More Than Events. It’s Community.
Every event brings together volunteers, adopters, supporters, local businesses—and, of course, the dogs who bring us all together.
Whether you’re stopping by to meet an adoptable dog, joining a fundraiser, or volunteering your time, you’re part of what makes this rescue possible.
Want to Be Part of the Fun?
Our events happen because of an incredible team of volunteers who show up for the dogs. From adoption events and fundraisers to dog walking, transport, and behind-the-scenes help, there’s a place for everyone.
More events are always on the way! Check back often as we add new adoption events, fundraisers, and community gatherings throughout Orange County, San Diego County, and beyond.
