Rescue | Recycle | Renew

Today the SFSPCA had an adoption fair where various rescue organizations came together to help find some of their rescue animals loving homes or temporary foster care. It also educated on recycling and a 'second chance sale" of new or gently used pet toys, supplies and bric-a-brac.



King Pidgeons, rescued from animal shelters throughout the Bay Area, make great pets. They're sweet, smart, calm & full of personality but, because people aren't aware of them, they often can't find good homes. Kings are domestic pigeons bred to be eaten as "squab" but some escape or are set free. Kings can't survive in the wild and the lucky ones end up in shelters but they are at high risk of euthanasia if not adopted into permanent homes.

Save a bunny. Rescue, foster, education and adoption center for rabbits in the San Francisco Bay area. Spayed and neutered rabbits available for adoption to indoor homes.

Companion rabbits are the third most frequently euthanized animals at shelters, behind cats and dogs. While many shelter rabbits come from feed stores, flea markets, or laboratories, in reality, most rabbits facing euthanasia were once family companions or classroom pets who were bought at pet stores or breeders and surrendered to shelters when the novelty wore off or at the conclusion of a school year. Many people mistakenly assume that rabbits are low-maintenance or good starter pets for children, rather than physically fragile, yet spirited and opinionated animals who require specialized care and several hours of attention and exercise each day.

Phoenix - This brave & loving bunny was tortured and set on fire. He came to SaveABunny for treatment of his physical & emotional wounds. He is now healed and happy!

SaveABunny is often the only resource for rabbits facing euthanasia at shelters. These rabbits include highly adoptable rabbits who have “run out of time,” those deemed “unadoptable” because they have health or behavioral issues, and special-needs rabbits requiring surgery or specialized medical attention resulting from trauma, neglect, or abuse. Once a rabbit enters SaveABunny, he or she will never “run out of time” and will always have a home as a foster until adopted.

Muttville's mission is to help senior dogs through foster, education, and rescue. Because every dog needs a happy ending.

Rocket Dog Rescue was there as well. Rocket Dog Rescue is a San Francisco Bay Area dog rescue organization run by a group of dedicated volunteers. They save dogs from death at over-crowded shelters and find them loving, happy homes. Now into their sixth year, RDR is stronger than ever, and have saved the lives of over 1,900 animals! Their motto: "Leave no dog behind".

The Golden State Greyhound Adoption is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that places retired racing greyhounds in adoptive homes in Northern California, including the San Francisco Bay Area, greater Sacramento area and beyond. Their ex-racing greyhounds come primarily from Colorado racetracks, although they also help rescue dogs from Arizona and Mexico. When racing greyhounds are deemed no longer profitable–either because they aren’t winners or have sustai ned an injury–kennels often try to adopt out these dogs, but sadly, many are destroyed, often before they reach the age of four or five.
