Golden State Humane Society Animal Care Center

These guys are helping getting the feral kitties fixed and healthy! I have brought in 4 ferals here and they were professional and caring for these poor kitties. I feed still feed 2 in my area and got the other 2 homes and they are just fine. Inexpensive and willing to help when they can.

I can’t comment on the doctor because I did not get to see them, but the front counter girl that «helped» me acted like she did not want to be there. She did not listen to anything I said, so I had to repeat myself three to four times, even the part of the paperwork that asked what kind of animal I have, I have a small dog that was sitting on the counter staring her in the face. When I told her I got my puppy from the L.A. Shelter she made a disgusted face and repeated the words like I told her my dog was made out of poop and bugs.

I’ve been bringing my dog since my oldest one who midnight was a year and had him fixed and I have my two females twilight MorningStar when they were four months old I had them spayed and I’ve been coming to them ever cents very good to my babies

I recently found out that my cat was not neutered. We bought him from someone we did not know and she claimed he was neutered and had all his shots. The only thing he had was a microchip which made his recent behavior make sense/​. He was running all over the house, he made one successful escape and once I found out, I bolted to the nearest vet to confirm that he was intact and get an estimate.
The estimate at this vet totaled $ 565.00 for a neuter which is absolutely out of my price range. I looked online and found this place and after listening to the costs via their automated phone system, knew this was a better financial option.
I called to make an appointment and the woman who picked up was super friendly and scheduled to make an appointment for Monday at 8. After reading reviews, I showed up 30 minutes early and got a good customer spot in the back. The doors opened right at 8, and the whole process of paper work and small check up took 30 minutes. I dropped him off (which was the saddest thing in the world) and picked him up the next day.
Overall, this place was amazing. Efficient, fast, cheap. Exactly what I wanted and the staff seemed like they really care about the animals. This saved me hundreds of dollars and saved me the worry of having my cat go crazy in the summer. The staff also played movies in the waiting room which I felt was nice for patients, especially since some waited longer than I did, the Monday was Star Wars, Tuesday was Princess and the Frog.
I would recommend this if you’re going for a neuter, 100%.

Awesome place! I got my 2 year old Maltese spayed there while she was in heat. I greatly regretted not getting her spayed earlier but they did a splendid job. I was a little skeptical at first because of their low cost and shady building but the staffs are very efficient and kind. Not much of a wait when I went there.
The total cost for spaying and getting the pain killer came out to be around 125 dollars. I think they charge you extra when your dog is in heat. I would come back here anytime!

Low cost vet services but you get what you pay for, workers are not very helpful, & don’t really appreciate many questions even though you want to make sure your dog is taken care of. Also when my puppy got surgery they kept mentioning he was so aggressive, keep in mind my dog is literally 9 pounds and fairly scared of most everything. Pissed me off when I picked him up from surgery and he did not have stitches due to the fact they said the dr was so aggressive that the glue was an easier route for the dr. Basically saying I didn’t really have an option because he was «so aggressive». Like I said you get what you pay for. My dog is fine either way regardless of their bad attitudes.

I have heard mixed results about this place, yet I needed to try them out. Here is my experience for vaccinations only from today:
CUSTOMER SERVICE
I interacted with 3 staff members. There was a young lady at the window. I had several questions to ask her. She was super busy. She still answered me politely and completely. The second lady was a tall woman. She seemed to direct people to windows to make things move faster. She was really fun, upbeat, and entertaining. The last lady was the one who gave the vaccines to our dog. She was very polite and easy going. She listened to my questions and was really nice to my daughter. Overall, the service was exceptional considering it can be really stressful with so many people needing different services.
FEES
I had three different vaccines for my dog. The total price came out $ 39. That is amazing considering in my mind that I was going to dish out over $ 100. The price list on their website and their prices are VERY reasonable. Its no wonder why they have such long lines waiting to get in.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
Get in line on the right side of the doors. At 8:00a the doors will open. Once you get in and fill out paperwork, you are assigned a number on your dogs chart. Ours was 25, which means we were 25^th in line for vaccinations beginning at 9:00a. We did not finish until 10:30. You might want to secure your ticket, leave to do some errands or go get breakfast or something. Finally, you can come back around 10:00 and you should have only a few people ahead of you.
CAUTION: I dont know what number you will get or be. I dont know how fast the patients will finish who are ahead of you. Do the math. I was 25^th and we left around 10:30.
DID YOU KNOW? (Vaccines Only)
–Facility opens at 8:00a, but vaccinations begin at 9:00a
–There were atleast 40 people in line when we arrived at 7:30a
–They have doggy poop bags in two areas in front of facility
–Right at 8:00a, all vaccine visits should make a line to the right of the doors. All surgeries are to the left.
–Walmart across the street in case you have a long wait.
–They take credit cards for payments as well as cash.
–They are always packed, so be prepared mentally.
All in all the wait was worth the savings. I just might go get breakfast or run a quick errand so that I am not just sitting and wasting time. I will definitely be back!

