Pacific Coast Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 and dedicated to helping end the overwhelming pet overpopulation problem in Southern California with a specific interest in the Greater Los Angeles-area. We have a facility in Burbank, CA, which is licensed to hold 90 dogs and is always at capacity. If you have found a dog, or have a dog that needs a new home, please check our Outreach Program.

Our dogs are rescued from “death row” at city and county shelters, from a life abandoned on the streets, and from other situations of neglect and cruelty. While in our care, each dog is given the love and attention they need to be adopted into a new, permanent home. Each dog receives the high quality vet-approved diet, is spayed/neutered, vaccinated, vetted, groomed, exercised, housebroken and socialized so he or she will be prepared for life with a loving family.

So far, we have found homes for over 1,500 dogs and with your support, we’ll continue to save as many lives as we can!

We have a team of amazing volunteers who come to our facility and our weekly mobile adoptions to help us care for our pups, and a larger team of supporters who help us by donating money, supplies, and other services. We cannot possibly thank everyone who helps make PCDR happen, but some of the key figures are mentioned below.

If you would like to join the PCDR team, please contact us today!
