The Pet Rescue Center
We are more than just a Rescue Group! We strive to make a substantial, positive impression on the pet community.
We combine existing efforts used by Rescue Groups to create a more efficient rescue process by working cooperatively with rescue groups, veterinarians, shelters, pet supply stores, and the community.
We create positive relationships with Kill and No Kill Shelters by reviewing their PTS (Put to Sleep) lists for pets to save, and Special Needs lists for medical cases that we can treat in house to ensure their adoption.
We utilize a state-of-the-art facility for boarding, medical treatment, and rehabilitation for our rescued pets.
We sponsor medical treatments for our rescued pets as needed, including but not limited to spay/neuter, microchips and vaccines.
We have an outstanding Education Program, providing on-site tours and off-site educational experiences, as well as Community Service opportunities for youth of all ages.
We have a Pet Pantry for Seniors and the Unemployed which provides free pet food & cat litter to those who qualify.
Our goal is to help families care for their pets and prevent unnecessary owner surrenders to our over-crowded local shelters.
We network with other vets, shelters, rescue groups and the community throughout all of California, to rescue dogs and cats from situations that without our intervention would result in the unnecessary euthanasia of that dog or cat. We personally tour and search out shelters that euthanize due to over crowding, these dogs and cats sometimes have merely 4 days to find a family before their time is up. We seek out these dogs and cats through personal trips to the shelters, email warnings for at risk dogs and cats, and special requests by other rescue groups to work cooperatively to save these adoptable and loveable pets. This requires a constant staff for email review, shelter list review, phone calls to shelters, transport and time.
Once our rescues are brought to The PRC facility our Veterinarian and Operations Director RVT thoroughly examine the dog or cat for any medical, behavioral, aesthetic or social problems that will need rehabilitation during his/her stay with us. The duration of stay for each dog and cat rescue is determined by the severity of the rescues rehabilitation, spay/neuter, vaccination, flea treatment and microchipping needs. Once a rescue is ready to go, we will tirelessly work to find that dog or cat a forever family though social media, adoption websites, meet and greets and adoption events. We are always sad to see our rescues go, but so happy to know we have saved a life and created a family.
All for a very worthy outcome, Saving Lives!
