NorCal Freedom for Paws (NCFFP) mission is to find a furever homes for all surrendered pets to our Rescue. We are here when owners lose their ability to care for their animals and when the shelters are overcrowded or breeders are overwhelmed. We offer a judgment-free zone to all people and circumstances of surrendering beloved pets, breeding animals, abandoned or unwanted. We match these animals to potential adopters. We find loving fosters in the interim of adoption.

I own, and personally run Bread of Life K9 Refuge alongside my husband and our children. We are a faith based, family run organization that we founded 5 years ago now. While we take in many dogs that make it to the adoption side, and are able to find wonderful families, there are also many that don't, so we become their happy ending 💖 Our mission is to serve God's purpose in our lives to continue the work behind the scenes of all we do here from the many hospice, abuse, neglect, and abandonment cases we take in. God's faithfulness, unwavering grace, and steady foundation in our lives has enabled us  to embark on this beautiful journey to do our life's work by giving animals second chances through God's promise of a better tomorrow.

We focus on mostly animals coming out of the shelter, severe medical, we are an all breed, foster based rescue.

Del Mar Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing abused, neglected, abandoned, stray dogs. The organization is operated solely by volunteers; and relies fully on adoption fees and charitable donations for its existence. Del Mar Dog Rescue aims to be of service to animals and pets that do not have a voice, by giving them the care and loving companionship they need. Our mission is to rescue dogs that are abused, neglected, abandoned, homeless and helpless. Our goal is to remove animals from impoverished, intolerable conditions and provide them with proper nutrition and necessary veterinary care. Including appropriate vaccinating, evaluation by a veterinarian, necessary treatment, and (age appropriate) spaying or neutering of all dogs that come into our care, which in turn helps stunt the over reproduction of dogs. Likewise, we introduce socializing techniques to teach good pet behavior while reinforcing positive human interaction, to equip our dogs as best as possible for integrating into a happy, healthy environment. Our aim is to save as many dogs in need as possible, preparing them to be adoptable and finding them their forever home. We are based in Southern California (San Diego, CA) and our team of volunteers extends our organization’s reach to places where there is a need for comprehensive animal services. We travel to areas where the capacity to provide the former is limited or non existent, including areas where there are large cases of animal euthanasia. As a rescue we save puppies and dogs from desperate conditions. -There are a surplus of dogs which have been abandoned, homeless, neglected, and that are consistently filling the space at high-kill facilities. -The number of helpless puppies and dogs that we are able to rescue is limited to the the current bandwidth our organization has to care for dogs in our possession and the turnaround time between finding each dog a qualified adopter. -Del Mar Dog Rescue has developed a strong relationship with PetSmart Store Number 1959, in Puyallup, WA, where we have hosted adoption events that consist of an average of 40 adoptable dogs and puppies per event. -In turn, the in-store adoptions are steadily increasing our annual adoptions.

We started 4 Paws Kiddo Rescue in 2018 after decades of working in several different aspects of Animal Rescue as transporters, caretakers, volunteers and whatever other ways we found to contribute to the needs of animals as we saw them. Among the primary purposes of 4 Paws Kiddo Rescue is to help dogs in need of socialization and medical care get assistance and care, and then help them to find healthy permanent homes. Secondarily it’s to find dogs in need of homes and match them up with people looking for specific types of dogs. While our main focus is on small to medium sized dogs, we’ve also been able to place large dogs with appropriate new owners as well. At times we’ve even been able to find homes for cats. A lot of our energy is focused on injured and at-risk dogs who need some extra physical or psychological care. We regularly take in dogs with severe physical injuries, lingering illnesses and age related diseases. We also spend a lot of time helping dogs with socialization issues learn how to trust people, other dogs and unfamiliar living situations.

Angus & Friends Cat Rescue, aka, Angus & Friends, Inc., works collaboratively with other groups to do Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and to find loving, furrever homes for as many stray cats, and kittens, as possible. We are passionate about the cats, and about educating the public about ways to help the cats and kittens that cross their paths with the goal of reducing the numbers of community cats on the streets. Angus & Friends, Inc., is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity organization that aims to reduce the numbers of community cats who suffer lives of deprivation and pain. As a small organization, we recognize the importance of working with other rescue groups to accomplish this goal due to the sheer numbers of cats and kittens born. We can be most effective when we can access the most resources, and we can do that by actively seeking out help wherever it is needed, and offering help whenever we have the resources.

Sandy Paws Sanctuary is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Foster based rescue. We love and cherish the black dogs, momma dogs, senior citizens, and the strong willed dogs.

Which includes finding a forever family where our pup can be themselves and receive unconditional love.

For every cat in need, a solution.

We provide rescue and rehabilitation (medical and behavior) for homeless dogs, and work to find them good adoptive homes when they're ready. We also provide accessible training to try to prevent dogs from becoming homeless, and engage in and initiate numerous other creative efforts to help keep dogs in their homes and increase adoptions of dogs into good, loving, permanent homes.

We specialize in neonatal, critical care, and special needs kitten rescue. We believe these kittens' lives matter, and that they are worth the extra time, energy, and expense it takes to help them survive and thrive. We aspire to promote diversity, inclusivity, and compassion, and to show that animals with disabilities can live full, rich, and happy lives.
