Go Dog Safe Paws is an all-breed rescue with the goal of saving dogs whose days at the shelter are numbered and are at greatest risk for euthanasia. They are dogs who have been red-listed, often simply because there is just no room for them at the shelter. Due to the high number of dogs (literally thousands) who are in this situation, Safe Paws focuses on rescuing those in need from the shelter, and does not take in owner surrenders. While some of those we rescue come with training and shake your hand upon meeting you, others are frightened and perhaps too nervous even to say ‘hello.’ They may not be fluffy and clean and ready to curl up in your lap, but they deserve a chance just as any dog does! Our jobs don’t end at simply pulling a dog out of the shelter, however! The health, safety and well-being of every single dog in our care is a number one priority. It is pretty much guaranteed that any dog, when first removed from an animal shelter, will be sick. This is why we immediately seek proper veterinary care for each and every dog we rescue. We want to ensure they are treated for any underlying medical issues and receive preventive treatment for their overall wellbeing. A healthy dog is a happier dog! Go Dog Safe Paws was founded in 2013 by a dedicated 13-year veteran of the Los Angeles rescue community. Her experience led her to discover that every year, well over one hundred thousand pets in LA County alone end up in animal shelters, due simply to overpopulation. Thousands of dogs who were once outgoing, fun-loving, happy dogs end up fearful, alone and, far too often, euthanized. There simply are not enough homes for them all and yet hundreds more are being born every day. Because of this, Beth has worked to rescue many dogs and cats over the years, vetting and caring for them, and adopting them into loving forever homes.
