RESCUE

Saving SPOT! Dog Rescue is a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from Los Angeles county and city shelters.

Rescued animals are safely sheltered and cared for until we find their forever home through an application process. All rescued animals are immediately examined by our veterinarian (Dr. Tania White), micro-chipped, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered if age appropriate.

We rely solely on adoption fees and your generous tax deductible donations to fund our rescue and rehabilitation efforts. None of the owners nor employees of SPOT! benefit financially from our rescue dogs. We rescue dogs to give back to our local community and because of our true love of animals. We hope that by giving back in return you will shop at SPOT!, your local pet boutique.

If you are unable to adopt a dog, please consider making a tax deductible donation to Saving SPOT! Dog Rescue. Your donation will help defray the cost of surgery and other medical costs for rescue dogs, allowing us to rescues injured or abused dogs who would otherwise be destroyed.

REHABILITATION

All Saving SPOT! dogs are cared for and sheltered by the entire SPOT! team. With professional grooming, good health and nutrition, exercise, socialization, training, veterinary care, and good old fashioned TLC each SPOT! rescue dog is treated as one of our own. We work closely with our veterinary partners, trainers, healers and volunteers to assure all our dogs health and emotional needs are met.

Each SPOT! rescue dog is given a full physical examination by our veterinarian Dr. Tania White Hancock Park Animal Hospital (323) 936-6952. Our dogs are fully vaccinated and spayed/neutered (as age appropriate), microchipped, given 14 days of antibiotics, treated for worms and fleas, tested for parvo and giardia and given a complete physical exam.

SPOT! rescues are temperament and behavior tested by our certified trainer Doribeth Elkins Pooch Professor (323) 842-8446. Doribeth works with each of the SPOT! rescues on a daily basis working out issues and teaching them basic obedience.

SPOT! rescues are assessed by our Healer Gabriela Castillo in an effort to work out any issues of abuse or mistrust. Gabriella Castillo (323) 828-5964.

Every SPOT! rescue is given a full grooming by our in house award winning groomer Jennifer Guidone.

ADOPTION

Each family that wants to adopt a SPOT! rescue is fully vetted and approved by the rescue organizers. Because we feel that each and every one of our dogs is an individual we require that an application be filled out for the specific dog that you or your family connect with. Although our dogs can be seen on facebook we want your entire family to meet the dog and be a part of the adoption process. Once an application is submitted on a dog it is reviewed and the prospective family is interviewed by someone on the Saving SPOT! team. If the application is approved we let the new parents know as soon as possible. Because we interact with the rescues daily and they live with us we feel we know them very well and are able to assess in what environment they will thrive. We are truly looking for the best possible home for each and every one of our rescue dogs.

Once an application is approved the new parent/ family comes to the store to sign a contract promising to provide and care for their newly adopted family member. They receive a complete packet with everything they need to know about their new pet and numerous other related resources. At SPOT! pet boutique we have everything you could possibly need for your new baby and hope that you will purchase those items from SPOT! because every dollar spent at SPOT! contributes to our rescue efforts.

The adoption fee for all dogs is $450. This includes all of their medical needs up to date including any antibiotics, dewormers, or other medications they may currently be taking, a bag of the food they are eating, a free examination with our veterinarian Dr. White, discounts on daycare and boarding, as well as various other discounts and access to services. We want each and everyone of our adoptions to be a success so we are always here for you.
