Some photos say it all, but this one comes with a special message: Dina is searching for her forever home. 🏡💖

She’s been passed over time and time again, and it’s hard to understand why. Sure, she’s not a fan of other dogs, but plenty aren’t—and Dina has so much love to give. 🐶❤️

She’s been with us for over a year, and I can promise you, she’s amazing. Dina adores people, loves to give and receive affection, and her brindle coat absolutely glows in the sunlight. 🌟

We know the right person is out there for her. If that’s you, don’t wait—Dina is ready to meet you! And if not, please share her story so we can find the loving home she deserves. 🐾✨

Tommy, our lovable bull terrier, has been with us for over a year, and it's heartbreaking because he’s truly an incredible dog. He came to us at just one year old, meaning most of his life has been spent in rescue – and that’s just not fair. Tommy is full of adventure during the day, always ready to explore, but when bedtime rolls around, he transforms into the ultimate cuddle buddy. He’s been waiting far too long for his forever home, and we know the perfect family is out there. Could it be you?

✨ Meet Ivory – The Sweetest Soul Waiting for Her Forever Home ✨

If you've been part of our journey, you already know this precious girl. But for those just joining us – let me introduce you to Ivory, our beautiful Bull Terrier who has filled our hearts for over a year now. 🐾❤️

Ivory is pure love wrapped in fur – she adores snuggles, thrives on affection, and lights up when she’s outside bouncing around or on long, happy walks. Her joy is infectious, and being by her side has been nothing short of magical.

But as much as she’s loved here, rescue is just a stop on her journey. Ivory deserves a family to call her own – a place where she can give and receive endless love every day.

Could you be the one to give her that happy ending? Let’s make Ivory’s forever home dream come true. 🏡💕 PLEASE SHARE🙏

🚨 Second Chance Spotlight 🚨

Who remembers Alvin? 🐶 When he first came to us, he was in terrible shape—so much so that we weren’t sure if he’d ever walk properly again after the trauma he endured. 😔 Fast forward to today, and you’d never know it! Alvin is now living his best life with a loving family who adores him. ❤️

Fun fact: Alvin was our very first social media fundraiser! 🙌 His story is such a powerful reminder of what we can do when we come together to give these dogs a second chance at life.

We’re excited for a big 2025 and can’t wait to share more of these incredible transformations with you! 🐾

HOPE'S ADOPTION - Hope entered our Rescue on June 18, 2022. She is now close to 10yrs old. She lived at the ranch for a while and then moved back to our facility. She has finally gone to her forever home with the Tenney family in Santa Barbara. She finally gets to be in a home of her own. Thank you so much for giving this girl a home.
Sadly we have others that have been here over a year that live their lives day in and out in their kennel waiting for their forever home like HOPE. Yes not the best life for them, but they are safe from euthanasia, fed and provided love and attention by the volunteers and staff.

MEET MAMAS- Owner surrender brought in on Tuesday. She was on our waiting list for 2 months. She is a sweet well mannered girl, 2 yrs old and weighs 44lbs. Reason is mom said son wasn't spending enough time with her so she had to go. Very emotional day for son when he brought her in, he had her since a puppy. People dont realize when they say that they dont have enough time for them that in reality the dog is better at their own home, maybe with not a ton of time to spend with them than in a rescue environment, waiting for volunteers or staff to take them out, a pretty lonely life for them. We do the best we can but not the same as a home. Some of these dogs are with us for years waiting for a home. Very sad for all #foreverhomeneeded #sweetbullterrier #adoptABull #bullterrierlovers californiapawsrescue.org

LOOK AT THIS PERFECT LITTLE EGG HEAD! This is Graham that we rescued from Seacca shelter last week,on euthanasia list I don’t know how any of these great dogs end up in the shelter but this one he is almost a mini. He’s very small and very well behaved, crate trained likes to sleep late in the morning. Estimated around six years old. He had kennel, cough that’s gone , but will be up for adoption after his neuter next Tuesday. Hes dog friendly and was kenneled with another dog in the shelter. He’s just very mild and easy-going. I’m sure this one won’t be with us very long if you’re interested please fill out an application Californiapawsrescue.org. #SecondChances #bullterrierlove #foreverhomeneeded #adorabull

Our Story

About California Paws Rescue As a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, California Paws Rescue is a volunteer driven, donation supported dog rescue. Our success is dependent upon loyal friends and donors who lend their names and make donations to support our mission. The money we raise each year will go towards the rescue, medical expenses, care and housing of abandoned dogs waiting for a new forever family to adopt them. Our Dogs At any one time, we will have the capacity to house 10-12 dogs. Many of these dogs have been rescued from the euthanasia list of extremely overburdened Animal Control Services. Every dog will reside at CPR until adopted into a loving, permanent home. Vital socialization opportunities will be provided to all dogs, to get them ready for their new home. CPR will ensure that every dog rescued will receive immediate, quality medical care. The moment they reach our doors, each dog will be given a complete physical examination in our clinic. Each dog will be sprayed / neutered, given all necessary vaccinations and will receive any additional care needed to place them on their road to health and happiness. CPR will give additional attention to the rescue of a dog with special needs, i.e. dogs that are blind, have an amputated limb, diabetic, etc. Those of us who live with a special needs dog know what a wonderful companion they can be. Unfortunately, these special dogs are often abandoned or surrendered, then euthanized because of the shortage of space and/or budgets. Donations to the California Paws Rescue will enable us to rescue a special needs dog, provide proper medical care and house them until a special home is found. If a qualified home is not found, we will give them a place to live out their lives with dignity and love. California Paws Rescue is located within Barkingham Pet Hotel California in Palm Desert, CA.
