This program was designed to help assist Private Rescuers in their efforts to rescue and place animals in loving homes.

What is a Private Rescuer?
An individual by what ever means has taken on the care and responsibility for an orphaned dog and wants to help him or her find a forever home. Maybe a dog found their way to your front door or jumped in your car or was given to you by someone who can no longer care for their pet or you have taken it upon yourself to help the city shelters with the over abundance of dogs and cats our community drops at their door steps and take one home with you. Whatever the case might be Pet Orphans wants to lend a paw and help you with your efforts to assist an animal in need.

What can Pet Orphans offer you?

• Financial assistance for Spay & Neuter
• Vaccinations
• Training
• Guidance in the care of a fostered animal
• Expertise in screening potential adopters
• A place to show case your rescue to the public for adoption

How it all works

Pet Orphans sets up Adoption/Education booths at many different events in Southern California where we can show case adoptable pets and educate the public on a variety of animal issues.

Where do we hold Mobile Adoptions?

• Fairs
• Parades
• Adoption festivals
• Farmers markets
• Coffee shops
• Where ever there is the possibility to find Rovers new home

How can you get involved?

• Make all efforts to make sure the dog you have rescued does NOT have a family & home waiting for him or her to return to. Read FOUND A STRAY
• Take time and consider the HUGE responsibility you are taking on and make sure you are prepared to foster your rescued dog for many months in some cases, before a suitable home can be found.
• Understand Pet Orphans only has limited space and good chances are we will NOT be able to take your rescue into our shelter. Read PRIVATE ADOPTION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
• Fill out the form below and submit you and your rescue to our Kennel Manager Alice for consideration.
