Some Of Our Success Stories

    Kira, a stunning and lovable dog, was likely abandoned when her family fled Venezuela. After being rescued and brought to LA, she quickly found another loving family to call home through Vanderpump Dogs.

  • Cara

    Cara (short for Caracas) was rescued from the streets of Venezuela, arriving in Miami malnourished and infested with fleas and parasites. Now healthy and thriving, she lives happily in her forever home in Miami Beach with our founder Eric and her dog brother Phenom!
