Hi! I'm so happy to tell you that Wonder Dog Rescue will have a booth at Carnaval this weekend.

This is a huge festival, and sunday parade. Carnaval, http://carnavalsanfrancisco.org is the largest CARNAVAL celebration outside of Rio! It brings together local and international musicians, dancers and costume makers... and it's a blast!

Our booth will be on Harrison Street, between 18th and 19th Streets. PLEASE come by... we'll have some dogs there, but this is really an outreach effort, and a celebration of our existence!


Thank You Cole Hardware

IF YOU NEED TO SURRENDER A DOG

Posted Fri, 04/05/2013 - 10:12 by linda

Many people phone and write us weekly, desperate to find a rescue for their dog. We all know that shelters are packed right now, and many MANY amazing animals are euthanized just because they do not have a place to go. Rescue groups are stretched at or beyond their capacity.

There are a few good things that you can do to help get your dog to safety. I hope that the guidelines below will help you.

Hi!
We're so sorry to change at the last minute.... there's a prediction for rain at noon, which would shut down the mobile. So, we are moving it to Petco, located at 2300 16th Street. The cross street is Bryant, and it's in the shopping center. there's TONS of easy parking...

So, come'on down and meet the dogs! You can see a list of the adoptable pups and adult dogs in the "adoptions" section of the web page!

Wonder Dog Rescue is in DESPERATE need of foster homes for dogs in all stages of life - From newborn puppies to seniors looking for a loving place to spend their remaining years...
We receives MANY emails everyday, begging us to take in dogs and puppies who are out of time in their shelters. More often then not we have to turn them down due to a lack of foster homes..


Some SWEET adoptions this weekend!

flash and family
Al and Sue lost their beloved boston just a month ago. She was only 6, and had developed cancer in her mouth. It was an honor to select them to adopt Flash. Sue began to cry a little as they were leaving. I knew that she was thinking of the little girl they lost. I gave her a hug, and told her we were so happy that they wanted Flash. And thus, the circle of life continues

Dasher and His New Wheels!

Posted Wed, 01/16/2013 - 11:26 by linda

We recently received wheels for Dasher, whose spinal disability prevents him from using his back legs fully to walk and run. He's okay without them in the house, but for those big events - the Dog Park or a nice Walk - he needs some support.

We were able to rescue Dasher, to neuter him, have him seen by two veterinary specialists and get these wheels thanks to the kindness of our donors. Thanks, we LOVE YOU!!


Buddy's Life Saved, Thanks to Medical Fund Donors! <3

Friends, there really *are* miracles at Christmas... We had been struggling to keep Buddy alive ... a urinary blockage had him going to the vet at least a half dozen times.... The cathetor did not stay in, and was not 'solving' the problem. Surgery was quoted at $3000.... We did not want to euthanize Buddy, but didnt know what to do.


NO ADOPTION EVENTS THIS WEEKEND ! 12/29 - 12/30 .....HOWEVER.......
