Volunteering for Unconditional is the most rewarding experience! The people at Unconditional make every effort to help volunteers feel happy, prepared, appreciated and listened to! Volunteering to help these special dogs is all the reward you need but it sure helps that the organization makes your experience the best it can be.

Unconditional is one of the few rescue organizations taking on the extremely important task of finding the best homes for the dogs that many people look past. Seniors and special need dogs deserve love, care and comfort and Unconditional makes it happen!!! All of the people at Unconditional have hearts of gold!!!

I’ve been volunteering and working in the rescue industry for over 10 years and I am so impressed by Unconditional! They are creating an amazing community of dog lovers and are completely changing the game for how rescues help dogs. I’ve been to most of their events and you can tell that they love what they do and the dogs are so well taken care of. I love the way they market their dogs too, so you never feel sad for them. I’m so glad I found them!

I think it’s incredible what they are doing for senior dogs and dogs that are specially-abled. Unconditional goes above and beyond to support dogs that are often overlooked. These types of dogs are often overlooked in already overcrowded shelters, so their services are more than necessary in these times. By sponsoring medical and foster care for dogs in their care, they are providing much needed services. For example, the dogs in their foster program are treated like my own dogs, they get the best medical care and eat the best food. Additionally, they use an out of the box marketing approach to find perfect homes for their dogs too. I can’t wait to watch them grow!

After partnering with animal welfare groups for the last 20 years, Julian and I decided to launch Unconditional. We saw so much good work being done yet even with that, senior and special needs dogs were being left behind in shelters. We know from our own experience what great family members these dogs can be, and so we founded Unconditional to solve this problem.

There are only a few rescues across the US that are dedicated to senior & special dogs, and most are under-resourced. Our model focuses on the "power of being seen" and so we are building a beautiful rescue in Laguna Beach -- Unconditional will intentionally look much more like a home than a rescue, encouraging people to visit and get to know what life with a senior or special dog could be like. Through that exposure, we believe people will fall in love with these dogs and adopt. We are thrilled to bring this vision to life. It's a bold vision, but we have an extraordinary team and are excited to make it happen, and change the lives of this deserving group of dogs.

If you have the opportunity to adopt a senior or special dog, I hope you will take it. I can guarantee it will be rewarding beyond your dreams!

Amy and Julian have a very long history of helping dogs and I am excited for their latest venture, Unconditional. I have no doubt they will help countless animals and be a great example for other recues around the country. Five stars from me as they get this amazing project off the ground.

“Concern for animals is a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong. Something the best people have always done.”(Harriet Beecher Stowe)
Unconditional is exactly that! The “Best people” giving back to desperate dogs who have so much unconditional love still to give!
I am excited to be a supporter of such a rewarding cause. Parsons600

Wow - what an incredible nonprofit. I have had the pleasure of getting to know & work with Amy & Julian Mack as well as Peter Chang. Such an incredible group of dedicated people who are committed in raising awareness and funds for dogs who have no voice. Senior and disabled dogs are typically the last to be adopted and the first to be euthanized at rescues. This is a sad outcome for these beautiful dogs. Unconditional fills this need by working to place these dogs into loving and permanent homes. This is a wonderful charity to support.

Amy and Julian Mack with the help of Peter Chang are on a mission to improve the lives of senior and special needs dogs in Southern California.

To my knowledge, there are only a handful of organizations in the US that focus on helping senior and special needs dogs. Once the doors open, I’m optimistic that Unconditional will be able to fulfill their mission, not only in helping disadvantaged dogs find forever homes, but demonstrating that this model is replicable in every state.

Unconditional is such a lovingly wonderful organization. Dogs bring such love and joy to our lives and senior and special needs dogs are no different. It has been a privilege to donate my time to help get the word out about unconditional and their love and compassion for these pets and their dedication to find them loving homes. I look forward to any opportunity to help unconditional with their mission.

The founders of Unconditional are opening this very special kind of dog rescue center, catering to special needs & senior dogs. I have long admired the founders’ for their commitment to their own special needs brood. Their rescued dog kids are living happy, healthy lives due to their vision. Most folks probably wouldn’t have recognized just how possible it is for these guys to thrive with proper TLC and right apparatI to give them mobility. I’ve had pleasure and education of watching these guys rolling down the beach with “big wheels”. They are back in dog life with every other able-bodied 4-legger on beach. This vision has launched Unconditional, so it is now possible for those overlooked dogs to have the same shot at the good dog life!

This is a wonderful non profit dedicated to finding homes for so many that would not get a chance. Their focus on senior and ones that are handicapped is such a needed service. The couple that started this have 4 of those types of dogs who bring them such joy. They want to bring that to others. Their new facility will provide such a great space to see an animal like it was in your home. I love supporting non profits that are run by and hire great people and make it all about the animals for which it should be. The only type of non profits I will support. Be apart of this wonderful organization as a supporter or volunteer and see the lives they will change
