Dogma Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer based organization serving Sonoma, Napa, and Marin Counties.
Dogma Animal Rescue is based in Sebastopol, California, and focuses on saving pregnant and nursing dogs from overcrowded animal control facilities throughout California. We are dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from overcrowded animal control facilities throughout the State of California. We especially focus on pregnant dogs that are in danger of abuse, neglect, or euthanasia. Dogma
Animal Rescue places dogs into temporary foster homes where they are socialized, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions limiting their adoptability. We actively search for permanent homes for foster dogs by producing and hosting mobile adoption events and other special events that provide exposure to potential adopters. In practicality, we are just a handful of dedicated animal-loving volunteers who rescue animals from a variety of sources - from county shelters, persons finding litters on their property or sadly abandoned on streets and near businesses. Often we stay up nights bottle feeding puppies, nursing sick or injured animals, or making trips to the emergency vet. We have no physical address for our organization - we all foster animals in our homes. We are NOT a public shelter – we typically can't help people who need to find homes for their animals. Our purpose is to literally save lives by help animals on the brink of death - animals scheduled for euthanasia due to overcrowding, or abandoned or orphaned animals.

Since they opened earlier this year we have been stopping by Sarmentine bakery in the Sebastopol Barlow to pick up coffee and bakery items. Usually myself or a volunteer arrives close to opening with a foster dog in tow and have never had a problem. Today our visit was closer to lunchtime. After all the bicyclists were finished petting and visiting Penny, pictured, we got in line to place a to go order. A woman I've never seen before asked if Penny was a service dog and we answered "no, she's a 16 year old deaf dog". She told us dogs weren't allowed in the shop. Every other time we've placed a to go order no one has ever had a problem with a leashed, well behaved dog standing by their owners feet. This is Sonoma County, how odd is it that a business wouldn't be dog friendly? County codes or not, how often have you visited a cafe type environment where they didn't allow this to happen?
The solution is easy enough. I occasionally purchase breakfast pastries for our rescue volunteers when we do our adoption events at our offices in the Barlow. We will no longer use Sarmentine. You know who does allow well behaved dogs on leash inside their business? Taylor Lane Coffee and Patisserie Angelica. If you're one of our 20,000+ Sonoma County followers we recommend visiting Taylor Lane Coffee and Patisserie Angelica, who really has the better pastries but opens later, for your coffee and baked goods.
Sarmentine Bakery, your passion fruit tart is amazing. The attitude of your employee less so.
These handsome boys are 13 weeks old and happy, healthy puppies ready for their forever homes. They're about 10 pounds of friendly fluff. We anticipate them to be about 45 pounds at maturity.

Pumpkin is a joy to have around. She goes with her foster to work and is friendly to her coworkers. She's easy to train, because she's food motivated. Not only that, but she's eager to please. Pumpkin can be a bit shy at first with new people, but warms up quickly. She walks well on a leash and loves to jump on a lap for kisses. She sleeps soundly all night at the foot of the bed.

What a fantastic update! We rescued these two Standard Phantom Poodles 5 years ago in 2019. We recently received an update and picture from one of the adopters.
"I was going through and deleting my facebook "saved" and ran across this sad, sad post... I thought I would provide a HAPPY UPDATE!
There were actually two of them...we went to adopt one but we were asked if we could possibly take them both until their spay appointments (another person had already paid the adoption fees for one but lived much further away) and since we lived closer, it was just easier for us to bring them both in for their spay appointments that were scheduled in 2 weeks and afterwards, she would pick up her std poodle and we would take ours. We brought them both home but that evening noticed one of them had kennel cough, so we called the rescue and brought them back to the rescue's vet the next day and got them their meds but this pushed out their spay appointments by a couple of weeks, which was now 4 weeks away. Springing forward, now we've had them both for 4 weeks, we contacted the rescue to let them know that we believe one is the mother of the other one. They are so bonded! The younger one has lived her whole life with her mom, these are not very young dogs, they are older. How we separate them now, they have been through so much just in these past few months! The rescue ! Mind you, we've always been standard poodle people and we had one at home but we also had 2 Chinese Cresteds but after seeing this post, we knew we could give one of them a fantastic home but 2 more standard poodles, that's 5 dogs we would have! Well, we named them Lilah and Phantom and here they are with our white standard Echo! We kept them together for 3 months but gave Phantom (who now is Ruthie the mom of Lilah) to our very good friend and neighbor. Ruthie is at our house regularly, like a few days a week and spends the night here regularly too! In fact, she's here now! So here they are still together regularly, living their very best lives and both of our family's got the best standard poodles ever!"
