About Us

Founder and President, Emma Fresco, with her dog, Zuma

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 off the street – 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.
