My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO - Nicky's story starts at 6:55 min.
Nicky is an absolute survivor! A homeless man near Skidrow started feeding Nicky when he was already in bad shape. But the homeless man didn't have the means to take Nicky to the vet. He built him an adorable little house made out of a cardboard box and covered with plastic to protect Nicky from the cold and rain. We rushed Nicky to our vet immediately and he was extremely underweight, his skin had sores and scabs all over, he had injured paws and the worst: Nicky had a diaphragmatic hernia. The vet thinks that he had been hit by a car at some point and the hernia kept getting bigger, literally pushing his intestines into his lungs and against his heart. It was a race with time, because Nicky was in such bad condition at first, that he was not a candidate for surgery. But Nicky has a strong will to live and he is a super nice cat! He purrs immediately when you start petting him. He's a quiet guy and loves to eat. With proper TLC and medication, Nicky started to gain weight and his skin cleared up. Just in time for his life saving surgery. Nicky received the operation to repair the hernia at one of the best hospitals in Los Angeles. He's an absolute miracle cat! Nicky is recovering extremely well from the surgery and indulges in eating his favorite foods. Nicky is about 6 years old, so he's fairly young for a cat. He is FIV+ but Leukemia Negative. Nicky could be in a home with another cat or as the only kitty. He's a very patient, loving handsome guy! Nicky would love to have his own home where he would be loved and he could make up for the time of neglect in the streets. Will you make Nicky happy?!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step of our adoption process is submitting an application. Once this is received, then we will give you a call to talk to you about the dog(s) you may be interested in and any questions you may have.

Filling this out helps us get to know more about you, and what kind of dog will be best for your situation!


You will find our adoption application on our website: http://www.pcdogrescue.org/adoptions.html

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We typically show our dogs to potential adopters after receiving the online adoption application. We show dogs 7 days a week by appointment.

More about this rescue

Our rescue and sanctuary facility is located within driving distance to Georgetown and is always at capacity due to the high number of unwanted dogs and the limited number of great homes.
The dogs at Pacific Coast Dog Rescue have many stories to tell. They were abandoned on the streets, dumped at the local government shelters, tied up in backyards and left to die, given to us by Animal Control as former cruelty case evidence dogs, the list goes on. Even with proper socialization and training at our facility, it sometimes, takes the dogs a long time to "wake up" and enjoy life again.
Our staff has dedicated their love, time and efforts to create the best environment possible for each dog, so that the dogs are ready for you, to give them a loving, permanent home.
We are one of the few rescue organizations, who have an experienced dog trainer on site, our founder David Roe. Please visit our training website at www.bluedogranchtraining.com
Despite increased spay/neuter efforts through government and private programs, dog and cat overpopulation causes 6 - 8 million companion animals to be killed in government shelters EVERY YEAR in the United States. Of this figure, more than 25% are purebred animals.
So far, we have saved over 3000 dogs but we need your support.
It often takes months and even years to place a dog into an appropriate home, which means, that we incur high costs for the care of the dogs.
Even if you are not in the position to adopt a dog right now, you can help us in many ways: You can make a monetary tax-deductible donation to help us with our extremely high vet bills and the basic care such as food, living quarters and bedding for our dogs. You are welcome to drop off blankets, toys and treats. Please look on our website under "Ways To Help" for more options to be of assistance.
Pacific Coast dog Rescue strives to ensure, the most careful and appropriate placement for our dogs into loving homes. The adoption donation for all of our dogs is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to adoption. Many have received professional training before placement.
Through a careful screening process, we make the best possible choice for our dogs to place them with compassionate individuals and families. We often take a bit longer than other rescues organization to place our dogs but we also have very few returns. We do, however always take our dogs back (even years later), if the adopter can't keep the dog.
Pacific Coast Dog Rescue offers a life-long commitment to our dogs and adopters and we are always there to answer any questions and offer training advice/help.
If you have found a dog, or have a dog that needs a new home, please check our Outreach Program.
