AngelDogs Foundation

****This review is not based on the veterinarian services. My review is based on the Angeldog Foundations Deaf Dog Rescue Ranch. Anyone who dedicates this much time and effort into helping animals deserves 5 stars in my opinion. I had the opportunity to tour the Deaf Dog Rescue Ranch. It was amazing to see how much these people care for and take care of dogs in need.
AngelDogs Foundation Deaf Dog Ranch is the first all-​breed deaf dog ranch in the country. The dogs are cared for in a climate-​controlled indoor/​outdoor kennel in Acton, California, where they receive top-​quality food, training, and loving care until they find forever homes. Check out the ranch and see how wonderful deaf dogs are — highly bonded, smart, affectionate and eager to please. Adopt a deafie today!
Please consider the Deaf Dog rescue if you are looking to adopt or feel free to donate it goes to a very good cause.

I can not recommend them enough. Our MinChi was fixed and chipped and we would likely not have rescued the puppy if they were not so reasonable on the price.
The microchip migrated into our dogs shoulder capsule and was hurting him and damaging his joint. They did a follow up surgery and removed the chip. Total success, no visible scar despite the big incision. They did a flawless job. Hes as good as new.
We have donated some money to help them help others. I hope others would consider doing the same.

I needed a low cost clinic to bring my 1 yr old cat too, to be spayed. Angel Dogs came up as best rated and was the cheapest place I could find. So, after working up the courage. I made an appointment and brought my baby (the cat) to her appointment. I got there on time, stood in line for 20 minutes and someone finally told me I had to walk up an get paper work to fill out then get back in line to drop off my cat. I was freaking out, I love my cat so the thought of surgery already freaked me out. They said she’d be fine and they’d call an hour before she was ready to be picked up. I picked her up later that day and they gave me after care instructions and I followed them exactly as I was told. When it came time for her to eat and drink a little she was not interested AT ALL! (Very strange, she eats like a pig!) so, I called the hotline provided and they said that can be a normal thing. They next day she stil would not touch food or water and later that day she started vomiting foam or dry heaving. I called them again and try said to try to feed her some baby food or chicken or chicken broth. Tried it all an she wouldn’t touch it and gagged at the smell! I immediately called a vet in town and they made an appointment for her in the morning. I brought her in for an exam and they tried some nausea medication and antibiotics, they said if she had no progress by morning to bring her back in for blood work and X-​rays. The next morning I had to bring her back in because she was worse then before. We ran tests and X-​rays showed and infection inside of her and said its due to her surgery that they either had unclean tools or a sick animal contaminated the air to cause the infection. So every day, I gave my cat her medicine and had to administer a fluid I.V. drip every few hours. This put extreme amounts of stress on her and made her less social for months. After this experience of spending $ 700 in vet bills that I did not have and had to borrow, I would NEVER wish this experience on any pet owner. I almost lost my cat. And angel dogs did not care at all!

Angel Dogs is a great place to have your dogs vaccinated, neutered, spayed, or micro-​chipped. Their prices are really reasonable and they do seem to care about the animals that they care for. Ask about special programs available that might save you even more money. I would definitely recommend using their services for routine animal care.

Angel Dogs is a great foundation. The staff cares so much! They do great work. As far as the prices, it includes everything. I think a lot of vet clinics get people with an advertised «deal» but it does not include pain management, shots, or anything. You can tell the people who run it are really pet people. The review about the dog «screaming» I doubt it was what the reviewer is insinuating. I for one have a very demanding puppy, who literally SCREAMS like he is being tortured at the top of his lungs if he is in a crate and sees a human. Or pretty much every time he doesn’t get his way. All dogs react differently to different situations. I would trust Angel Dogs with my dogs any day, and believe me they are my life!

The staff here is friendly and fun to talk to and they do great work. He microchipped my three dogs in less than five minutes and the entire process was under 30 minutes of waiting time. Not bad for a mobile clinic! It was $ 10 for a microchip and ~$ 140 for the spay service. We opted to not have our puppy spayed here because we found a cheaper price from another reputable vet; however, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again — they were great.

