North Central Animal Shelter 3201 Lacy Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031

"My husband and I adopted our sweet boy Iago from NCAS a year and a half ago. We couldn’t wait to take him home with us. Iago was still in tact when he was surrendered to the shelter but the staff took excellent care of him, the adoption paperwork went smooth, and they even gave us a donated carrier to take him home in. We love Iago and couldn’t imagine our lives without him!"

"I adopted a sweet and adventurous surrendered cat (whom I've named Zuko, pictured below) from their shelter. Although, I can't take him home (until after his neuter surgery, which very much makes sense), they've let me come and visit him every day. The staff are so kind, patient, and caring and they let adopters pick through the donations. I can't recommend this shelter enough; volunteers are so incredibly passionate about the care of the animals they're helping but also of the adopters. This is also the nicest facility I've ever been to. I definitely will adopt from here again!"

"I used this animal shelter's boarding services for my dog while I was out of town, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The staff members were attentive and caring, ensuring that my dog felt comfortable and secure during his stay. The quality of the facilities was excellent, with ample space for exercise and socialization. Considering the peace of mind I had knowing that my dog was in good hands, the value of the boarding service was truly unmatched. I highly recommend this shelter to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate boarding services for their furry companions."

"Overall it was an interesting experience, the staff that I interacted were decent enough, the place itself was very modern, and clean. I recently adopted a dog, I was under the impression that since I was told the dog was up for adoption on a certain day to be there by a certain time and that'd be it, but no, I was later informed that since it wasn't spayed I'd have to wait an additional week, further more, I'd have to pick up at a local Vet Hospital. I was only allowed to spend 5 minutes with her before she was taken back. Sigh. It was both uncomfortable and an emotional moment. Anyway, on a positive note I was able to finally get her home, she's healing well from surgery, she's adjusting very well!"
