Downtown Dog Rescue

About Our Rescue Group

The Downtown Dog Rescue is a small group of volunteers who work with homless people in and around the skid row area of downtown LA that have dogs. We are the safety net for the dogs that belong to homless people. We adopt out over 200 dogs per year and assist in spaying and neutering close to 500 dogs in the downtown and South LA area. We host free spay and neuter events in some of the poorest areas of the CIty, including Watts and Compton, and organize transportation of dogs that need to be spayed and nuetered. We also do community outreach about the importance of spaying/neutering dogs. We are no-kill, and all money donated to our organzition goes to the care of the dogs, 100% All of our dogs that we offer for adoption are put through our socialization program, and are not adopted out until we truly know the dog's personality. We vaccinate, sterilized, and work all the dogs into a dog pack so that they can learn to play with other dogs, and feel confident when they are adopted into their forever homes.

Come Meet our Pets

We have a weekly adoption event at Petco in Pasadena at 845 South Arroyo Parkway in Pasadena from 11-2:00. Not all of our dogs go to the weekly event, so please call us if you are interested in meeting a specific dog, and we will make sure to make that dog available to meet you. You can also arrange an appointment at our kennel to see all of our dogs by calling Sandy at 818-407-4145

Our Adoption Process

Our general adoption donation is suggested at $200.00. This ammount covers the care and spaying/neutering that each dog receives. 100% of that donation goes back into our account to pay for another dog who will be adopted out, or is in need of medical care that his/her homeless person cannot pay for. We also use the adoption doantions to pay for people who are low income and cannot pay for the urgent care that their dogs requires. We are a 501c3 non profit so your adoption doantion is tax decutible

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
