Animals Rule Rescue

Our Mission Statement: Our primary goal is to remove dogs in danger of being euthanized from shelter environments and foster them until permanent homes are found through our adoption program. We believe in the spay and neuter of all animals, regardless of breed, in order to aid in the prevention of pet overpopulation. We make sure all sick or injured animals receive proper veterinary care, necessary rehabilitation, and dogs who have behaviors that need to be modified recieve basic training.  Our dogs come to us from a variety of different sources. Most of our dogs are rescued from our City and County Shelters, others are strays, neglected, or abandoned due to bad economic times.

2009 Accomplishments: In 2009 we rescued and adopted 149 dogs. All 149 dogs were spayed/nuetered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. We also assisted 9 low income/homeless families with pet food and help in the spay/neuter of their pets thus helping to keep them in their current homes.  Once a month we hosted the Amanda Foundation's mobile spay/neuter truck at our facility allowing them to fix up to 35 dogs a day from low income families for FREE.  We attended the Americas Family Pet Expo in which we educated the public on rescue dog adoption, spay/neuter, and we adopted out 6 rescue dogs.  We also attended the Manhattan Beach Fire Department's Pet adoption day at the firestation in which we adopted out 8 dogs, educated the public on pet care, the importance of spay/neuter and annual vaccinations. spay/neuter,
