About Us

While serving with the City of Los Angeles Animal Control, the Founder of our rescue witnessed countless animals abandoned by their owners. The amount of dogs surrendered became too much to be ignored. A look into the reasons showed that many of these dogs were surrendered simply because they were not potty trained or lacked basic obedience. This revelation is what led to the creation of Pawsitive Outcomes LA rescue, where both the need for re-homing and providing essential medical care would be addressed, and new owners would be given a strong foundation to pet parenting by adopting dogs that have begun basic skills and obedience training.

The Pawsitive Outcomes  team believes that if new owners have access to pet parent resources, and a headstart in teaching their dog to be a part of the family, then dogs are more likely to be matched with their forever homes. All of our dogs are given medical care, and basic obedience training before joining their new families. Additionally,  all of our new families are vetted to ensure that they are committed and will continue the work needed to raise a healthy and happy dog.

Values

Pawsitive Rescue operates on 3 pillars: Patience, Consistency, and Love. 

Patience: Like humans, every dog is its own unique being. The re-home adjustment period will vary from dog to dog. Additionally, every breed requires different types and amounts of exercise that address their natural instincts. New pet parents must be patient as they welcome their dog to their new homes and learn what they need.

Consistency: When working with their new dogs, new parents should be mindful of the age of their pet. Older animals may be less interested in learning new things, while puppies may be high energy and lack focus. No matter the age or personality, consistency is key and your dog can learn if you teach them.

Love: While most may assume that everyone knows what love looks like, we like to share with all pet parents that love for your dog should include: clear communication, healthy boundaries, and appropriate affection. Remember, If you allow your dog to be the leader, they will. We at Pawsitive Outcomes will love your dog until you adopt them, and then you can take over all the love from there!