Fosters needed
We have 9(!) adorable, fluffy Jack Russell looking Terrier puppies needing Sonoma County foster homes. We can break these puppies up into 2 or 3 groups but we will not send single puppies to a foster home. At this age we keep them together as long as possible. If you can help care for these babies until they find their forever homes please please email us at the address below. Dogma covers all supplies and medical care at our vet hospital in Sebastopol, fosters provide a structured home environment and transportation to any adoption events and medical appointments. Check out the video in the comments.
We do not have possession of these fluffs yet and because of that we will not respond to any adoption inquiries for them. First we find fosters, then we will talk about potential adoptions.

Rascal desperately needs a new name because he's the farthest thing from a rascal. He's a friendly, sweet, happy dog who is easy as they come. He doesn't bark, greets other dogs with confidence and manners and loves his people. He walks well on a leash and absolutely loves the car. He settled in immediately to his foster home with 5 teenagers, 3 other resident dogs, 1 other foster dog and 3 cats. He hardly cares about the cats and loves to play with the large and small dogs. He isn't nervous when the rambunctious teens play in the pool and is happy to hang out in the backyard or inside when left alone.
Come meet Rascal and all available dogs at the adoption event on Saturday, June 22nd from 11-2 pm at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, 6742 Sebastopol Ave in Sebastopol. Park on nearby streets or at the Barlow. Find an application at dogmaanimalrescue.org and email it to [email protected].
Foster needed!
I posted these guys on Wednesday and haven't had one foster offer. Not one inquiry. This family became homeless on Thursday and are in need of a safe home to stay until they can find their forever homes. We can separate the parents from the puppies. If we can't find fosters for dogs, we can't rescue dogs. If you live in Sonoma County and can take these little dogs into your home please email us right away. They are currently staying in our basement.

Want a makeover? How about Freckles, Whiskers or Eyebrows to enhance your look?
These handsome boys are 10 weeks old and happy, healthy puppies ready for their forever homes. They're about 4 pounds of friendly fluff. They sleep through the night and take lots of naps during the day. They are gentle with the elderly person who lives in their foster home. They don't have children or other animals in their foster home, but we don't see any reason why they wouldn't love any environment or family.
Whiskers (Bear) is the most active and adventurous of the three brothers and bounds around like a rabbit. He is loving, gentle and happy - all three things one would want in a dog. He is food motivated and ready for training. He, just like his brothers, uses the backyard to go potty and sleeps like a champ.
Freckles earned his name because of his nose. He is a big cuddler and wants the most attention from his people. He is loving and obedient and smart! He is food motivated and learns quickly. He is gentle and responsive to tone of voice. He likes belly rubs and is a good sleeper. He goes potty outside as long as he has access. One great pup!
Eyebrows is the shy boy. He is happy sticking to himself but still loves to cuddle. He is independent and doesn't mind being left alone as much as the other two. He loves to play and loves belly rubs. He's a happy, gentle puppy. He's a good sleeper and goes potty outside as long as he has continued access to the yard. He's food motivated and ready to be trained with his forever family/person.

Fosters needed!
This morning in Fresno a 72 year old woman was foreclosed on and removed from her home by the sheriff's department leaving around 15 dogs behind in the home.
The first batch we are trying to secure fosters for are this adult female and male (mom and dad) and their three 7-week old puppies. The puppies can be fostered separately, and each parent can be fostered separately. However, if the spirit moves you they can also all be fostered together.
