All Creatures Animal Caring Society

About Our Rescue Group

We are a non-profit, ALL-VOLUNTEER rescue and animal welfare organization founded in 1995. We
place mostly dogs and mostly those from shelters.
We try to help individuals who need to re-home their
animals by providing a 'packet of information' which allows THEM to do what WE DO and offering them
multiple suggestions for re-homing the animal.
I am the founder of All Creatures and I do it because
of my FUNKTIONLUST --- I do best what I love and
I love all animals.

Come Meet our Pets

Prospective adopters MUST complete an application found on our website prior to meeting any of our
listed animals. www.allcreaturesmarin.org

We do not do 'on-site' adoptions. We do fewer adoptions and they take longer, but we introduce those people and dogs who seem most like a 'match to us.

When we believe we have a match, we call the applicant to set up an appointment at our own "doggy yard", a
1/2 acre, fully fenced yard.

Our Adoption Process

We have an adoption contract (shown on our web site).
Our fees vary, but the most common is: $ 225 for
each dog and includes spay or neuter, rabies and
DAP or DHLPP vaccinations. Some adoption fees can be as high as @ $250 and some as low as $ 125.
If a dog has to be in boarding, our costs are usually even greater than $225.

We admit to being pretty fussy.

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.
