One of the truly great non-profits in the world. Working in veterinary medicine I see a lot of rescue groups and many sadly are all about the people, Kris Kelly is all about the animals. She is their voice. She would lay down her life for them. Case in point—the sweet soul in the picture with her. When all the local vets told her it was hopeless she said “no.” She kept fighting. She called me. We talked and she kept fighting. And this sweet souls is happy and living her life. God bless her and her devotion
Kris Kelly is an Angel I cant say enough great things about her organization. We have our Chester because of her and appreciate all she does for the fur babies
The first time I met Kris was through facebook. I was doing some work in Compton and a pitbull ran by me, blood all over its face,,, I was so bumped out. I posted a pic of the dog running away, not really knowing what to do. I remember Kris giving me GREAT advice ... Its helped from the future on and we have stayed connected, I have TWO RESCUE PUPS from kris and I'm sure ill have more... I will help Kris forever. She is a true Angel. Let be honest, NOT MANY people (maybe 1%) can do this on a DAILY basis.. SO give when you can,, Give yourself a pat on the back if you do BECAUSE IT TRULY HELPS HER!.. I will keep giving because I cant do much more ... BUT i know Kris can... #donate #save #an #animal.
Kris helped connect me with my best pal, Taco. She's doing a wonderful job at finding homes for animals in need and I very much recommend working with her group.
I have a business located in a very rural area of Riverside. I get a lot of abandoned dogs and other animals that I cant take care of and they cant take care of themselves in that environment. My go to person is Kris when this happens. She always finds homes for the animals that need it and does not let them go to people that are nothing but the best. I follow her Facebook page along with many others in CA but she really sticks out for the right reasons. People can be so cruel so its nice to see someone who really cares for all the animals.
Kris, is amazing! Her indefatigable drive to save and rescue as many animals is incredible. She's helped save countless animal's lives and is always ready to lend a hand, day or night, (and often in the middle of the night) to help an animal in need. She's an amazing woman.
I have had several years positive experience with the Kris Kelly Foundation, and I believe they are an outstanding nonprofit for animal welfare, and I fully support them! Kris Kelly is such a caring, compassionate person, and I am so impressed by her active engagement in the community to speak up for animal rescue. I think she rescues primarily dogs and cats, but I've noted other rescue efforts as well, including chickens, pigs, etc. Ms Kelly is often on the front lines, personally rescuing and caring for animals. She has personally influenced my life in that I've become more involved in animal rescue, as well as changing my lifestyle to a healthy veggie/vegan diet. I am much healthier & happier now as a result. Please consider supporting the Kris Kelly Foundation. It is truly a wonderful cause!

As a filmmaker and animal rescue advocate, I have worked with many rescues around the world. I have known Kris Kelly for several years and her Foundation is outstanding! Kris works with dedication & integrity & compassion to help animals, and to me, is a role model for anyone who does rescue. As other reviewers have noted, Kris walks the talk, and animals truly come 1st. She works tirelessly to be a voice for animals, to make this a better world for them, and actively uses social media to raise awareness. Kris is on the front lines, doing everything she can to be personally involved in animal rescue. She is the best and certainly deserves our support!
As an animal rescuer and advocate I am always looking for fellow animal lovers who truly care-who truly do the work of loving and saving animals. Kris is the real deal. The Kris Kelly foundation is an organization that I donate too whenever I can because I trust her.
So grateful to this beauty for her tireless efforts to be a voice for the animals that have no voice. Kris is always doing whatever she can to save as many animals as possible.
Kris and her team are simply amazing. Her first and most important priorities are the animals and I can't thank her enough for all of their hard work and support. She connects with shelters, rescues and every day goes above and beyond. I can't say how many times, she has been there for the rescue that I volunteer with and pulled a dog, fostered and even had a shelter pup get his own private plane to fly to his new home.
Kris makes my heart sing with all of the many things that she does and I thank her everyday that she is there to be the voice for so many animals that are struggling in our world today.
Thank you Kris and your amazing staff. Keep up the great work. We love you!
I first found the Kris Kelly organization on Facebook randomly from a post that I saw to save a dog. I remember making a very small contribution to that cause and I began to follow Kris Kelly. After seeing how much effort she puts in to this organization and how many people she helps I was blown away. Whether it’s finding fosters and transports or homeless dogs reunited with their owners. I see how many animals she saves and I have no idea how she does it. I couldn’t even open the emails every day that she has to read and some of them are unkind from people who are cruel and hateful for no reason attacking her. They don’t even understand how much work goes on behind the scenes to run a place like this. Kris always handles herself with such class and I’m convinced she’s an angel for animals. We need more organizations like this in the world!
Since its founding The Kris Kelly Foundation has been at the forefront of animal welfare efforts most notably in the Southern California area. The foundation's continuous efforts to provide healthcare and homes for neglected animals have earned it the reputation of being one of the most successful and effective animal welfare groups anywhere in the SoCal area. In addition to its regular fieldwork in the Los Angeles area to rescue abused/neglected animals, the foundation is also consistently recognized as being a top animal rights advocacy group.
Kris Kelly has one of the biggest hearts and reputable companies in the rescue business- I have know Kris for over 13 years and have worked steadily with her foundation. Her commitment to animal rescue is far and above and she works tirelessly to place each and every animal from cat, to dog, to turtles, pigs and chickens.
Ive been a foster for TKKF for nearly a decade, as well as having adopted animals through her. She is supportive and wonderful to volunteer for. Her passion for savings all animals is endless.

