Our Rescue Mission
Stinky Paws Dog Rescue is a small, San Diego-based 501c3 nonprofit, husband-and-wife rescue focused on high-need dogs: those facing long shelter stays, dogs on euthanasia lists, and dogs with medical needs too costly for potential adopters to consider. We step in, cover their treatment, and give them the time and care it takes to get them healthy, stable, and ready for a forever home. Small rescue, big commitment, one Stinky Paw at a time.Â

How We Work
Intake
Step 1
We identify dogs facing long shelter stays, euthanasia lists, or costly medical needs -- we pull them out
Rehab
Step 2
We cover veterinary treatment, medication, and rehabilitation, and foster each dog ourselves
Adopt
Step 3
Once a dog is healthy, stable, and ready, we match them with the right forever home -- that's where you come in!
