·     Dog by Dog. To rescue all­breed dogs, who have been abandoned in shelters or on the street, for the purpose of finding them safe permanent homes, and to provide beloved companion animals to loving families. To guide prospective adopters in choosing a companion animal of appropriate breed, age, and temperament for their lifestyle, and to educate them in the proper care of their adopted pets. To provide veterinary care, training, and follow­up support, even re­homing if necessary, for our rescued dogs. It takes a village. To inspire and motivate individuals worldwide to take action to alleviate the suffering of innocent, abandoned and unwanted animals in their own communities. To educate and inform the public regarding the importance of spaying and neutering in reducing canine and feline overpopulation.

Every dog that we rescue and place in a permanent loving home makes the Southern California communities that we serve better places to live. The wanton destruction of unwanted animals in our shelters is an unnecessary economic and psychological burden that we all share. The dogs that we save are beautiful loving creatures who want nothing more than to give and receive love, thereby enriching the lives of the people who care for them. It is well known that pet guardianship conveys very positive emotional, psychological and physical benefits on the guardian. So by saving and placing these precious lives we are making a difference on many levels � improving the lives of the dogs we save, the lives of the families who adopt them, and the lives of all of the members of our community, by helping to right a terrible wrong that keeps us from achieving our true potential as human beings.
