We Need Your Support to Continue Rescuing Animals

Please take notice: We’re currently at capacity and unable to accept new rescues. You can go to any LA County Animal Shelter to turn in a found animal. See our list of no-kill animal shelters from our Pet Adoption Guide: Los Angeles, CA.

Local Los Angeles Animal Rescue Center: USAKARA

We provide our animals with a loving home—not just a shelter. In addition, for every rescue we provide essential vet care, vaccines, food, and grooming. USAKARA is a Los Angeles based 501(c)(3) non-profit, and we’ve been proudly rescuing animals since 1994.