She has dedicated herself to love and service of rescue animals. She has generously given her time and energy to help stop the animal abuse that happens all too often here in Southern California. I am very fortunate to have met Kris and share this incredible journey together. If anyone needs support, direction and or help in protecting our beautiful animals Kris is your girl,
Thank you Kris,

Kris reached out to me if I would be able to take in some turtles I thought her foundation only rescues dogs and cats!! So wonderful and amazing that she aids in rescuing all animals, she truly is an angel to all of Gods creatures!!!
I adopted my amazing Rottsky Ringo from Kris and Nikki. They are loving people who probably spend 20 hours a day saving animals of all varieties. Awesome!!!
I’m a lucky momma of a foster fail thanks to Kris continually posting the scared, helpless and abused babies to protect them from the wrongs of the world! Can’t thank her enough for the work that she does, the people who help and the souls she saves! She works tirelessly with highs and lows from her passion for ALL animals!! From dogs to turtles, cats to pigs and even horses! Love knows no boundaries with Kris!
The Kris Kelly foundation goes above and beyond for animals, they are a rescue that far exceeds expectations of a rescue. They have garnered my respect so much so to the point where i decided to choose them as one of the rescues i would sponsor and help financially. 5 Stars across the board.

Kristine goes above and beyond never seen anyone have more passion for anything in her life and I have known her most of my life! She is devoted to these animals all the way to her grave and after! I wish everyone had her strength to go after the animals rightstil the end. She is truly the guardian angel to all animals!
The Kris Kelly Foundation has a tireless advocate and recuser at its lead who will go anywhere at any time to save an animal. They provide short and long term veterinary care to injured rescues (I adopted a dog that had been hit by a car and had a broken jaw and hip and was in vet for more than two months). This is definitely a rescue group worth supporting.
This is a great organization and they always return calls. They are very professional and truly care about animals. Kris leads with her heart!
We are so in love with our rescue dog “Scruffy”, he’s amazing!!!! We can’t thank the Kris Kelly Foundation enough. Forever grateful!
Sweetest.. kindest lady doing her best for the fur babies in need.. please just look at what she's done.. so many saved.. rescued.. adopted....
Kris and her huge network of concerned amazing people are like the Energizer Bunnies of rescue world as they are non-stop day and night advocating for every kind of animal being. Whether it's a senior dumped at a kill shelter, a family desperate to re-home a beloved pet, homeless animals on the street, helping find a needed wheelchair for a disabled pet or helping return a beloved dog to it's family by tracking down the dog-napper, the Kris Kelly Foundation knows no bounds and will fight, pull, transport or advocate for any animal in need. I feel privileged to know them and to work with them whenever possible.
Kris Kelly is so amazing for the work she does helping animals!! She helped a friend of mine find a great home for a service dog that wasn’t right for her. She is truly a miracle worker!!

The Kris Kelly organization is beyond amazing. I commend you for the wonderful work you do.....for giving so many beautiful creatures a second chance in life. You more than deserve 5 stars!!!!
This animal rescue goes above and beyond to help all animals. Not just cats and dogs but all animals in need. Kris has devoted her life to this cause and I have seen firsthand that all money raised goes directly to helping animals. She helped to save my dog, who is now my best friend of course, and I am eternally grateful to her for her devotion and generosity and her unending care for our many animals in need. Keep up the great work Kris!
The Kris Kelly Foundation is great.They help the animals that have no voice and are so vulnerable and need y.
Kris Kelly Foundation is truly one of the world’s most compassionate and professional organization I’ve ever dealt with. My family and I only have good things to say about how they handled our rescue. Would not call anyone else but them. Kris Kelly is a true professional.

