About Ken-Mar Rescue
of Los Angeles and surrounding communities...

Many owners mistakenly take their pets to shelters because they believe that good homes will be found for all of them. Occasionally that’s true, but too often owner-surrendered pets are kept only two to four days due to lack of shelter space. Strays usually are kept for three to five days before they are euthanized.

When we rescue a dog, each receives a personality and behavioral evaluation and the care, training and TLC it needs and deserves. We work hard to find the proper homes for all of our pets, and stand behind them and their new owners for the rest of the pet’s life.

Many of Ken-Mar Rescue’s dogs need-and receive-veterinary care.

From nail trims to extensive surgery, Ken-Mar Rescue provides all needed care to all of our dogs. Not surprisingly, our monthly veterinary bills are overwhelming. Your tax deductible donations are desperately needed to help us save and care for as many dogs as possible. Our ultimate goal is to become obsolete, but until that utopian day arrives when animal shelters can be safe places of refuge, we will strive to give a future to as many needy pets as possible.

HOW TO ADOPT (2 Step Process)

Step 1:  Please complete the Adoption Questionnaire or email us at 

Step 2: Upon review we will let you know if a "meet and greet" is in order.  If so, we will schedule a time to bring the orphan to your home to meet you and the rest of your family (fur-kids included).  If all goes well at the end of the "meet and greet" (approximately 1 hour), then the adoption is finalized.
