New Beginnings for Animals

Animal rescue in Mission Viejo, CA

We are a no-kill rescue group in Southern California. Our primary focus is rescuing animals from local high-kill shelters. We then either board them or place them in foster homes so we can better assess their personalities before placing them in loving homes. All our animals are examined by our veterinarians, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, FELV/FIV tested if they are cats, flea treated and dewormed if needed.

Most of these animals have been through so much and we want to make their transition as smooth as possible. Please visit our website: www.greatpets.org for our adoptable dogs and cats, how to meet them, our adoption & foster applications, adoption events, and much more.