This is a desperate situation with more dogs still needing a place to land. This situation is terrible enough with an elderly woman now homeless. It would be even more tragic if her dogs were all released on the streets to fend for themselves, which is going to happen today if rescue can't be secured.
If you can foster a small breed dog please contact us by email immediately and we will respond with a volunteer application. Please include your phone number as well.
Want someone to share a delicious meal with? How about Phil (Philly-Cheese)?
Phil, or "Philly-Cheese" as he is affectionately known, came to us from the streets of the Central Valley. When he first arrived at his foster home, it was clear that he had never been cared for and loved, but after one short week he blossomed into an energetic playful loving pup whose favorite time of the day is breakfast and dinner! Phil loves his foster brothers and is learning a lot from them. His foster home is working on basic training so he will be a super good boy. He loves all humans, whether familiar or strangers and hasn't shown any aggression at all. Phil is potty trained, sleeps quietly in a crate all night and walks on a leash but could use more experience as he probably hasn't had opportunities in his past life. Phil is ready to soak up all the love and learning from his new family!
Find an application at dogmaanimalrescue.org and email it to [email protected]. Come meet Phil and other available dogs at the adoption event on Saturday, June 15th from 11-2 pm at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, 6742 Sebastopol Ave in Sebastopol. Park on nearby streets or at the Barlow.
Introducing Maddy, a toy longhaired chihuahua mix. She came to Dogma from a high kill shelter after being picked up as a stray. Maddy was completely covered in matted fur, with a double ear infection. She was cleaned up and shaved down, but her fur should grow back healthy and beautiful. Maddy will require regular grooming once her fur grows back.
Despite being neglected, Maddy loves people and desperately seeks attention. She wants to be in your lap where she can hang out and be a loving companion. She loves short walks and really enjoys playing fetch.
Maddy gets along with other dogs, big and small. She would prefer not to share you with anyone else, so she would make a great single companion.
Maddy is excellent with her foster's 18 month old grandchild, who hugs her and picks her up. It's the cutest thing you've ever seen!
Maddy is fully house trained and crate trained. She sleeps quietly in her crate through the night. Are you Maddy's fur'ever person? Accepting applications for her now.
Meet Maddy at the adoption event on Saturday, June 15th from 11-2 pm at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, 6742 Sebastopol Ave in Sebastopol. Park on nearby streets or at the Barlow. Find an application at dogmaanimalrescue.org and email it to [email protected].
Meet Podo, the curious little Puggle pup. Podo is in search of his fur-ever family. He's about 10 weeks old and is full of curiosity. He loves to rough and tumble with his brother, but is more shy around his foster sisters who are much larger than he is. He also enjoys chasing the kids around the yard or down the hallways before he snuggles up next to you for a nap.
Podo has good manners and has learned quickly to use a doggy door and is starting to get the hang of utilizing the outdoors to do his business. He sleeps well in a crate cuddled up with his brother, so learning to sleep alone may take a little time and patience. He loves to get into harmless mischief just as much as he loves to give puppy kisses.
This pup has so much personality, from bouncing through the house with his curly tail, to his hilarious facial expressions, he's going to be a great addition to the perfect family.
Come meet Podo and all available dogs at the adoption event on Saturday, June 15th from 11-2 pm at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, 6742 Sebastopol Ave in Sebastopol. Park on nearby streets or at the Barlow.
Want to "see more" fun in your future? Look no further than Seymore, the snuggly poodle mix.
Seymore is a 1.5 year old male Terrier mix who loves people and other dogs. He arrived afraid and covered in dirty, matted hair. After a bath and grooming we realized he was severely malnourished and barely weighed 8 pounds. He was a walking skeleton. After spending a month in a foster home he has gained over half of his body weight back and is now 12 pounds.
Someone neglected this little dog and interested parties will need to be understanding of his history when acclimating him in their home. He is a warm, sweet dog who enjoys himself but he is a little shell shocked. Seymore is a very affectionate, loving dog.
