Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application and home check for our animals to ensure their safety. Adoption fees start at $400 fee that includes spay/neuter, vaccines and microchip. For breeds like chis, pits and senior dogs, we may offer a reduced fee to help promote the adoption of pet in the shelter overpopulation (at the discretion of the rescue).

About Scratch My Belly

OUR MISSION
ScratchMyBelly.org was founded to support rescues that save animals from Southern California high kill shelter and Mexico street animals.

Our goal is to help raise funds to rehabilitate the neglected, injured and sick. In addition, we will also help perfectly healthy animals in a partnership with other rescues, in order to find them forever homes.

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.
