The Dog Shack is a rescue located in Northern California (Marin, CA area). Whoo hoo!
Dog Shack was founded in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when we flew from the Bay Area to New Orleans to rescue as many abandoned animals as possible. We spent several weeks rescuing pets out of flooded homes and destroyed neighborhoods while the designated authorities were in gridlock with themselves! Many compassionate individuals from all over dropped whatever we were doing and showed up o
n a day's notice and did what they could, in spite of "martial law” and fear-instilling stories. After that experience, Dog Shack arranged for 14 dogs who almost lost their lives in shelters to get transported back here to the Bay Area where they received the veterinary care they needed and got a new lease on life in loving homes. Now, Dog Shack provides emergency shelter and temporary foster homes for those dogs who (certainly by no fault of their own!) ended up on death row in rural Northern California kill shelters. We are an all-volunteer group, and we do this necessary work on our on time and our own dime. We implore you to consider adoption instead of buying your next dog and give these sweet rescues a second chance at life. We are counting on you to choose one of these wagging nature beings for your life-long loyal, fun, and stress-reducing companion! Or, if you are not up for the long haul, you can still have a very rewarding experience as a foster parent, where you can practice non-attachment and selfless love by sharing your home and love with a furry angel temporarily while we, with your input, of course, locate his or her forever home!
