About Us

AdoptionCenterOutside

Foothill Dog Rescue is a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to re-homing dogs from high-kill shelters and dogs from owners who can no longer care for them.

Foothill Dog Rescue’s goal is to rescue dogs in need of a second chance, a new home and a new leash on life. This includes shelter dogs, those in unfit living conditions, sick or injured dogs, pregnant dogs and puppies which we ultimately will place in loving forever homes. Our rescue provides all necessary medical care including intake vaccines, spay/neuter, microchips, deworming and any necessary surgeries along with setting them up in nurturing, safe foster homes. We strive to get to know each dog, determine what their ideal home is and find the perfect fit for their needs.  Foothill Dog Rescue assists underserved areas not only with re-homing dogs due to unfortunate circumstances, but also with supporting spay/neuter and vaccination clinics in order to be a part of the solution in reducing the amount of unwanted dogs in shelters and in our surrounding communities.

We are currently open M-F 10:30-12:30 and Saturdays 11:00-1:00.

If you are interested in a dog, please submit an application in order to be pre-screened as a potential adopter

All of our dogs are placed in foster homes and without our fosters we would not be able to rescue all of the dogs (over 4300 and counting) that we have re-homed. Please consider fostering for us as we can only pull as many dogs from the high-kill shelters as we have fosters available for. If you are interested in fostering please complete the agreement here.

If you have additional questions please ask our volunteer office staff here.  We’ll do our best to answer your questions or will direct you to someone who can.

HELP US WITH OUR MEDICAL FUND THIS BIG DAY OF GIVING

Medical costs come in many forms…not to mention the cones…
Some dogs are unable to leave the shelter, unless a rescue pulls them because of medical needs (Bonnie Raitt), some dogs come to us with unexpected medical needs from surgery (Haribo for pyometria, Mimosa for her amputation). They also come in the form of medicine, because of a cough or open wound (many of our dogs have come in with kennel cough and Rolo came in with many open wounds needing a drain put in and strong antibiotics and anti pain meds), to x-rays (for Delilah to determine what her jaw issue was) or after surgery physical therapy (for Odessa and Rico). Some also come in the form of fospice dogs’ needs like heart medicine, insulin or just continued vaccines/vet appts as they live out their golden years.
 
In 2022, FDR spent ❗️$138,000❗️on medical and so far, since January, we have spent over ❗️$30,000❗️on medical costs ➡️NOT⬅️including spays, neuters and basic vaccines. Currently over 90% of our dogs are not spayed, neutered or fully vaccinated upon intake).
❤️ We need your help in order to continue helping the dogs in need - at shelters, in unsuitable environments, in situations in our community where people can no longer care for their pets and our continued support of our fospice dogs (currently we have 15 in our care) and dogs in our care waiting to be adopted.❤️
