I adopted a dog from the Bill Foundation. I was especially struck by the fact that this particular dog had a very bad case of Mange and was taken out of a shelter and was receiving treatment at a local Vet.....all funded by Bill Foundation. I adopted him partially hairless. His name is Percy and he is now 6 years old and is my constant loving companion! The people who run Bill F. are the most passionate and tireless workers for the placement of dogs in their forever homes !!!!!!

9 years ago we adopted two dogs from the Bill Foundation: Buddy [a border collie mix] and Dora [an Akita/Shepherd mix]. The founder cares passionately about the dogs she fosters and takes the right steps to qualify potential new owners of these wonderful animals. We love them all!

We adopted 2 dogs and have fostered 3 for this incredible organization. One dog, Minnie, is a therapy dog who visits the Jewish Home for the Aging and does Skirball Hospice work with her owner as well. 2 of the 3 fosters have found forever homes and the 3rd foster is being rehabilitated and will find his forever home soon. We can't say enough good things about the Bill Foundation. Neil & Betsey Roberts

I adopted a dog from the Bill Foundation a year ago and my life hasn't been the same since. This little girl has brought so much joy to my life I did not know was even imaginable. The service the Bill Foundation provided me in the adoption process was wonderful and all the help they have provided me since the adoption has been just as great. If you are thinking about adopting they are great!

my own life with the adoption of a wonderful little dog named Fiona :)
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
make no changes. I wish I could help them more financially or by offering my own time but I'm just not able to. I do know that I would and will adopt from them again.

Ways to make it better...
nothing could have changed the wonderful experience I've had.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
lack of funding to do all the great they can for all the animals that need homes.
One thing I'd also say is that...
the Bill Foundation is a great organization!

The Bill Foundation is a great group. Their dogs are very WELL taken care of, get the best medical care, live in foster homes that know their dogs well (which makes adopting and making a match easy because they know their dogs), the people are friendly and helpful and their dogs are cute, sweet and loving. The people @ the Bill foundation do all they can to help you find the right match and they are very prompt to get the adoption process up and running so they can carefully place the dog in its forever home. They are also very careful about how and where their dogs are placed. They're main goal is to save lives, give them great care while they search for a home and do all they can to find the perfect home for each pet!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
services I provide, volunteer work that I do, dogs I've helped them place, dogs Ive seen THEM place, many adoptions I've stopped by or dropped off dogs at, and many more. I've been working with and for this rescue for over 6yrs and they are amazing.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Not change a thing. They are a great group that tries their best for each pet they rescue.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
that they do right by every dog. They do all they can for each pet and I know that every animal is safe and in good hands with the Bill Foundation!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
All amazing. Loving and loyal to this wonderful group.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Do a lot of wonderful things for the animals that need their help! The more money they have, the more lives they can save.
Ways to make it better...
more people stepped up to help them and applaud them for the wonderful work they do! I think I would like to see more people step up for them! They are great and shouldnt change!
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
the financial problems in the economy! for non profits to run, they need donors, funds, sponsors, etc. The more financial help they can get, the more lives they can help and save. Running a non profit is not an easy task.
One thing I'd also say is that...
times are hard, but if a group is great and do the right thing, people will help and support them. they just have to stay positive and know that their work is not taken for granted or unappreciated.

I have been to several public and private shelters before we adapted the first dog, and this Bill Foundation excelled in every possible way how their dogs will have a good home. We now have three dogs and they all came from Bill Foundation.

I went to an adoption event at Centinela Pet Supply sponsored by the Bill Foundation and found the most beautiful one year old basset. The Bill Foundation interviewed me, came to my home, etc to make sure we were a suitable family and Oliver has enriched our lives as we have helped his for over two years now. They are caring individuals, I contribute to their Foundation as often as possible as they do wonderful match-ups for needy animals and deserving families.

This is a FANTASTIC organization - for dogs and for their prospective new people! I knew very little about dogs when I first decided I wanted to adopt. Bill Foundation staff members spent time telling me about things I should think about, look for, and know. They told me how they screen new families (e.g., home visits, etc.) and how their operation works to match dogs with people. They also indicated that I should feel free to utilize them for information even if I went with another rescue. I was incredibly impressed with the selfless help I received from the Bill Foundation and with their solid commitment to placing dogs with the most compatible people. (Since that time, I have been to more than one of their dog adoptions and viewed their web site & available dog listings on multitudinous occasions.) They make every effort to ensure that their rescues have the least possible amount of additional trauma. I am so certain of them that I have stipulated in my will that, should my first choice be unavailable upon my death, the Bill Foundation should take custody of and place my dogs. I have also left the Foundation a portion of whatever funds I may have when I die. Whatever amount that may be, it will in no way reimburse them for the immense expenditure of time, effort, and materials that they lovingly provide to the animal and human public. In my opinion, the Bill Foundation should be the model on which all animal rescues operate.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my attempts to adopt a dog (see above review) and in my attendance at various dog adoptions simple as a "Looky Lou"!!

We adopted a 10 month old mutt from Bill Foundation in 2004. He was pretty homely looking with his ears back, but he was the only black furry dog available, and that is what I had always had. ONce he was at ease and his ears perked up, we have the most adorable terrier mix ever. Hie is so glad to have found a home that he pays us back every way he can think of. BF drove him over an hour to bring him to us and see our home to be sure it was suitable. We filled out lengthy adoption papers, promised to keep the BF tag on him at all times, and were told about his ID chip. BF could not have done a more thorough job of caring for our dog Scruffy.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
BF stays in touch with me annually, and has many intriguing fund raisers. We went to one at a stylish venue in Hollywood which was lots of fun, with a good silent auction, etc.

I have seen so many dogs change not only their demeanor but their trust and overall well being because of the bill foundation. They not only save lives but they enable lives to flourish from animals and humans alike. I personally know franklin- he has the most upbeat unique personality and I have the bill foundation to thank for this. I know they are in financial trouble due to the recession. We as a community need to strive to keep this place open!!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
adoption, well being, better healthcare for these animals...the areas are essentially endless. this company has as I said above changed these dogs lives and the humans that have been a part of the process in any way was well.
