AMANDA FOUNDATION

I called this rescue in hopes to try to rehome my animal or get any information about how I could do that. Less than 10 minutes later I got a voicemail completely chewing me out for even considering doing that. I called them back and they said I need to be better dog parenting and training my dog without asking any personal information about my story. She is so rude and this was extremely hurtful in my soul because it's already a hard decision. Please show compassion as I feel bad for anyone who has to deal with what I just dealt with. You should be ashamed of yourself. - There is a reason why they don't have reviews turned on. Don't donate here.

I had the pleasure of working with The Amanda Foundation. Their passion and commitment to animal welfare is outstanding. Staff members tirelessly provide love, attention, and exceptional care to every animal. Witnessing such dedication from an organization is truly heartening. I strongly recommend the Amanda Foundation to anyone looking to support or adopt a furry companion.

The Amanda Foundation is a remarkable organization, exemplifying both professionalism and genuine compassion. Their exceptional knowledge and expertise in caring for rescue dogs and cats ensure that every animal in their care receives the attention and love they deserve. Working with them has been a wonderful experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a dog or cat.

Working with this organization has been extremely rewarding. It's obvious that the staff at Amanda Foundation care about every single dog and cat under their care! I would highly recommend adopting from this rescue.

I have been a volunteer at the Amanda Foundation for over 30 years and have adopted three cats from them. I am always impressed by the level of love, caring, and dedication they spend to rescue animals and give them the best quality of life possible until they find their forever homes.I have absolutely nothing but the highest praise for this great organization!

I started volunteering at Amanda over 20 years ago.
I have adopted several of my pets from there and have placed many, many others in their new homes.
As a dedicated animal rescuer, Amanda Foundation is simply the best. Pure dedication to the welfare of animals and such a heart of generosity and love. I recommend to everyone. Grateful for Amanda Foundation for everything.

"Amanda" means "worthy of love" in Latin, and that says it all about this fantastic organization.

The dedication, care and love from the entire staff demonstrates exactly what you expect at the heart of a nonprofit. The work this team does to re-home, help and heal animals with their rescues, patients and in the community at large is amazing to watch. I'm always thrilled to support this amazing group and am excited to see how they continue to go the extra mile.

My sweet dog came from Amanda Twelve years ago and I was confident that she was healthy, chipped, and without hidden issues. Over the years I have recommended many people to Amanda, all of whom have been happy. The staff Is friendly, knowledgeable and eager to be helpful. I also use their veterinarian services and am pleased with their caring attitude and professional standards. In my view there is no better place to find a furry family member than at Amanda.

I’ve adopted 3 dogs and a cat from the Amanda Foundation and they are the loves of my life. The staff at Amanda spend loads of time with all of their animals which helps in the perfect placement. I can’t say enough good things, I love Amanda and I love my Amanda animals even more.

Have adopted from this organization and used their veterinary services. I’ve found them to be courteous, caring, and professional. Outstanding experience as an adopter and client, I would definitely adopt from them again and absolutely recommend their veterinary staff. We donate every year!

We are part of the Amanda Foundation family for life! We recently adopted twin dachshunds from the Foundation, and it was a truly incredible experience from start to finish. The Foundation's compassionate and diligent approach to finding forever homes for their animals ensures a compatible match for both humans and their furry friends. When we learned about the incredible work the Foundation does in the LA community, including education programs and low cost veterinary care for pet owners in need, we knew we had to find a way to support the Foundation in any way we could. From warm and caring staff members to the best veterinary care around, The Amanda Foundation is the type of organization that makes a truly positive impact in the world.

We LOVE the Amanda Foundation! We work with this organization and we see first hand how incredibly loving the entire team is with the pets in their care. As a matter of fact, we love them so much that we're in the process of adopting a puppy from them. We're also recommending the Amanda Foundation to ALL who want to add a furry loved one to their families. I can't praise them enough with all the great work they do taking care of the pets, their clinical needs, and educating the community.

Well, after volunteering there for a short while I found my fur-ever buddies, Fred and George. I'm writing this is a general member of the public, but as a volunteer I'd say no less then the following.

The adoption process with quick, easy, and most of all accountable. They take amazing care of all the animals at the Foundation and I know this as an adopted doggy parent and as a volunteer!

Secondly, the fact that they have their own in house, amazing, vet clinic is a testament to how much they love the animals and community they serve. Quality medical treatment and adoption treatment - what more can you ask for?

The entire staff there really, genuinely, love what they do there and I recommend ANYONE looking for a new best friend (or two like me), to definitely give them a shot. Definitely exceeds expectations.