I have taken all my animals here the are great at their jobs and very friendly! Process are great too!

I am VERY picky where I take my animals for care. I will admit I was skeptical about this place because it was so affordable, however, I took my 6 month old pup to get neutered and they were great. There is a little bit of a wait but totally worth it! My pups surgery was extremely well done! People on the reviews scared me by saying the people were awful… That is BS they were all friendly but very busy, which is ok in my book! I really recommend this place for something simple like neutering or vaccines!

Whoever gives this place less then 5 stars obviously doesnt even know this place or has only ever been to this animal clinc once because GSHS is litteraly the only clinc that has amazing service, cares for their pets and people, and are extemely low cost. Ive come here with over 15 PETS!!! Multiple times each! And I have never ever had a problem with anyones attitude! As a matter of fact Ashley, Bonnie, Geenie, Stevie, Angie, Alyssa, Antonia and all the rest are amazing people who truly have a passion for animals. Yes they may have a long wait at time but they are extremely LOW COST! And try to do as much as they can as fast as they can while doing it in a professional manor. I recommend this clinic to every single person I come across who has a pet especially to get fixed:)

This review is for a female puppy spay:
I was very skeptical about getting my tiny 6 month old poodle puppy getting spayed at a «low cost clinic.
However, I am sooooo happy with my choice!
She healed great and they were friendly and unbelievable prices!

If you come early in the morning during the week you’re in an and out with 30 or so minutes. Depending on what you’re coming for of course. I brought my dog for her first set of shots and it was a quick and easy visit. Always a plus!
I believe I paid around $ 40 for all of her shots which is pretty good!
They inform you that your dog may be a little lethargic after the shot but that’s normal and it was definitely true! The vets are all nice and so are the staff at the front desk. The seating area is sort of like benches with people keeping a watchful eye on their dogs. Overall good place to go!

I want to start off by saying this was my first time here at Golden State Humane Society Animal care center. I rescued two Maltese puppies and they both needed much care fast.
This is all new to me. When I walked in there were a lot of people there which I expected. MANY people need to expect, that there will be a wait time, so be patience.
The girls who helped me were so very kind, STEVIE was very kind to answer all my questions and concerns and I didn’t feel rushed, even though there were tons of people seeking services.
ARLENE another lady who worked there was also very accommodating as well. EUNICE was another lady I came in contact with was very sympathetic to my dogs, which made me feel great.
I also had a phone conversation with a lady named AMBER LEE, regarding a surgery coming up with my dog, she was so pleasant.
I did notice some pet owners who were seeking services were very rude to the staff and had no concept of being patience. Looking forwarded to doing business with Golden State Humane Society. Keep up your great customer service

Love this place my puppy Sophie has gotten her vaccines here and rabies shot, tech is excellent with my pup and all staff is very friendly. I was there first thing this morning and took less than 30 min. A bit of a drive for me, but well worth it.

I called. Not very friendly, almost sarcastic.
I received an automated answer on the phone number posted here, this is the real number:
714−935−6848
They won’t spay or neuter your pet unless you adopted that pet from their center. Petsmart told me to call them but I guess they were wrong. The woman who answered the phone was not very helpful in recommending other places, she just wanted to hang up. Lol.

