LA Love & Leashes

L.A. Love & Leashes is the first “pet store” that is 100% dedicated to animals at Los Angeles’ six city animal shelters. Dogs and cats are transported daily from the shelter to our store where they are available for adoption. At our high traffic location in the Westside Pavilion, we are able to reach large numbers of people who may not otherwise visit our city shelters. Through interactions with the amazing dogs and cats we’re privileged to have daily at L.A. Love & Leashes, and through conversations with our staff and volunteers, we are able to help overcome many of the stereotypes people have about the animals waiting for homes at our city shelters. Beyond adoptions, the store offers a range of animal-related retail items, including pet supplies and toys, with the dual aim of creating a true alternative, humane “pet store” model and offsetting the costs of the store. Feel good knowing that every dollar you spend helps our efforts to increase city shelter adoptions!