I've worked with the The Kris Kelly Foundation for a few years now and it is by far one of the most transparent organizations in existence. Kris Kelly is honest, compassionate and ethical. She works tirelessly to enhance the lives and overall wellness of animals. With so many subpar organizations out there, I've grown very cautious of who I work with and support...Kris Kelly has never disappointed me. I trust her judgment and love her character. May God Bless you Kris Kelly, you are a rescue Angel!!
My name is Judy,
I met Kris several years ago as a donor-
I was super impressed compassion and dedication to the animals- From
Birds to pigs doesn’t matter- she always here to lend a hand- I send her quite often pictures of animals and she is already on it or right there to help- I don’t know how she does it-She is simply the best❤️

I have never come across such a caring, responsible, high integrity rescue like the Kris Kelly Foundation. Not only they go above and beyond the call of duty, but the level of caring is off the charts.
Kris Kelly herself is constantly involved and making every effort to save lives, even though, at times.
The Kris Kelly Foundation is a blessing to animals and to humans.
Thank you, Kris Kelly Foundation!! You are THE BEST!!!

Kris Kelly and her Foundation go above and beyond the LA area! Their reach is as far as Kris, her volunteers and her connections can imagine! No animal is left to wonder if tomorrow will dawn. I have transported for Kris for the last number of years, doing whatever I can for this organization. Kris is the master of multi-tasking and can have an animal taken care of in a matter of minutes to hours. The stories run deep, the emotiions high and the rewards always make your heart throb in more ways than one but keep you coming back to help again and again, because there is always one more, no matter how hard we all work!
Thank you Kris for your countless hours of time and endless nights up travelling with the rest of us to make each life better, because YOU cared more than most!
I met Kris on Facebook several years ago. I watched her with urgency saving pets getting transporters, donations and vets. I got involved with donations,
and even sending pets I saw that needed help. She is Amazing and quite frankly beyond knowledgeable. I love her and the service she provides. go Kelly!
Living in Southern California is beautiful but with the beauty comes the masses of abandoned, abused and homeless animals.
The Kris Kelly Foundation has worked tirelessly to rescue animals from dogs to turtles and Kris Kelly doesn’t stop until the animal is safe.
No animal is left behind.
A wonderful a caring Charity - The Kris Kelly Foundation
The Kris Kelly Foundation is probably in my opinion the very best rescue organization that I have ever personally seen in action, I have adopted rescue animals my whole life. Time and time again I have witnessed the heroic measures that Kris Kelly and her organization have gone above and beyond to not only save the animals but to ensure their health and wellbeing.
I personally was blessed to be on the receiving end with a dog named Winnie, that would not had a chance of survival had it not been for Kris Kelly and her dedicated team. This 'little girl' was to be pts at the end of the day. Having been badly abused and her very unfortunate circumstances of having her eye removed, Kris Kelly went to the end of the earth to not only save her life, but put her with the very best foster Mom until she was well enough to travel just over 6 weeks later and flew from California to Illinois to a new beginning of unconditional love, safety, healing and now forever home.
Fast forward 6 months later, Winnie has other dog siblings in our loving and very safe home and is learning to let go of her past of abuse, showering us all with her unconditional love!
I would do anything in the world for this very remarkable lady, Kris Kelly, she has gone above and beyond with her constant support of dealing with Winnie's PTSD, but additionally, guiding us to be the best we can be for her and her needs.
We have not only adopted a beautiful dog but along this journey we have been privileged to meet one of kindest, loving, dedicated, relentless people that I know...Kris Kelly, I'm proud to call you my friend!
If you have not had the wonderful opportunity to work with, donate to or rescue one of the animals from The Kris Kelly Foundation, do yourself and her animals a favor and help in whatever way you can to help Kris's Foundation and her animals!
This is an amazing oranization. Kris Kelly works tirelessly to place each and every needy animal that she possibly can. Her network is as huge as her heart. The efforts put forth by her team & caring people amaze me every day. Please donate or purchase fundraising items. Not a dollar is wasted. All funding goes towards care and placement of the sweet animals that need us.
Kris Kelly is one of the MOST dedicated and devoted animal rescuers I have ever known ~ her tireless work has saved countless lives and she continues to help every animal she possible can and works endlessly to raise funds, find fosters and forever homes as well as rescuing abused and neglected dogs and other animals in great need. Please contribute what you can to this incredible foundation ~ Kris Kelly truly deserves recognition and support for her incredible efforts and hard work ~ !!!
I first learn about Kris Kelly foundation through a friend. I followed her foundation for a while before I reached out to offer my home for fostering, she has been one of the most proactive responsible rescues I have ever volunteered with. She walks her talk and will stop at nothing to help a fur baby be safe in a home that can provide that safety. She educates her volunteers and will help in anyway she can. It’s a pleasure to not only be a foster for her but, also be a Donner! I am not new at being a foster, but, have learned not all rescues are AAA. With Kris Kelly foundation you can be confident your time, efforts and money is well utilized.
We have had the honor of knowing Kris Kelly and her foundation! She is thee most hard working, selfless, kind, lady I have ever met. I reached out to her about a tripod GS who was going to be put down at a shelter. I was heartbroken. I wrote Kris and within the hour she got the necessary paperwork ready and went and pulled the dog. I will never forget what she did for me and the precious GS dog. She saved his life. He has been adopted and living a happy life. I know when I reach out to her and the foundation they are there! I have put all my love and trust in her. May God bless her and the foundation forever. Thank you for your tireless efforts to save all the animals you can. We love you Kris Ed and Sharon Ellis
Kris Kelly is a friend of mine and I support her in so many ways. Her efforts are never ending for the animals in need. Kris's heart is so big and her passion really hits home for the safety of these animals. Thank you, Kris for all you do!
Kris Kelly's great, inspiring leadership makes this nonprofit one of the most effective I've ever seen in saving animals every day. It is truly inspiring to see Kris tirelessly help abandoned, neglected and abused pets.
I can't say enough about the Kris Kelly Foundation. They always go out their way to help animals when others just turn their head, be it medical needs, or abuse situation, or an animal that's been hit by a car . Kris will do what she can , she's not afraid to jump inmake a difference.
Thank you Kris Kelly for all you do, keep up the good work

