A Message from our Board of Directors

Our mission,  vision and passion is to save dogs of all sizes and all breeds by placing them into loving forever homes. We are an all-volunteer, foster home based, 501(c)(3) dog rescue organization based in Southern  California. We do not have a physical shelter.  Instead, we operate primarily through our foster homes, online databases and at adoption events/expos.

The majority of our animals come from high-kill animal shelters throughout Southern California, where overcrowding and overpopulation lead to the euthanasia of millions of healthy, friendly pets every year.

We are committed to providing the dogs that come into Leashes of Love Rescue, Inc. with the best possible care while they wait for their forever homes by acclimating them to life outside of a shelter and providing the appropriate veterinary care needed. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

Because our foster homes are the backbone of Leashes of Love Rescue, and to help our organization run smoothly, it is our goal to provide the best experience possible. We encourage each foster home to be as involved as they are comfortable with and allow them the freedom to foster based on their needs, restrictions, or desires.
