ALMA Rescue 501c3

Dog rescue in Oceanside, CA

ALMA Rescue is a So. Cal 501c3 who rescues dogs from throughout Mexico and provides them with all of the veterinary care they need. We provide ALL vaccinations, de-worming, flea/tick prevention, micro-chipping & spay and neuter surgery. We operate two "rescue homes:" one in Baja and one in Tijuana and our rescued pups have full time caretakers to ensure they get the best of care. We also put on multiple large FREE Spay and Neuter Clinics 2-3 times per year in both areas to help with the serious and heartbreaking pet overpopulation problem there. To date, we have fixed over 2500 animals! ALMA was founded by childhood friends Erin Riley-Carrasco and Suzie Williamson. ALMA Rescue has a dedicated group of wonderful volunteers who help transport and foster all of our rescued dogs. We are passionate about helping to stop animal suffering and encourage everyone to save a life and ADOPT DON'T SHOP!
