My name is
Elvira!

Our goal is to find good, permanent homes for our rescued dogs and cats where the new owner will be able to care for the animal for its lifetime (15-20 years). We do not want our rescued animals to end up in a bad situation ever again. We are looking for adopters who want to adopt a rescued animal and give it a second chance at a good home and happy life. New homes will be determined based on the potential new home and the best interest of the dog or cat. In order for the adoption to be successful, we take into consideration whether the pet is a good match for the new guardian, his/her lifestyle and home environment. If interested in meeting one of our available pets, we arrange a day/time to meet the pet, and, then, if the person is interested in adopting the pet, we require an application and adoption contract to be completed. A nominal adoption fee is requested to help reimburse for a portion of expenses of rescue and rehabilitation. We deliver the animal to its new home so that we can see where the animal will be living and to get an idea of how it will get along in its new home. We follow-up to inquire how the adoption is going.

Animals are shown by appointment.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING AND/OR TAKING IN NEW RESCUED PETS. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL TAKING CARE OF THE MANY PETS WE NOW HAVE IN OUR CARE. WE ARE FINDING HOMES FOR THE ADOPTABLE PETS AND WILL TAKE CARE OF AND PROVIDE A LOVING HOME FOR THESE REMAINING PETS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THEIR LIFETIMES.

"We are the little rescue that could.........help animals, one animal at a time." Rescue and Rehome is an official 501(c)3 tax exempt organization/public charity. Contributions and donations are tax deductible. Our small private no-kill rescue is a CA nonprofit public benefit corporation dedicated to rescuing homeless and needy dogs and cats. Our goal is to find good, permanent homes for our rescued animals so that they never end up in a bad situation ever again. We are a foster group-type rescue that does not have a physical location for a shelter. Space and finances are limited. Our animals live in a home environment. We take in as many animals as we can reasonably and financially accommodate and find new, loving, permanent homes for them. If a new home cannot be found, we care for the animal for the remainder of its lifetime. All of our rescued animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, etc. and receive any needed veterinary care. Many rescued animals are sick or injured and require expensive veterinary care. In addition to veterinary care, there are many expenses involved in running a rescue, including quality food, supplies and gasoline. As a nonprofit business, our goal is to operate in the black and increase fundraising. We depend on donations in order to continue our efforts on behalf of needy and homeless animals. We receive no outside funding and all expenses are out-of-pocket except for any adoption fees we collect and/or donations we receive. We are thankful and grateful for those who donate their time, hard-earned cash and items we use on a regular basis. We appreciate those who send monthly checks and make regular monetary donations in support of our efforts. We cannot do it without you. We ask those who are able to please consider donating on a regular basis and/or contribute something on our wish list for our four-legged friends. Monetary donations may be made by check or via paypal using our email address of rescuenrehome@gmail.com. Follow us and "like" us on facebook at www.facebook.com/rescueqv.

The public is aware that the local shelters are high kill and, therefore, they turn to private rescues with requests to take in their animals. We are overwhelmed and usually full because the fact is that the number of rescued animals taken in always exceeds the number of animals adopted out. In addition we have a number of animals that are less desirable and hard-to-place, such as ill or senior, that likely will remain here for the remainder of their lives. It takes time, maybe months or even years, to find a new home for a rescued dog or cat and sometimes they never find another home.
