Get to know them.

Del Mar Dog Rescue works across Southern California and Baja to help dogs recover from neglect, abandonment and abuse. It is foster-based, so the path toward adoption runs through temporary homes rather than a public shelter visit. Medical care and rehabilitation are part of the work before a lasting home is found.

For someone considering adoption, the individual dog listings are the most useful starting point. If you want to help more gradually, follow the rescue’s updates about volunteering and events, or ask about fostering. Because dogs are cared for across a network of homes, coordinate any meeting with the team instead of looking for a walk-in rescue location.
