Animal Rescue
Organization
Gus was turned into a shelter by his owner for euthanasia due to severe skin issues. Gus was on the table moments from euthanasia but luckily, the shelter was able to get a release from the owner and contacted us. We saved sweet Gus and got him straight to Dr. Kirby (our savior) at Animal Dermatology Clinic where it was discovered he had MRSA so typical antibiotics were ineffective. We got him on the right medications, along with medicated baths, allergy immunotherapy and a prescription diet, and now he is looking great, but he requires a lot of care and expensive ongoing medications. We continually need donations to help with Gus's ongoing care. He is one expensive boy but he is happy!

About Our Rescue Group
Smooch Pooch Dog Rescue is foster based animal rescue operating in the Los Angeles, California area. We are a state and federal registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is 100% volunteer based. We are not a shelter, we are a private rescue organization that rescues all breed dogs and other animals from various unfortunate situations. We do not have a facility or operating hours. All of our dogs are in private foster homes and we show our dogs by appointment. We ask that you kindly complete an adoption application prior to coming to meet the dog(s) you are interested in. We typically DO NOT adopt out of the Southern California area. This is because many of the dogs we rescue are medical needs and we do not want to put more stress on them by transporting them on long trips. We also require a home visit prior to adoption and if a home does not work out, we require that they be returned to us.
Sadly, hundreds of dogs are euthanized daily at shelters across the country. A very plain and simple fact is that humans have caused the euthanasia rate to spike out of control at the shelters due to not sterilizing their pets and/or irresponsible breeding. Smooch Pooch rescues dogs from our local high kill shelters, many of them the day they are to be euthanized and gives them another chance at life. We rehabilitate these animals so they can live a happy and healthy life in their new homes. We also rescue strays, owner surrenders and abandoned animals. We prefer to rescue animals that are in danger of euthanasia at our local shelters as they are the most in need.
Please adopt your next dog instead of purchasing one. There are too many homeless dogs including pure breeds that need your love! If you are unable to adopt, please consider donating or fostering.
Because we are a nonprofit organization, your donation is tax deductible! We are always in need of donations which will help with our animals' medical attention, medicine, boarding fees, food, and supplies. Please clink on the DONATE button above to help the animals in our organization.
