Santé D’Or Foundation is a community-focused, no-kill animal adoption center dedicated to giving rescue animals a second chance to thrive. We are proud to serve the Los Angeles area by providing a safe, nurturing environment for animals in need.
Located in the heart of the Atwater Village neighborhood, our rescue was founded by Kelly Milam and Sandra Kimberling to address the animal welfare crisis in our city. We provide a bridge for animals from our streets or those surrendered by residents facing hardship, ensuring they receive the medical care and love they deserve before finding their forever homes.
We believe in a holistic approach to animal welfare, prioritizing healthy diets, eco-friendly products, and a stress-free environment. Unlike many traditional shelters, our rescued residents are free to roam and play throughout the day under the watchful care of our dedicated volunteers, allowing them to remain calm, healthy, and happy while they wait for their families.
Adopting a pet is a serious, lifelong commitment, and we are here to ensure that journey is a success. We take a careful, personalized approach to matchmaking, ensuring every pet finds the home that is the right fit for both the animal and your family. Our expert team is here to guide you through this process, from your first visit to making it official.
We invite you to come experience our center firsthand! You are welcome to visit our facility in Los Angeles Friday through Sunday to meet our residents and learn more about our mission. If you are ready to start your adoption journey, please begin by completing our adoption application online.
