About 1000 Orphans

Located in Southern California, 1000 Orphans was formed as a 501c(3) organization to provide support to local and overseas organizations that are providing food, shelter, and medical care to abandoned and stray dogs. We also support the efforts of organizations that are focused on the task of effective and humane control of stray dog populations in Taiwan.
As part of these efforts, we find homes for some of these dogs that have been rescued from the streets of Taiwan so that they may finally have a family to call home, as well as to help in easing the overwhelming conditions at independent rescues there. We also help in homing local dogs, including addressing necessary medical needs, that have come to us either as stray or abandoned pets.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

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, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