My husband and I found a mama dog and her puppy on New Year’s Day. The mama dog was matted and filthy so we took them home for a bath and clipping. The mama dog, whom we named «Hazel» because of her gorgeous hazel eyes, was evidently born with one ear, has a tremendous overbite and she was in heat. She also appeared to have had many litters as her teats were practically dragging on the ground (no milk — I checked). The next day we took them to our local vet and had her scanned for a microchip which was absent. We posted about 30 signs around town including an ad in the Lost & Found on Craigslist and still have not had anyone come forward for them. As I have managed a vet hospital and served as a vet tech for many years, I decided to get her vaccinated, chipped and fixed. There are many decent organizations out there that serve low income families with pets but none that would offer a discount to a good samaritan wanting to do the right thing and prevent pet overpopulation. That’s where Angel Dog Foundation comes in. Brandie set up a time next week when Hazel will get spayed, vaccinated and chipped for $ 125. I realize in this economy that many people are hurting financially and can’t care for their pets adequately but it is absolutely wonderful that places like Angel Dogs exist to help out. Definitely gonna include them in our charitable giving in the future. Update as of 2÷2÷13 — the owners finally came forward and reclaimed Hazel (Coco). We adopted out the puppy to a family in Santa Paula and he was neutered/​chipped/​rabies with Angel Dogs. Happy ending all around!

Mark at Angle Dog has a big heart he is always helpful and willing to help you with you pet. He also trains deaf dogs. Spay and neutering is really important to keep the shelters from being full all the time. Call them if you want your animal taken care of.
The also honor the 25score card.

After reading the very negative review someone left here, I had to add my say. I found out about Angel Dogs a few years ago, when looking for a low-​cost way for my Mom to get a bunch of cats spayed and neutered. She had several cats done, and was very happy with them.
When my boyfriend and I got a new puppy, we called Angel Dogs to ask about cost for getting her spayed. We were told about a special program for people living in an unincorporated area, as well as a discount for people receiving government assistance. I qualified for both programs, and the cost was about $ 50 to have her spayed. I then contacted a few other organizations (SPAN & Actors & Others) and was able to receive vouchers to make my cost for the spay free. She had a rear dewclaw I wanted removed, so I only paid for that ($ 50 total). The next cheapest place I could find to have her spayed and the dewclaw removed was almost $ 400.
When I arrived at the location, it took a few minutes to figure out how it was done, but it wasn’t difficult or confusing. I filled out the paperwork, and when they were ready for her, I handed her over to them. They were very nice and capable. I then left, and a few hours later got the call that she was ready. Our pup also got her rabies shot while she was there.
Because Angel Dogs needs to have a quick turnover, the pets are handed back out to their owners before they have completely recovered from the anesthesia. They are disorientation, but otherwise fine. She received pain killers to be taken during her recovery, but she didn’t need them.
Her recovery was the same as any other dog getting spayed and going to a brick and mortar clinic. She healed up beautifully, and we could not have been happier with the level of service from Angel Dogs and the caring shown by those who communicated with me during the appointment making process and answered my questions.
I have recommended Angel Dogs to friends, neighbors, and family many, many times, and have given their contact info to dozens of people. As far as I’m concerned, they are rock stars.
Please do not let the one negative review here cloud your image of Angel Dogs. They are doing a great service to the Southern California area.

I work a local non-​profit dog rescue, so we have need for spay/​neuter services pretty frequently. We have been using AngelDogs for over a year now, and they are wonderful!
They always do a great job on spay/​neuter surgeries, and give very clear instructions both before and after. They also give the dogs pain medication and will send the dog home with a cone, which is very convenient.
We’ve also used them for vaccinations and microchipping, and every time it has been very quick and easy.

They were amazing, caring individuals who took great care of our 2 rescue dogs. Low cost vaccines, free micro chipping, 24 hour vet for any questions or concerns, thorough aftercare instructions, individual attention, and you can’t beat the cost. One of the vet techs fell so in love with the male chi we brought she wanted to adopt him if we weren’t going to take him. Now that is love and dedication!

