Dalmatian Rescue Of West Los Angeles

The Dalmation Rescue of West Los Angeles was so wonderful to work with. When my son found our dog online — Gail was so quick in responding and made sure that we understood the breed and about the dogs that she had available. She also knew which one would fit out family the best. Even though we checked out each dog — turned out that she was right — our Sophia was the best fit for our family. The process was so wonderful and stress free and now we have completed our family with our new dog and she is adapting so well. Thanks Gail and The Dalmation Rescue of West Los Angeles.

I have been a volunteer with this rescue for countless years and the Anonymous review listed on here is from someone who has no idea what she’s talking about. We had not even been there for 3 hours and the dogs had each taken turns coming out. The only times the dogs are crated is for the couple hours in and out on Saturdays. This person who posted this review is from a rescue group who was illegally showing dogs. The dogs were all able to stand up and move around. The crates they were in would be the ones they would fly in. Gail would never cause ill will to any animals. To Anonymous, get your facts right before posting on here. And don’t be a coward behind your screen name.

If you have ever thought about adoption, please see Gail. Gail goes to extraordinary lengths to rescue her dogs, and she has brought so much happiness to her rescued animals and their adopted families.
We just adopted Gracie, our 2^nd Dalmatian, from Gail. Gracie is now 4 months old and is now best buddies with our first adopted, Otis. Otis is a 7 month old Dalmatian/​Standard Poodle. DalmaPoo? Gracie is a Parvo survivor that Gail lovingly nursed back to health, and we are so fortunate that Gail trusted us with her future care.
You will know how much Gail cares about her rescues when you try to adopt one. We are so fortunate that Gail trusted us to care for Otis and Gracie, and make them a part of our family. See if Gail can bring someone special into your family!
Thank You Gail!

I am coming to write this review nearly 5 years after I adopted my precious Tessa from Gail, and have only come across this page because I’ve just started to think about adopting my next pet from her. Gail is truly a gem. I can never thank her enough for helping me find Tessa. Tess was an older dog when we adopted her and we had three years as best buddies, inseperable pals and adverture partners. A year later and I’m not quite ready for another dog yet, but I can’t tell you enough what an incredible service Gail performs for not just these beautiful dogs that need a loving home, but also for us people, who have a better and richer life because these companions are in it. If you are considering a Dalmatian PLEASE do not go to a breeder. Speak to Gail first, there are so many incredible dogs that need loving homes and Gail really does have the uncanny knack of matching you with the perfect pup. Once it’s time for us to have some more spotty fun in our lives we will be headed straight back to Gail.

Let me just simply say thank you very much. Our dalmatian who has been apart of our family for 9 years ended up in her rescue. Let me say she is very tough and has an absolute love for the Dalmatian Breed. We could write a book on the story, but she helped us get back our dog. I will admit, she didnt make it easy as to she is very particular on the families and the well being of the breed. We fought hard and had a happy ending as to Belvedere our dalmatian is very well loved. She does find the perfect home for the most perfect wonderful breed of dogs. Thanks again!

Gail, and her Foster partner Suz are terrific! I got my Lexi at 7 months from them, back in September 2009. I’ve reached out to them over the years for questions and they’ve always been terrific.
This is my favorite rescue experience so far, after owning 4 dalmatians, and adopting 3 of them from rescue organizations in California.
Thank you both so VERY much!
Deirdre, Lexi and Bellla (Basset, honorary dalmatian!)

I also have failed to do the right thing and give Gail the props she deserves. My bad Gail. We recently had to put our Dalmatian, Chloe, down after she had a stroke last year and barely could walk. Gail was the one that showed us our pup 9 years ago. Gail is sweet and professional, and she obviously is committed to finding the best home, not just any home, for the pups in her care. I felt like it could have gone quicker, but Gail was annoyingly thorough in the vetting process. She even made it a point to ask me what I intended to name our new adopted friend. I know that if I told her Chloe’s name was going to be Domino, or Perdita, she wouldn’t have let me take her, no matter how much money. We recently commiserated about Chloe’s passing together, and I honestly feel like it mattered to Gail almost as much as it mattered to me and my wife. To see the sweet pup I got from Gail check out this link. Gail is a committed person to placing Dalmatian’s in good homes after the romance of Disney wears off.

Let me start by saying that Gail is wonderful woman. I should have reviewed this place ages ago, but it slipped my mind. I adopted a kitten from this place and she was a really sick little girl. Gail helped me through administering medicine and force feeding her. Today she’s a healthy girl! No idea what I would have done without Gail and all her help. If you care about having support for the pets you adopt, this is your place. Gail legitimately cares about the well being of her animals. She makes sure they end up in good homes and are well taken care of. I’m considering adopting another pet and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Excellent Rescue. Gail is very committed to making a difference. She is honest, ethical and really knows her dogs. We have adopted 4 dogs from her over the last 11 years (Ben, Hula, Charm and Bellie). All were/​are wonderful animals and a good fit in our home. She is the best!

If you like Dalmatians (who doesn’t) and you are looking to adopt one from a rescue, than this is the person to see! I even drove up to West Los Angeles from Chula Vista to pick up my new doggie! Gail is the rescue/​adoption coordinator of the program and she is great! She really cares about the breed but she cares about putting Dalmatians in the right home. She has also been amazing about the follow-​up process. I have had a lot of questions about my adopted Dal and she put me through to someone who could give me all of the help in the world (thanks Mike!). This is the Nordstrom’s of Dalmatian adoption! See the pic of my new baby, Teddy! You can also find her on