These folks really helped save my girl from certain by the shelter she was in last year. Dominique, or Nikki for short is my constant companion. I had previously had a shi tzu/peek mix for 14 years and had to have her put to sleep. UGHHHHHHH! Heartbroken. Was without a dog for 2 months and couldn't stand the lack of companionship from an animal. I'm married, but my wife doesn't need her water bowl filled every day... So I look for a dog. Found her in the Downey shelter. Turnd out that she could not be released to the public because of her behavior. Fear was the main issue that was causing her to appear vicious. Love is greater than fear. I loved this dog. My love has grown. But Kris was instrumental in getting her released to me. Many unsure hours but Kris encouraged me to have faith. Around closing time at the shelter she got put in her crate for her trp to Los Feliz. Upon her arrival and the opening of the crate door, I put a piece of chicken jerky between my lips and with no fear got down on my hands an knees and put my face in front of her's and she left the crate to take that faithful step to trust and carefully take the jerky from my lips. Never to return to the crate. A year has passed and we've grown closer. Sleeps with me and still takes treat from my mouth!
Kris Kelly foundation is awesome! Kris Kelly is always rescuing dogs from shelters, from the streets she is everywhere and till finds time to help dogs in Tijuana, Mexico as well as help with my rescues and problems in Monterrey, Mexico. What a great and lovely person she is always there for all these dogs in need of help as well as there for every person that needs her!!She recently took the time to help a dog in Mexicali with a group of rescuers from Mexico and the US she is always there for everyone and is always finding ways to help!!Thank you Kris for all you do!!You have a very big heart to help all those poor dogs lingering at the shelters and rescued from terrible situations in the LA area!
Kris Kelly has helped many Animals ... I've worked with Kris for many years ... Her Dedication and hard work is endless ... Kris not only works on her Rescues but helps many of us in Rescue ... Her Heart and Soul are beautiful ...
The Kris Kelly Foundation is the BEST!!! They are 100% REAL and truly care for God's precious gifts to this world! Lovvvvve her entire organization! 5 STAR Rating!!!!
I Have helped the Kris Kelly Foundation with transportation, photography and video in order to promote her foundation. She has done so much for the animals and deserves donations to help pay the vet bills. Please help!
Kris Kelly is an amazing woman!!! She has a real true love for these animals. Kris and her team have gone over and above financially, physically and emotionally to rescue these poor animals. It's a ongoing struggle to protect these helpless furry friends. Kris will save them all if she can. Because she actually cares. This is definitely a charity I would recommend donating to.
I've known kris for years but didn't realize the existent her foundation would go through until a friend of mines mom passed away and he had to take in her pets. I notified kris and not only did she find homes for her senior pets but arranged to pick them up and transport them, a true angel.
The Kris Kelly Foundation!!!!!!!
Is a wonderful group of people, especially Kris :)!! We found 3 Chihuahua's this year, the first was a little female, we had been calling Jane Seymour, as she had one blue and one brown eye. With her picture posted, she was reunited with her Family.
As we were knocking on doors looking for Jane's home, we came across two other Chihuahua's. With one having a seizure. went home to get a crate to put them in, and they disappeared. For a couple of weeks we tried to catch them to no avail. Coming home one day from picking my granddaughter up from school, there was traffic back up on Del Amo Blvd and Crenshaw Blvd. Crenshaw is a very, very busy road, speed 45 miles an hour. The traffic back up was due to those two little Chihuahua's. They both had some how safely crossed Crenshaw, a miracle in itself. People had exited their cars and even road workers were helping to catch them. we were able to catch them, as the black one went into a seizure and the other stood by him, and I was able to cover him in a pair of my son's work overalls, and get him and the other into the truck. Brought them home, bathed them right away, as they were very dirty. Then messaged Kris, and she got busy to get them some vet care. They were both neutered, vaccined, micro-chipped and had dental's done. Then with pictures posted of the two of them, lots of net working, phone calls and emails, they have both found wonderful homes, where they are loved and cherished members of a family. This would not have happened without The Kris Kelly Foundation. Please donate , your money, 100%, goes to help the animals, not put on very expensive commercials!!
The Kris Kelly Foundation does great work! I know first hand and I am proud to know them. They adopt at Festivals I produce and save lives everyday.

