Our Mission

To provide emergency veterinary care to shelter dogs and cats in San Diego County who have exhausted all other opportunities for lifesaving treatment, and then place them in permanent homes.

All animals must be admitted through a San Diego County Animal Shelter. No owner relinquished or “found” or stray animals will be accepted. Preferential consideration will be given to animals whose exit has been requested by a San Diego County Animal Shelter.

Please save a dog or cat’s life today with your generous tax-deductible donation. We are an all-volunteer organization. Your entire donation goes directly and immediately to save an animal's life.
