Recycled Dogs are Our Specialty
You will soon find out that Dog Town Canine Rescue is NOT your ordinary dog rescue... We are a very active, hands-on type of organization, and we have volunteers who enjoy truly making a difference in the lives of unwanted dogs. We are not afraid to be outspoken or controversial. We are not afraid to stand up for what is right. 
 
We maintain a list of adoptable dogs on our Petfinder website, and also have dogs listed on Pets911.com and 1-800-Save-a-Pet.com:  To see all of our available dogs click here: www.dogtown.petfinder.com 
 
 
We also have two online stores where you may purchase our customized merchandise: www.cafepress.com/dogtownrescue and www.zazzle.com/dogtownrescue.
Here at Dog Town, it's all about the dogs! We have fun with our dogs, we cry over them, we rejoice when they find a "forever home" and we're forever trying to come up with ways to make their world a better place. 

Remember, these dogs have lost their homes and families. Their entire worlds have been turned upside down beyond their capacity to understand, and most will require some time to adjust. Please have realistic expectations for them.
If you have the patience and compassion it may take to change the life of a rescued dog, you will be rewarded with a lifetime of love and gratitude unequalled by any other species. But if you cannot make the COMMITMENT to work with this dog and to be a wise and compassionate guardian, we respectfully request that you do not adopt from us. (copyrighted by Lorayn Walser) 
"REAL DOGS FOR REAL PEOPLE"

If you are looking for a dog who won't bark, jump,
dig, chew, shed hair, has perfect manners and is
100% housebroken, may we suggest the stuffed
animal aisle at Toys r Us.
 
Our rescued dogs are not perfect. Some of the dogs you are seeing today were abandoned, abused, starved, shot, hit by cars, or simply neglected by the humans they had once trusted.
 
A rescued dog can bring a lifetime of love and devotion, but can also require extra effort on your part. Some dogs will need a gentle hand with housebreaking, or learning that they no longer have to fight for their food. After being
abandoned, some may have separation issues, and
may need help to feel secure again. 
Can't foster or adopt but still want to help? It's easy and safe and you can donate right here with this button by using PayPal. It is a free service and your tax deductible donation will help Dog Town continue saving lives and making a difference in the community.
TRIBUTE TO A DOG... SENATOR GEORGE VEST
 
It is from a speech made in 1870, when a man's dog, a foxhound named Drum was shot. His owner sued the man who shot Drum. There was no evidence even, but after he finished his speech, the jury was in tears. They fined the man $500, even though the maximum fine was $150.
 
It is claimed that George Vest was a 19th century lawyer defending a client.
 
Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son and daughter that he has reared with loving care may become ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him when he may need it most. Man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees and do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our head.
 
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his DOG. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground,where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the cold, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him against danger, and to fight against his enemies. When the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.
 
-Senator George Vest, 1870.

 On July 7th, we received the following email from a volunteer with Dogs Deserve Better:

"Here she is... She is a 10 month old lab/pit mix. Here is her story ((brief version).

I received a call from a Probation Officer from San Bernardino County. She explained that she found a dog living in a small and dirty crate (full of feces and urine) in a back room when she did a home visit on one of her cases. She knew she is was in bad shape and asked could Dogs Deserve Better take her in. Of course we did... When we picked her up, Pandora had a recent stab wound to her neck and was in bad shape. Her demodex mange was so bad that it caused a severe skin infection. She was shy, nervous and very scared. She had no idea what being outside of her crate was like and what it was like to feel grass. When I first walked her on grass, she kept jumping up as if she didn't like the feel.. She is on her 2nd round of medication and antibiotics for her demodex and is healing nicely and her hair is growing back. "

















"She is a total different dog from the first day we got her. She is super dog and children friendly and loves to play and run with other dogs. She loves squeekly toys (this took awhile) and she loves to give snuggles and wet kisses. She is an amazing girl. She is so grateful for being saved and shown a real life. She walks great on leash and is almost 100% potty trained. She does have a little seperation anxiety but will only cry for a bit and then calms down. She is affraid of cars and loud noises, she will try and sit on your lap when you drive, I sit her in passanger seat and this seems to help. She hasn't experienced many things so some things make her nervous. A few we notcied is, birds, squirels, cats, yard orniments and other similiar things. She has just gotten use to being a free dog and has taken this time to explore the outside.. She is so happy and just needs a little reassurance that these things will not harm her.

It has been such an amazing ecpereince to see her transform into a somewhat "normal" pup. Her story is heart breaking but she shows you how grateful she is to have been saved from that horrible life.
Thank you guys so much for stepping in and helping Pandora. I am going to miss her so much."

Pandora's former owners are now in a mental institution and in juvenile hall. Sweet girl, nobody will ever hurt you again.
