Poppy's Story

Poppy is a 1–2 year old sweetheart currently in Los Angeles, looking for a foster or forever home in the area. She's the kind of gentle, happy girl who just lights up a room with her calm energy and wagging tail. We pulled her from a Kern County shelter literally one hour before her scheduled euthanasia, and she's been proving every day since what a fighter and lover she is. She bounced back beautifully from pneumonia right after rescue and is feeling great now. She's lined up for double leg surgery soon (fully covered by the rescue and amazing community donations), and in the meantime she's still getting around on short walks like a champ. Watching her resilience has been incredible—she's got so much joy to share. Poppy is friendly with everyone: dogs, people, and likely cats too, thanks to her easygoing vibe. She's low-maintenance, affectionate in a quiet way, and perfectly content just hanging near her people. She'd be a wonderful fit for a kind-hearted family or short-term foster (we provide all supplies!) where she can keep healing surrounded by comfort. Poppy's already overcome so much and greets life with such brightness—helping her become the healthy, happy pup she was always meant to be would be so rewarding. Local LA folks, she's waiting for you!

Compassion Kind's Adoption Policy

Compassion Kind is a 501c3 global humanitarian and animal welfare organization inspiring global citizens to extend their circle of compassion to all kind. We work with partners and volunteers on the ground in Puerto Rico to educate and reduce the suffering of animals due to natural disasters and the ongoing stray problem. A majority of our cats and dogs are from Puerto Rico, but we do take in occasional local owner surrenders as well. Once our animals are taken into our care, we assess their needs and how we can provide the best care and forever home for them. We begin their vetting process while in Puerto Rico and finish after they are flown and placed in foster care in Florida. All animals' vetting is completed by the time of adoption. During our foster process, we continue to analyze their behaviors and needs to help us find the best fit for them. Once we begin taking applications for each animal, we begin our screening process to see how each candidate may fit the specific animals needs. We then choose 2-3 potential candidates, as we don't want to overwhelm the cat or dog, for a meet and greet. Our meet and greets help the potential adopter and pet see if they are a great match! If the meet and greet goes very well, the potential candidate may move into our one week home trial. During the home trial, we do a home visit and check in to make sure that the dog or cat is adjusting well. At the end of the trial, if it is the perfect match, we move into adoption in which their individual adoption fee is paid and we transfer all records and paperwork to the adopter. Our animals are so important to us; we work hard to save them and we owe it to them to find the best life for them. We love to keep in touch with all of our adopters so we can continue to watch our cats and dogs flourish!

Our Mission

is to cultivate compassionate change and minimize suffering for all kind through advocacy, education, disaster relief and community projects.