The Amanda Foundation is a wonderful organization. I have had their help and support in several adoption experiences. I went back to them because I trusted their knowledge, experience and their desire to make a good match between the prospective adopter and the animal. They provide all medical information and answer questions about medical concerns openly. Jackie Reich was especially helpful. She gave me time to interact with different cats with no pressure. After adoptions took place, she kept in touch, answering questions and offering helpful suggestions.

I assisted this charity at its Wellness and Wags for Watts free clinics and was so blown away by the energy, generosity, kindness, commitment, and knowledge of every single staff member and volunteer. The Amanda Foundation is changing communities for the better through its educational programs, Spaymobile, and its consistent daily animal care and adoption work.

As a volunteer with the Amanda Foundation for over 20 years, I can attest to the highest degree of professionalism in the organization. Our family has adopted cats from Amanda and utilized their veterinary care. Each rescued dog and cat is treated with the highest respect, care, and love. The foundation utilizes the highest standards in finding "forever homes" for the animals and provides a safe and loving environment until that "forever home" is found.

My wife and I are so impressed with the passion exhibited by the Amanda Foundation in its cat adoption program. We have attended to many of their fund-raisers and have been impressed by the huge turn-out for these events. This group fills an essential role in the fabric of our society and its relationship to animals. I cannot say enough good things about the Amanda Foundation.

I adore the Amanda Foundation. They've connected us with two of the best furbabies we could ever dream of parenting. I've sent many friends there and they're equally thrilled with their adoptions. I will always adopt through the Amanda Foundation.

I fostered a kitty for them and they were very supportive of all her needs and welfare. They were greatly appreciative for my fostering because they cared so much for this kitty who had special needs and wanted the best for her. I would do it again with them in a second, (except my current kitty wouldn't allow it). They care so much about all their residents and having a vet on the premises makes the situation for the animals even better.

I’ve adopted three dogs and two cats from this Foundation and it has been nothing but the best experience. They really care about the animals.

Discovered The Amanda Foundation at a fundraising event in Los Angeles, met some of their adorable dogs and enthusiastic staff. Love this charity and so happy to donate to them whenever I can, and one day will definitely adopt a dog from them!

This nonprofit goes above and beyond in what they do. I have been following the work they do, and have done for years and am in awe of the tireless effort this non profit has for saving the lives of so many, possibly what would be refered to by others as “undeserving, and hard to home” Animals that now have a life worth living thanks to the Amanda foundation and their staff

My wife and I adopted an amazing cat a few years ago from this very professional, very caring organization. We include them on our donation roster every year!

I adopted our beautiful cat from the Amanda Foundation back in 2013, and commend them for being an organization who truly cares about the animals in their care, ensuring they are well cared for, loved, and carefully placed in excellent forever homes. I was so impressed with the whole adoption process, and am proud to have rescued our girl from them!

A year later I became a client of their veterinary practice as well, our German Shepherd seemed "off" and ultimately required emergency care. I was amazed and so appreciative of the care and concern shown and administered by everyone at the hospital. They all stayed late into the night, saving his life and making a lifetime supporter out of my grateful family.

I cannot say enough good things about this organization - their presence and positive impact in the community is felt and seen through their Spaymobile, Veterinary clinic, rescue and adoptions, fundraising events and outreach programs.

The Amanda Foundation works very hard to help dogs and cats throughout Los Angeles. They pull animals from city shelters, provide needed medical treatment and then find homes for them. The charity also runs the animal hospital, so they can help other rescues and individuals who can't afford veterinary services. And they run the spay and neuter program for the City of Los Angeles. This is a government program that has very strict requirements, so you either qualify for free service or you don't. They also do Pop Up Veterinary clinics in low income areas, providing free exams, X-Rays, surgeries and dentals. Because this is a private organization, they can decide what animals they take in and whom they adopt to. Some people have a problem with that, but I know the foundation wants the best for those they take in. If you look at the animals, they are all well cared for and know that they are loved.

When trying to call their your foundation I was met with extreme rudeness, and the responder on the phone a woman, hung up in my face, and would not let me speak to a supervisor, and she would not give me the company email.

I have been an attorney for a while, and have interacted with numerous people of different personalities. The receptionist is by far the rudest most racist person I have ever encountered in my life, and I have never ever had such poor customer service.

I am baffled that it was a non profit foundation I had called. I have run my own law firm before I became disabled, as well as a non profit organization for economically disadvantaged children, and I have never seen this sort of treatment to another human being.

I will look to see if there are any disability discrimination claims that I may pursue do to my treatment by your receptionist, and how she spoke to me about my disability. This treatment is horrendous, and unacceptable.

The receptionist makes the entire organization seem fraudulent. If they don't possibly like working with poor people, which I could tell immediately when I spoke to receptionist that she had an issue with me, then their foundation should not offer services if they cannot treat their customers with a modicum of respect.
