No one said it would be easy, they only said it would be worth it

Northern California All Breed Rescue

Helping death-row, abused, and neglected dogs find forever homes. We do not discriminate by breed, age or special needs. As long as we’re capable of helping out, we will never say no!

How to help?

If you have extra time on your hand and would like to help please consider volunteering! Rescue groups need dedicated volunteers to help with events, fundraisers, home checks, transports, etc. All of these things help enable the rescue to expand their network and help more dogs in need.

If you are looking to add a furry companion to your family, please consider adopting instead of buying. When you adopt you are saving not one life but two. Once a dog in our program is adopted we are able to save another in their place, therefore two lives will be saved! Click here to view our adoptables!

Rescues run on foster homes, without foster homes we are unable to save the dogs in need. If you are not ready for a dog or cannot commit to another dog, please consider fostering! Fostering saves lives! Click here to become a foster!

If you don’t have the time available, another way to help make a difference is sponsoring towards a dog in need or donating to help the next dog we rescue. Donations enable us to take in dogs that would otherwise be euthanized. No amount is too little, every penny counts! Anything helps!