He adores his foster dad and foster siblings and enjoys house guest provided he is allowed to come to them. He is shy meeting new people and will not show well at adoption events, so private meetings might be best for him.
Seymore walks well on leash and is always happy to join on walks. He sleeps in bed with his person and the other dogs but started out sleeping in a crate at night. His spot of choice is curled up between the pillows. He enjoys playing with toys and has been known to come down with a case of the zoomies when he gets excited. Seymore will bond tightly with whoever adopts him.
Meet Seymore at the adoption event on Saturday, June 15th from 11-2 pm at Animal Kingdom Veterinary Hospital, 6742 Sebastopol Ave in Sebastopol. Park on nearby streets or at the Barlow. Find an application at dogmaanimalrescue.org and email it to [email protected].

New arrivals are here and we're hunkering down for the night because of the time. They'll start heading out to foster homes tomorrow morning. It's like a giant slumber party, but for dogs because I'll be upstairs in bed. We received some volunteer applications today and are sorting through them but we are still looking for fosters for some of these dogs. Can you help a puppy out??? [email protected]
Incoming special arrivals Abandoned and placed in danger. Alone in a park with no shelter, food or water. While the owner is responsible for them are back home acting like they never existed. Welcome to Dogma puppies, your life is about the change for the better. [email protected]
Last night we were contacted about some Golden Retriever/Doodle mix puppies who were orphaned when their mother died during delivery. They arrived this afternoon and we introduced them to our nursing Labrador, Porsche, who readily accepted them as her own. Animals are just amazing, Porsche took on these newborns without question and the puppies instinctively began nursing. They are now officially married with their new siblings in the middle of a dog pile sleeping on a warming pad. They'll need to be watched carefully to ensure they're getting dedicated nursing time since the other puppies are 10 days older, but so far so good. There's always a risk adding puppies to an existing litter and we don't often do it because of potential contamination issues. In this case the puppies were so young their exposure to viruses was limited. The benefit outweighs any risks in this situation because these 5 puppies are going to be better prepared for the world with Porsche raising them instead of being bottle fed by people.
Foster needed Rescued today by a good Samaritan in the East Bay. This mama and her newborn litter were in a plastic crate and dumped from the back of a truck. They need a Sonoma County foster home if we are going to rescue them. If you can help please email [email protected].
Foster secured! This litter of 4, 8-week old puppies were scheduled to be euthanized for space Tuesday night at 5pm. We were contacted just as the clock ran out and agreed to bring these babies into our adoption program. They will arrive Wednesday by private flight and we still need to find a foster home for them in Sonoma County. As luck would have it they are arriving on Valentine's Day, so your significant other couldn't possibly say no. Ladies, do you have a big heart and always want to save animals from suffering. Surely your hubby can't say no...Gentleman, do you hide your feelings so well that your wife is constantly telling you to express your sensitive side? So you know what will do that without actually having to talk about your feelings? Fostering rescue puppies. You can still be strong and silent, you'll just have puppies too. Plus, you can come up with a great Valentine's litter theme! Cupid, Eros, Aphrodite, Valentino, Sweetheart, Cuddles, Cupcake, the name possibilities are endless. Hours of fun for free and you'll be saving innocent lives at the same time. Your sweetheart will surely say be mine when you say you want to bring puppies home. Dogma covers all expenses. Fosters provide a structured home environment and transportation to all adoption events and any medical appointments. [email protected]
Foster needed! This one year old, 15 pound male Terrier is suffering from a puncture wound on his side. He's scheduled to be euthanized tonight at 5 but we are bringing him up pending a committed Sonoma County foster home. If you can bring this boy into your home please contact us at the email below. Let's save his life. [email protected]
Foster needed These two 7-week old puppies were abandoned on a bust Central Valley a freeway. They were rescued by a good Sam and are now both safe. It goes without saying that these puppies were absolutely terrified after being snatched off the freeway but they have calmed down and are now happy, warm and being nurtured. If we can find a Sonoma County foster we will bring them into our adoption program and far away from the vile, sadistic, psychopath who did this to them. I am posting pictures of both puppies in the comments. If you can foster these puppies please email us at [email protected]. If you have recently submitted an application to foster a different dog and you are interested in fostering these two, just email and let us know you submitted your application already. We'll find it and check it out.
