We wanted to adopt instead of buy, so we donated first to Recycled Love Dog Rescue to support their work. When we visited, we met Piper, a tiny baby girl who melted in my partner's arms. The adoption fee was explained clearly, and everything felt professional yet personal. Piper now sleeps under our covers every night, and we’re so grateful we chose this rescue

I found Recycled Love Dog Rescue through a friend who adopted from them. I donated online and later got the upportunity to get for  my Grandson a Buddy. Paying the adoption fee felt like nothing compared to the joy he’s brought him. I can’t thank this rescue enough

I’m a veteran, and adopting a dog was something I’d wanted to do for years. After donating to Recycled Love, I visited and met Scout, a loyal puppy who hasn’t left my side since. The adoption fee process was clear, and the team was supportive. Scout has been the best therapy I could have asked for

I donated to Recycled Love Dog Rescue after reading about their work in California, and I’m so glad I did. When I finally visited, I met Maple, a shy baby who slowly came out of her shell just to sit next to me. Paying the adoption fee was simple, and now Maple has blossomed into the happiest dog. She’s made my apartment and my kids feel like a home

Irvine, CA

After donating online, I drove out to meet the dogs at Recycled Love Dog Rescue. The staff was so kind and patient, and when I met Willow — a calm hun with stunning blue eyes — I knew I had to bring her home. The adoption fee was fair, and the whole process made me feel like I was part of something bigger. Willow has given me so much love, and I’ll forever be thankful to this rescue

As a couple, we’d been talking about adopting for years. After donating to Recycled Love, we set up a meeting with them and met Milo, the sweetest pit mix. The volunteers made sure we were prepared and answered all of our questions. Paying the adoption fee was simple, and we left that day with Milo in our arms. He’s now the heart of our home

I first came across Recycled Love Dog Rescue online when I was searching for rescues in California. I donated to their program before even stepping foot there because their mission really touched me. When I finally visited, I met Bella, a sweet golden mix who immediately leaned on me like she already knew she was home. The adoption fee was straightforward, and I could tell every penny went right back to supporting the dogs. I’ve never felt so supported in becoming a dog mom

Olivia Chen

Oakland, CA

My husband and I started by making a donation online because we loved what Recycled Love was doing in our community. When we visited, we fell for Max, a goofy Labrador who practically tackled us with kisses. The adoption fee process was very straightforward, and now Max is the center of our family activities. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience

Laura & Miguel Alvarez

Fresno, CA

I donated to Recycled Love during one of their fundraisers and later scheduled a visit. I wasn’t sure if I’d find ‘my’ dog, but when I saw Rosie wagging at me from her kennel, I knew it was fate. The adoption fee was reasonable, and I appreciated that they explained exactly what it covered. Rosie is now my running buddy, and I can’t imagine life without her

Jessica Moreno

Anaheim, CA

I was looking for a companion after moving to California on my own. I donated to Recycled Love because their mission touched me, then went to meet the dogs. That’s when I found Ginger, a spunky little pug who had everyone laughing. The adoption fee was explained in detail, and I appreciated their transparency. Ginger is now the joy of my mornings — I don’t feel alone anymore.

Sophia Bennett

Los Angeles, CA

We donated to Recycled Love after reading about their work and then went in to meet the dogs. We instantly connected with Olive, a hound mix who wouldn’t stop following us around. The adoption fee was well worth it — Olive is part of our family now. The rescue made everything seamless, and we can tell they care deeply about both the dogs and the people adopting them