I became aware of the Kris Kelly Foundation when an abused dog came across my newsfeed for a friend we had in common. I couldn't believe my eyes!! A civilized nation like the US, allows for the abuse and killing of our household pets. I was horrified that I belonged to a society where athletes are overpaid,teachers beg for teaching supplies,plastic surgery and fancy cars have become more popular than the concept of HUMANITY! I found a glimmer in hope in Kris, who is available day and night to protect, advocate and FIGHT for these mistreated animals. I can personally attest to the fact I have witnessed many happy endings for these fur babies. People give her your money so that she can help change the world at a much faster pace.

I adopted my dog through the Kris Kelly foundation. I felt that the adoption went smoothly and I also felt that she did a great job making sure that animals were going to safe and loving homes.
I would give Kris my last cent. God bless her and her gentle heart. THANK YOU for all you do that I can't stomach.

You could say Kris Kelly found me. She had arranged to have a group of Beverly Hills Chihuahua's fly across the country to our small shelter in Maine. Just on a whim I decided to go see what these little critters were all about. Of course when I walk in there is this tiny 6 lb dog barking at all the other bigger dogs but kissing my hand through the cage. I had a 7 lb chipin who I thought needed a playmate her size, We also have a 82 lb German shorthaired pointer and a 90 lb Weimeraner. After a meet and greet "Sonny" came home with us. Long story short, I posted pics of him to our shelter facebook page and Kris friended me when she saw them. I had adopted Richard Burton! Each dog had a movie stars name. She and I have kept in touch on FB and I help her by sharing the rescues. Even though I live in Maine, I have friends in Calif and you never know who might know someone etc etc. Kris is by far one of the few true angels of the animals and she puts her heart and soul into saving as many as she possibly can. Without her I would not have gotten this most loving, sweet little guardian now known as Schmitty. Thank you Kris, we love you
I had becomed involved by helping with Kris Kelley Foundation Facebook page doing graphics. Kris and all her members are great people. Helping find homes for animals. Keep up the great work Kris!!! Tim

Besides being a lovely person. Kris Kelly knows how to she her love on the outside. By raising awareness to adopt animals. And also raising money to help pets who owners leave their pets to not be taken care of anymore. To adopt a pet is the most wonderful thing. Those of you who do not have pets mat not understand, but pets are so much part of the family, They know when your feeling down. And in their own way sure no how to pick up your feelings. So please take time to adopt a pet through The Kris Kelly Foundation or any of your shelters. Kris Kelly Rocks!!! Thank you Kris for all your help!!! ♥
I became involved with The Kris Kelly foundation through a little dog named Lucky. He was due to be euthanized until Kris Kelly stepped in and saved his life. Through mutual volunteers, Kris and I were introduced and she asked if I would help foster this little guy until she found him a good home. Well... let's just say within the first moments of meeting him, I knew he was my Lucky dog! And here we are six years later!
Kris is an amazing woman and her passion for helping animals is unprecedented. I am truly grateful to her for all that she has done not only for Lucky but, for countless others. She is an extremely positive influence in my life and I know, she will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the world of animal rescue for many years to come.
The Kris Kelly Foundation is an amazing resource to the rescue community. This is her passion in life, not a hobby and she loves what she does. The help and resources that she and her network of non-profit's provide is amazing. I am greatful to her not only as a friend, but as a client. She was there for me in my time of need and Gigi is now a proud member of the Kris Kelly Foundation.
