About

Director and Founder, Erin Lovejoy has been an animal advocate since she was a child. With a Sales and Marketing background, she was familiar with the techniques that would help launch her vision of The Lovejoy Foundation. The vision was a peaceful outside setting, for a dog and puppy sanctuary; a place for the public to come and play and adopt the puppies and dogs. Erin stands strong behind her belief that through educating the youth, the awareness will impact the future dramatically with the neglected, abandoned and abused animals on the streets and in the shelters. Her goal is no dog is left without a purpose, or without a job, or without a home. Since April of 2010, Erin has been building her vision, she has rescued, rehabilitated and re-homed more than 8000 dogs to date. Erin strives towards her vision every day, pushing through the trenches of rescue holding adoptions every Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine. She has spent countless hours and resources lending a helping hand to the many owner surrenders, stray dogs, and injured animals, giving them all the support they need. With the incredible dedication of her family, standing by her side day in and day out, keeping with the same passion, Erin, her family, and The Lovejoy Foundation have reduced the intakes in the local shelters dramatically. Erin's motto is "Touching lives one animal at a time" Hopefully, it will not be long before her vision will unfold to what she has been living and creating every day.

Adoption process

Our adoption process starts with an application, a face to face interview, then a home check. We want all family members to be present during the adoption process as well as any other dogs in the home. Each adopter is matched with the best fit for the family or applicant as well as the needs of the dog or puppy of interest. As sometimes we guide applicants to a better fit. Our goal is that when you come to us for a new family member we make that match the best of the best. Your adoption fee includes spay or neuter, microchip, Rabies, all three rounds of DHPP and Bordetella. We treat for parasites and give you two hours of free in home training with one of our amazing trainers on staff. Our adoption fee is $450. We offer a $50 discount for seniors and also Veterans. First step in our adoption process is an application, this tells us all we need to know about you, your lifestyle, needs so that we can do the best job possible to match your needs with the needs of the dog or puppy that best fits you. Although whether you fill out an application online or at one of our adoption events, a face to face interview and a home check are normal procedures in our adoption process and adoption qualification. We do not usually adopt outside of the Southern California but each situation can present circumstances that allow an adoption outside of the area to be considered. All dogs/puppies are required to have a collar and Lovejoy Foundation ID tag on them the day they leave for their new forever home. As stated in the contract collar and ID is to remain on the dog or puppy at all times.
