Rocket Dog Rescue

Rocket Dog Rescue is a volunteer-based organization serving the greater Bay Area, dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from over crowded animal shelters. We also help dogs from other areas that have compelling situations where they are in danger of abuse, neglect or euthanasia. Rocket Dog Rescue places dogs into temporary foster homes where they are socialized, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions limiting their adoptability. RDR actively searches for permanent homes for its foster dogs through its website and ongoing mobile adoption fairs and special events, which introduce our animals to potential adopters. Rocket Dog Rescue also provides assistance to individuals and animal rescue groups fostering dogs in need of permanent new homes.

Founded in 2001, Rocket Dog Rescue’s ultimate goal is to create a world where all companion animals have loving and permanent homes and where no good natured dogs, no matter what their age, are killed in shelters because they are considered to be surplus or un-adoptable.

• Rocket Dog Rescue is devoted to saving abused and unwanted dogs from euthanasia in high-kill shelters. While we are a volunteer-based organization and believe that people can make their own choices in food, we have adopted the following policy: donor money will only be used to purchase vegetarian fare. As well, RDR will highly encourage food donations to adoption and fund-raising events to be vegetarian.”
