A Purposeful Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit that saves dogs from high-kill, Los Angeles area shelters, placing them into foster homes until they are adopted. There are many amazing dogs who get overlooked at shelters, and we give those dogs a second chance. These are the dogs who may not run to the front of their kennel to greet visitors because they’re shy or stressed by shelter life. Maybe they have a treatable medical condition and just need extra care. Whatever the reason, these dogs find themselves overlooked and running out of time. However, once we get these Magical Unicorns out of the shelter and into a loving foster or forever home, they reach their full potential as happy, loving companions!
We strongly believe that we will not adopt our way out of the problem of pet overpopulation which is why we also focus heavily on prevention and community outreach. Primarily focused on South Central Los Angeles, we promote spay and neuter and education. We are completely volunteer run and rely on the hard work and dedication of our volunteers for everything we do. Every dollar you donate will make a difference in the life of a rescue dog, its new family, and our community. Thank you!
