Directions Website

We help homeless pets find their furever homes. Serving the South Bay of Los Angeles County, CA. We are an all breed rescue.

Noah's Bark is committed to finding permanent and happy homes for the unwanted and homeless pets in our community. Noah's Bark is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit pet rescue organization based in the Los Angeles South Bay area. Some dogs come to us as strays, but the majority come from LA area shelters, all of which are HIGH KILL shelters. We often rescue the most broken and pitiful dogs from these shelters, the ones that would have little to no chance of being adopted by the public. We give these dogs a second chance at a new and loving life. Noah’s Bark was founded in 1997 by Lila Hemmingway. It is now run by Shelly Gomez, a dedicated animal advocate. Shelly was there in the beginning with Lila when the organization was first founded. We rescue and rehome approximately 300 pets each year. Our organization does not have a shelter where all of the rescues are centrally housed. Dedicated volunteers provide foster homes while our rescues await their forever homes. If you would like to help Noah’s Bark by becoming a foster or by making a donation, please visit our website at www.noahsbark.org

When a strange creature with sharp little knives on her paws steals your toy and you’re not sure what to do! Safe to say that Bamm Bamm is fine with cats! Lol!
He’s a great little puppy and is learning how to be respectful in all situations, even when someone steals your toy!

Look at our beautiful girl! Dakota is our 1 1/2 year old shepherd mix and has been with us a for a while and we do not understand why. She’s a great dog! She prefers women to men. We aren’t sure what happened to her before she came to NB but she is learning to trust men and is fine with her foster mom’s boyfriend and other male friends. It just takes time and treats! She is fine with other dogs and even cats too. Dakota would love a family that would include her in their family outings. She loves going on walks and hikes and she does really well on leash. She’s also great in the car! Who doesn’t love a great road dog?!
Dakota is a “small” big dog weighing in at only 48 pounds. She has an athletic build but is pretty compact. I think her ears are the biggest thing about her! lol! Dakota deserves her forever home…she has been with us for 8 months without any real adoption prospects. We just don’t understand why people don’t see what we see but maybe you will!

We have some very sad news about our sweet boy, Mater. 💔 After visiting a specialist yesterday, we made the decision, with the vet, to let Mater go. His jaw was so extensively damaged that he had actually lost the blood supply to the right side of his lower jaw. The bone and tissue were dead. The only way to move forward was to remove the right side of his lower jaw. And he would have to have multiple surgeries over the course of the next year on the left side of his lower jaw. The blood supply was compromised on that side as well, just not completely severed like it was on the right side. The vet specialist said he had only seen trauma this extensive 2 other times and they were large adult dogs. He had never seen anything like this in a puppy. And he said that Mater was in a great amount of pain even with all of his pain meds, but he was just a puppy and pushed through it because he didn’t know any different. He was just happy to eat and be loved. 😭
We are sharing this with you because we know you were on this journey with Mater too. We want you to know we wanted the very best for him and did not make this decision lightly. It was hard to let him go because I loved him and had grown very attached to our happy little hippo. My heart hurts but I know that we made the right decision for Mater. The last week and half, he has only known love and a full belly. He loved to be held and have the spot behind both ears scratched. He loved to just sit in your lap and stare into your eyes lovingly, just so grateful to be there with you.
I hope you all understand why we made the decision to let him go. And if you don’t, it’s ok. But please know we loved him very much.

Even though we did not have the outcome we hoped and prayed for, we still have to pay his $2,000+ vet bill. We have raised $890 so far. So if you would like to help us pay the $1,100 balance we would be so grateful. It would be a wonderful way to honor the life of our happy little hippo, Mater🤎
