About Us
Sandy Dog Rescue was founded by Emma Fresco, a surfer from Santa Monica, CA.
Since rescuing my first dog in 2013, I have made it my life’s mission to rescue as many dogs as I possibly can. I pull dogs out of high kill shelters and work with rescues in Tijuana – finding dogs that would otherwise be forgotten and placing them with their forever families.
Mission Statement
We believe shelter dogs are the most loving, loyal and grateful four legged family members you will ever have.
Our focus is saving the lives of dogs in jeopardy at Southern California shelters. Once rescued, our dogs receive veterinary care, rehabilitation and foster care until they are matched with their forever homes across the United States.
