Death Row Dogs Rescue is a 100% all-volunteer, NO-Kill rescue 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

We are run solely by volunteers who dedicate their time and resources to rescuing

homeless pets from the streets and animal shelters who are often moments away from being euthanized.

We provide housing, medical care and training to these neglected, abused and often severely injured animals.

All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. PLEASE CLICK ON THE DONATE ICON BELOW...

For the past 38 years we have been dedicated to saving dogs on death row in the city and county shelters as well as saving abandoned, neglected and abused dogs in Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas.Please go to our Dogs Available For Adoption & Foster Page and see some of our amazing dogs who need homes
