Services
You can meet any of our dogs by appointment or at our next mobile adoption event on Interested in applying or learning more about one of our dogs? Little Fanta has simple needs, to feel safe and comfy. Fanta is a timid dog who takes a while to warm up but once she does she loves nothing more than to be right by your side.
All Rover Rescue dogs are boarded or placed in foster homes until permanent, loving homes are found. The dogs are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and given any necessary medical treatment during this time period. Each prospective owner fills out an adoption application. All applicants must live in the Southern California area, and we ask that children in your home are at least five years old. We usually have no history of our rescue dogs and are therefore very careful about placing them in households with children.
Foster parents provide temporary homes for our rescues and give us valuable information needed to find the right match. Volunteers help transport dogs to and from adoption events, vet visits, shelter pick ups, and grooming appointments. Dogs from animal shelters are often amazing escape artists. Volunteers can help point out escape routes and possible safety issues to potential adopters.
These compassionate dog lovers open their hearts and their homes to provide temporary shelter for our homeless canines. Through their kindness and generosity, we gain valuable time and the insight we need to place each dog in the perfect, permanent home. Foster parents provide security, love, companionship and the nurturing home environment that all dogs need to fully blossom.

We adopted a dog from Rover Rescue a few months ago and were assured she was spayed. We found out that she was not spayed and when we contacted the rescue they tried to deny any knowledge of this. We went over to the Carson shelter where they told us they rescued her from originally and got paperwork showing that she was not spayed and that the rescue was aware of this.
This paperwork was also ripped out of the packet of papers the rescue gave us when we adopted her. Our dog was adopted out to a family before us and they returned her, meaning she was adopted twice without being spayed. The rescue required us to take her to their vet to be spayed and were not helpful at all in facilitating this, despite this whole mess being their error.
This was a disappointing experience, but overall we are happy to provide our dog with a loving home. She is laying in her bed recovering from her surgery, but this should have been done before she was ever adopted out to anyone.
