Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to finding new and loving homes for abandoned or homeless Dalmatians. Dal Rescue was formed to help rescue Dalmatians and Dalmatian mixes from the many high-kill shelters in the Southern California area, and serves the communities of Orange, San Diego, Riverside and Los Angeles counties. Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California, Inc. is dedicated to saving as many of the spotty dogs as it can. Dalmatian Rescue is committed to finding loving forever homes, a second chance, for all of the dogs we rescue, and with the help of Dal Rescue volunteers, provides a safe, warm and loving environment for each of the rescued dogs as they await their new homes. Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California, Inc. is an all-volunteer, no-kill, non-profit organization. In addition to rescuing adoptable Dalmatians from the local shelters, our goal and mission is to educate the public about Dalmatians, their personality, activity level, lifespan and health and fitness issues, as well as what it means to be a responsible dog owner. We advocate spaying and neutering, consistent training, a healthy diet and plenty of exercise for the Dalmatian, as well as for all breeds of dog, and provide education on those topics. We do our best to match each family with the Dalmatian or Dalmatian mix that will best suit the family environment, activity level and participants. Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California, Inc. is organized as a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity and all contributions are tax-deductible. Our taxpayer Id# is 35-2313871.
Whenever possible, we recommend that all of the members of the prospective adoptive family and their dog(s) come to meet the Dal or Dals they are interested at the kennel facilities, and spend time interacting with the dog before committing to any particular dog. Each adoptive family must complete an adoption questionnaire and be willing to submit to a home inspection, both pre- and post-adoption. Once approved, the adoption fee ranges from $250-450, and each dog is spayed or neutered, and has its current rabies and other vaccinations and is typically micro-chipped. While we generally adopt to families located in the Southern California area, we are happy to work with an out-of-town family in arranging an adoption, with the understanding that all costs of transportation and travel are to be paid for by the adopting family. Other special requirements, such as photos of your home and property and a letter from the family vet, may be required in the event of an out-of-town adoption.
