About this shelter

Rocket Dog Rescue in Oakland, CA

Rocket Dog Rescue is a dog rescue organization based in Oakland, California, located in Alameda County alongside 26 other animal shelters and rescues in the county, and situated about 10 miles west of San Francisco. Run by a dedicated group of volunteers, the organization saves dogs from over-crowded shelters throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and works to find them loving, permanent homes. Fosters are central to their program, providing temporary, stable homes that help prepare dogs for adoption, and the organization operates an Urban Sanctuary in Oakland that is open to the public for adoption and foster open houses. Volunteers support the rescue in many ways, from staffing adoption events to working with dogs at the sanctuary and assisting with transport.
