About The Rescue Train

IMG_7050.jpg

The Rescue Train is a unique, no-kill, animal-welfare 501(c)(3) organization based in Los Angeles.  The Rescue Train’s deep-rooted goals are to be a voice for animals and to help save as many lives as possible. We fulfill our mission through our key initiatives: rescue and rehome, shelter intervention, dedication to spay and neuter, and collaboration with other like-minded organizations. We aim to drastically reduce the number of animals entering kill shelters and animals living on the streets of Los Angeles.

About Angel City Pit Bulls

369.jpg

Angel City Pit Bulls takes in dogs (mainly from our local shelters) that fall under the generic term pit bull who demonstrate people-soft, responsive qualities and solid temperaments. Their adorableness and gushy love of people make them fantastic family dogs. We have a wide range of energy levels, so whether you are looking for a running partner or a potential “therapy dog”, we will typically have a dog that will fit the bill.  Angel City Pit Bulls is a foster-based only program and run entirely on the support of donations and volunteers.
