About Us

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.

Foothill Dog Rescue (FDR) was founded in March 2013 to make a difference in the lives of the many wonderful dogs in shelters through no fault of their own. To date, FDR has saved over 5,000 dogs by rescuing them from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders, placing them in foster homes, and adopting them to well-matched forever homes. 

Foothill Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer organization that does not have any paid staff. FDR has 150-180 volunteers including fosters, office staff, and Adoption Event staff. The organization is solely funded by adoption fees, donations, and fundraisers. The more support FDR receives, the more lives they will be able to save. FDR provides its foster families with everything they need to care for their dogs in foster care. This includes food, crates, toys, training, and medical care.  Before adoptions are finalized, FDR ensures that each dog is fully vetted, including spay and neuter, vaccinations, adult dogs are heartworm tested and all dogs and puppies microchipped. They also provide any special medical attention required.
