Our unique model focuses on comprehensive guidance, from weekly check-ins to leash-walking classes. This structured approach ensures long-term compatibility, fostering confident dogs and empowered human companions across Los Angeles.
Dog Coalition Los Angeles was founded to address the critical overcrowding in city shelters. We believe in a foster-first transition, equipping families with the tools and support needed to prepare dogs for successful adoption.
Every action at DCLA is rooted in values that empower both dogs and their human companions. We build a supportive community focused on lasting impact.
Treating every dog and person with care and respect, fostering a humane environment for all.
Building a strong network of fosters, volunteers, and partners dedicated to canine well-being.
Creating thoughtful matches between dogs and families for successful, lifelong adoptions.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, DCLA relies on community support to provide foster care, training, and thoughtful placement for LA's shelter dogs.
