Our services

Everything your pet needs to feel fresh

Every appointment starts with a look at your pet's coat, skin, and comfort level, so we can pick the care that fits them. Call us for pricing for your pet's size and coat.

💜 Volunteering · Homeless pets

Every pet deserves a fresh start.

Grooming is part of what we do — and part of what we give. Purple Paws Pal volunteers grooming care for homeless pets in Los Angeles: baths, brush-outs, nail trims, and tidy-ups that help them feel comfortable and look their very best.

Call to volunteer · (323) 300-7175 See ways to help

We keep this page general on purpose: opportunities vary, so the best first step is always a quick call to ask what's needed right now.

Why it matters

A groom can change how a pet feels — and how they're seen

Pets without homes often arrive matted, overgrown, or overdue for basic care. A bath and a brush-out aren't just cosmetic:

  • 🫧
    ComfortRemoving mats and overgrowth relieves pulling, irritation, and hidden skin trouble.
  • 🐾
    Health check-by-eyeGrooming is a chance to notice ears, nails, skin, and coat issues that need attention.
  • 📸
    Adoption-ready looksA clean, tidy pet photographs beautifully and makes a warm first impression with visitors.
  • 💜
    TrustCalm, kind handling helps shy pets learn that people can be gentle.
Ways to help

There's a role for every kind of helper

You don't have to be a groomer to make a difference. Here are the ways people most often pitch in — call us and we'll match you to what's actually needed.

Volunteer your time

Help around grooming sessions for homeless pets — comforting animals, assisting with brush-outs, and keeping things calm and organized. Patient animal lovers are welcome; we'll show you what's needed.

Donate grooming supplies

Towels, pet-safe shampoo, brushes, and similar basics go a long way. Call first at (323) 300-7175 so we can tell you what's most useful right now.

Spread the word

Share this page with friends, neighbors, and fellow pet lovers in Los Angeles. The more people who know homeless pets need grooming care, the more help reaches them.

Good to know

Volunteer questions

Do I need grooming experience?

No. Professional grooming is handled by our team, and there are plenty of helpful roles — comforting pets, brushing, and assisting — that don't require experience. If you are an experienced groomer who wants to donate skilled time, we'd especially love to hear from you.

Which shelter or rescue do you work with?

We support homeless pets generally rather than through one named partner on this page. Call us at (323) 300-7175 and we're happy to tell you about current efforts and where help is needed most.

What should I donate?

Clean towels, pet-safe shampoo, brushes, and combs are always useful. Please call before dropping anything off so we can confirm current needs and arrange a time.

Where does volunteering happen?

Start with a call to (323) 300-7175. Our salon is at 507 N Arden Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, and we'll confirm the details for any session you join.

Lend a hand — and a brush 💜

Whether it's an hour of your time, a bag of towels, or simply sharing this page, it all helps a homeless pet feel cared for. Call us to get started.