I got my Boston Terrier Maugwi neutered here. I would recommend and have recommended this place to multiple people and they all would agree with me 100% about angeldogs foundation. The staff is very knowledgeable and trained. They really care about maintenance low cost options for pet owners. Maugwi was taking care of by staff that really cares about animals and knows what they are doing. Maugwi was back to his normal self later that night after the pain meds wore off. He didn’t seem to be in any pain although they did send us home with a prescription for him. His small incision healed nicely. They even send u home with a number for their 24 hour on call vet in case u have any other questions or concerns. I felt very comfortable sending My pet with them. They educated us on the whole process so u know what to expect. Not only do they neuter/​spay your animal for low cost they also provide u with a free microchip, and do low cost vaccines. Maugwi was already up to date with that so we only go the neuter and microchip. When we get another dog we will defiantly be going to angeldogs foundation for neutering/​spaying and a microchip. Thank-​you for all the services you guys provide. You are amazing!

I work with a rescue group who uses primarily Angel Dogs for our low cost spay/​neuter needs. The sutures are always amazing, dissolvable, and the pets are given pain meds as needed. Angel Dogs is always willing to work with us on scheduling and squeeze us in even though we are a rescue and they have many other clients to tend to. We always recommend Angel Dogs to anyone looking for not only a low cost spay and neuter clinic, but also as a clinic that performs surgeries in a clean and efficient environment. We’ve never had post-​surgical issues with any of our rescues, but if we did, we know Angel Dogs is there for us to call and is happy to help us out. They’ve saved us time, money, and our dogs from having to go through horrible shelter spays/​neuters. We are very happy with Angel Dogs and are so grateful they are there to help out rescue dogs and rescues.

I was looking for a low cost spay for our kitten and was referred by Castaic Animal Control.
I was kind of of nervous since they do the spays in parking lot of The Backwood Inn.
The woman on the phone was super nice and helpful and assured me all would be fine. I took our kitten in first thing in the morning and the people working to help sign us were so bright and cheery. They called us when our kitten was ready for pickup and gave us very specific instructions for follow plus a number to call for any concerns. When we picked up our kitten she was very sleepy and walking sideways, lol. That being said she slept a lot of the evening and by the next morning she was her bouncy self, yay. That was about 4 months ago and we have not had any complications or infections post surgery.
I would highly recommend AngelDogs and as a matter of fact I have a call in to get our Golden Retriever Spayed with them asap.

Where to start with this place, I was recomended by the place I bought my kitten from so i gave them a call knowing they where «low cost» to get prices and such. It was 100 and something to get him fixed and his last set of shots which in my eyes was not so cheep considering there are places doing it for 20 – 30 dollars but they did inform i could call pet assistance and actors and others for vouchers to get money off. I got the vouchers which made it $ 40 in the end, i called and booked an appointment. I was expecting to have to sign in, get called up, get a little overview and hand over my kitten… WRONG! We stood in line till i noticed everyone filling out paper work, i walked up to the table and got handed paperwork, filled it out and eventually got up to the front where they asked ourr name and told us the total took my kitty and gave a group talk and ended it with «we will call you an hour before they are done». Heres where is gets bad… we got the call, went to pick him up, and was standing outside their truck with eveyone else waiting for their pets when a dog started screaming at the top of its lugs, it seriously sounded like it was just hit by a truck and dragged for hours… horrible (i personally had to plug my ears). It went on for maybe 5 mins give or take and then brought the dog out, on the guys way down the stairs he hit the dogs face on the door of their truck. Everyone else got their pets and they then gave us another group talk about how to care for them. The dogs had gotten cones but the cats didnt and the dogs also got pain meds which cats do not get, im not sure why thats the case. They also instructed us to just keep out cats in the kennel over night making it sound like they would still be «druged» up and pretty much sleep the whole time. They where also very wrong about that, my kitten was going nuts to the point where he was trying to bite his way out and ended up breaking one of his teeth… and my cat is not the type to do that, he is use to being in the car and being contained… we even walk him like a dog on a leash. Hes is a VERY good cat, so i was shocked he was acting this way and it made me think… did they not give him enough pain medication? Did they scare him or something like that? I dont know but as soon as i let him out he was okay, which is weird behavior for him. Overall i WOULD NOT recomend this place to anyone, besides how rough or whatever youd like to call it with the animals, they did not seen to care at all to make you feel at peace with leaving your animals with them, It really came off like an assembly line… they wanted us to just hurry up and get it over with. I couldnt even start to think if that dog that was screaming was mine i would have raised hell. This place came up first for every low cost or fixing place i searched on google and im not sure why, im 95% positive NO ONE from the group i was in will recomend them either.
