Accomplishments:
- Fifty foster homes in the San Francisco Bay Area
- 1,900 dogs and other animals saved
Profile: Rocket Dog Rescue places nonaggressive dogs into temporary foster homes where they are socialized, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions which would otherwise limit their adoptability. The group actively seeks out permanent quality homes for these deserving animals through its volunteer network, online adoption page, weekly adoption page, and neighborhood poster campaigns.
