Rescue FAQs

Paws for Genesis is an all breed dog rescue. We pull at risk dogs from high kill shelters all over California. The dogs we save are all at risk of being euthanized by no fault of there own. We give them a second chance at life, and for many of them we are giving them a warm place to stay, and love for the first time in their lives. The trust and devotion that these amazing animals are able to give us in return lets us know that we need to keep going.
