue and care for other homeless dogs in danger. Our adoption policies are based on our knowledge, experience, and ability to save rescued dogs. We reserve the right to approve or deny any adoption that occurs through this organization, without disclosure. Our adoption committee carefully reviews every application. We reserve the right to make exceptions for special circumstances. All dogs have been Vetted, Spayed/Neutered and Microchipped, as well as vaccinated.
