We are a grassroots 501c3 Los Angeles rescue focused on reducing pet overpopulation through rescue, adoption, transport and spay/neuter programs.

Hands Paws & Hearts is a 501c3 non profit animal rescue located in Los Angeles County.We rescue at-risk dogs of all breeds and ages, primarily from high kill shelters in Lancaster/Palmdale and surrounding areas. We strive to provide our dogs with top notch medical and emotional care
through trusted vets and fosters until they can be adopted into stable, loving homes.

At Hands Paws & Hearts we recognize that rescue and adoption are important, but simply the first steps towards achieving the goal of ending pet overpopulation. With more than 30,000 stray cats and dogs living on the streets of Los Angeles and over 45,000 pets euthanized in LA city and County shelters each year, We focus much of our efforts on spay/neuter and transport programs that will lead us towards the day when no dog/cat is left behind.