Called GSHS to inquire about pricing for cat neutering and was happy to hear services/​pricing was provided on their automated greeting. Per the automation, you are required to make an appointment to get your per fixed. The pricing was the most affordable so I decided to go ahead and set things up. Luckily, I was able to get an appointment to get my cat fixed the very next day! The gal on the phone was very patient and took her time with me — she wasn’t short and didnt rush, like other Unilocalers have mentioned.
Drop off is between 8 – 8:30 am. When I got to GSHS parking was a bit of an issue, all lots available for customers were full as well as surrounding street parking. I had to wait for a neighborhood resident to leave so I could take his parking space on the street. (I can’t really fault GSHS in regard to the parking situation as it seems they’ve made a valiant effort for customer parking — there are 3 lots available: a few spots directly behind the building; a lot just south of GSHS; and a lot in front of GSHS across the street.) I had to sign in and do the initial paperwork like you do any any new medical office you visit. I will say that the lobby was full of pet patients waiting to be seen, and there were even pets and owners outside as well, and they haven’t even officially opened to the masses yet. Had to wait a solid 30 mins before getting called into the exam room to do a quick physical assessment — and I was out within 5 minutes.
They require cats to stay overnight if they get fixed, so I returned the next day between 9 and 11am, as instructed. I came at 11, and got parking immediately. Also, aside from another customer picking up their cat as well, the lobby was completely empty at this time. Pick up was easy; they went over some after-​care instructions, payment, and my cat and I were out in less than 10 mins.
So let’s talk payment. My total was $ 54.50!!! I was in shock! My cat got neutered, got the final set of vaccines, a microchip, and pain meds! I still can’t believe how cheap it all came out to be! Other vets have charged $ 40 – 50 just for a microchipping alone! Note: you will have to register the microchip number on your own which costs about $ 20. GSHS will provide you info on how to do so.
I’ve had a great overall experience thus far and have already recommended GSHS to my friends & fam.
To summarize, here are quick reference tips:
— Appointments are made only when getting your pet fixed;
— Vaccines are walk-​in only and administered between 9 to 11:30 am (this explains the super long a.m. crowds)
— Office Exams for other issues are also walk-​in only between 1 to 5.

BEST CAT AND DOG CLINIC EVER!
I live in LA but this is the clinic i trust my dogs care in. Its a non profit so donations and grants are what keeps the proces so reasonably low. The wait times can be long sometimes (45 min to hour on busiest days). I recommend you get there by 8am, as there are usually customers outaide waiting for the doors to open.
The clinic to me symbolizes everything a well run clinic ahould be. Clean facilities and super knowledgeable and friendly staff that anyone can tell they really care about our fur children.
«Fixed» my dog and installed microchip, recieved pain meds and half a year of flea ointment for 70 beans. Cool, huh?
And the cherry on top? The staff are pretty much your girl next door looking babes that are as friendly as they are attractive!
Love GHS!

We’ve been here several times for vaccinations for our dachshund. Hunter always gets very nervous as soon as we park and starts to get the shivers. However, the staff is very sweet and really take care of the pets that come thru. So Hunter always calms down rather quickly. We found that he is allergic to shots, so he has to get an antibiotic shot before any of his vaccinations, poor guy. The only reason why I didn’t give this place 4 stars is because of a couple mishaps. On two separate occasions we waited a little over an hour just to be informed that we had to come back later in the week; they ran out of the antibiotic shots. This place is very affordable and they do a great job, so we definitely understand. Just make sure you don’t come during peak hours (9 – 1) or you’ll be sure to wait an hour+.

Both my cousin and I have taken our puppies here (the puppies are sisters) to get chipped, vaccinations and spayed. They are very organized here, and everyone is really nice. The prices are more than reasonable and fair. I also appreciate that the facility is clean. This facility is always busy it never skips a beat, but like I said they are very organized so line moves quickly. In the morning driving by you’ll see people lined up already left line is to see the vet and the line on the right is for shots. If your fur baby needs vaccinations take them in the morning in case your fur baby has an allergic reaction they will be able to assist you, otherwise you’ll have to go to some after hours emergency facility which could be pricy, they actually instructed us on that for vaccinations which I also appreciate.
They have limited parking so you might have to park in the neighborhood.
Also, when the pups got spayed they checked to see if the pups had baby teeth and pulled them out since they were going under anyways! no extra charge !! Super cool ! I definitely recommend to take your animals here !

I recently adopted/​rescued a pup! He’s 5 months old and you know what that means! There is a list laundry list of to do and getting him properly taken care of is top to do! I brought him in to get neutered and I was left very impressed! I arrived before they opened and there were already a few other people with pets waiting. Once the doors opened they communicated where to stand and got everyone moving through the check in process quickly and effectively. From getting there to leaving my pup it was about 40 mins. Everyone I met with was friendly and kind to both me and my boy Jack. I didn’t pick him up, but it sounds like they were very thorough on the after care process.
I love that even though it’s a low cost care facility, you’re still getting top notch service! I don’t feel so nervous about coming back for the staple removal and the rest of his shots.
