Rescue FAQs

The El Cajon Dog and Cat Animal Rescue (EDCAR) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization. We are an all breed, no kill dog rescue who rescues dogs at risk of being euthanized from shelters. We also rescue many owner surrendered dogs; which are dogs that can no longer remain in their current homes due to many different issues.

El Cajon Dog and Cat Animal Rescue is dedicated to reducing the number of dogs that are euthanized in our shelters each and everyday. We focus on rescuing and rehabilitating them in loving foster homes until they are adopted into their permanent homes. We also focus on educating the public regarding specific breeds, behavioral issues, training issues,spaying and neutering.
We serve the San Diego area of Southern California. The majority of our animals are rescued from the Imperial Valley area. We also take in private surrenders from the local San Diego area throughout the year. Hello
