From Chews Life Dog Rescue

Chews Life dog rescue was founded by a group of dog lovers in Los Angeles, CA. We are dedicated to re-homing and providing love to dogs from local high kill shelters, abandoned strays, and neglected dogs of all breeds. Chews Life dogs are evaluated for temperament and personality. This helps us to place them in homes that are well suited to their needs and to the needs of their future owners. If you are looking for a specific type of dog and do not see it on our website, please email us. We work closely with other rescue groups and animal shelters and may be able to assist you in finding your best friend.

Adopt a pet

When you adopt a homeless dog or cat you’re saving the life of a loving and loyal animal. You’re also making space for other pets to find families of their own.