Fosters needed beginning tonight. This week we have been coordinating rescue of Poodle mixes from a hoarding situation in the Central Valley. Transport is happening as we speak, but sadly despite our best efforts 5 puppies and 2 senior Poodles drowned overnight when their owner left them in the back yard during the storm. The surviving 9 puppies and 2 adults he has agreed to surrender have been secured and are safe. The owner is keeping 4 dogs and we will be sponsoring their vetting and alteration. I have many opinions of this situation and I can't let my brain process them because it will just put me in a bad place. I encourage everyone to focus on the successful rescue of 9 endangered dogs and not the needless loss of lives. We need Sonoma County fosters for these puppies. I would like them fostered in three groups of 3. We need two fosters for the 2 adults. That's five fosters total. If you can foster some of these dogs please email us. Please don't message the page or comment saying you can foster. We run our foster program through our email account only. When you have to check 5 different methods of communication to find one message from 30 days ago you will see the logic. [email protected] Donating saves lives.

Otis, male 3 year old, 45 pounds Staffy/Pitty thing mixed with a smaller breed of some sort. Squatty legs ♥️. Come meet him today! [email protected]
Foster needed Otis is a 3 year old, 45 pounds, American Staff mix rescued today from a high kill shelter. He needs a Sonoma County foster home.or adopter as soon as possible. If.you can help Otis, please contact us. [email protected] .
Foster needed! This shelter is in Selma, CA and is closing December 31, 2023. There are 120 dogs onsite right now. Any remaining dogs left on January 31st will be euthanized. Doing our part I swung by on my way back this morning and found a dog that connected with me. He's a 3 year old American Staff mix who weighs 45 pounds. When he first looked at me he communicated that he didn't belong there. I agreed. He still needs a foster home. Someone with dog experience. I live in a top floor apartment, up a spiral staircase and I'm waiting for knee surgery. If I have to carry him up the stairs I will, but I think one of our followers sees the potential this guy has as much as I do. If you can foster this guy let me know. I'll be naming him during the 6 hour car ride back. [email protected]
No responses as of 4:30pm If we can find a confirmed Foster in Sonoma County before 4:30 today we can save these dogs. We'll also need to raise at least $2,500-3,000 for their medical expenses. It's not right that they lived with someone their entire lives who then turned around and dumped them at the shelter to be euthanized. We can do something about it, but we can't do it without your help. Read on for shelter email and email [email protected] if you can help. Please don't comment saying you wish you could foster or criticize the former owner. If you CAN foster EMAIL us at the above address. Don't message the FB page or comment saying you can foster. This is time sensitive and needs to be addressed immediately. "IMMEDIATE RESCUE NEEDED BY TODAY AT 4:30 - OWNER REQ EUTH Two dogs were surrendered by owner for euthanasia. They are severely neglected and have to be tagged by rescue by the end of the day or they will be euthanized. Both males, 18 and 6 pounds, both 10 years old, both need dentals, black/white has cyst on head, both are friendly but very neglected."
DONATIONS NEEDED As I wrote earlier this week, the response for Alfie and Sammie has inspired us and rallied the shelter staff in the Valley. We needed to raise between $1,000-2,000 for each dog to get their medical work ups, tests, and dental cleanings/extractions. This afternoon a generous follower sent in a $500 donation which brought the fundraising total up to $1,850. That's close enough! Because of all of your donations Sammie and Alfie and 7 other dogs arrive tomorrow at 11am. And since there was so much interest in them we are going to keep the momentum going. The two senior 10+ year old, male Chihuahuas in the video are scared to death of all the activity and noise at the shelter and we are going to bring them into our adoption program ASAP. Once again we need to fundraise and find foster homes for these two old men. Their cautious, frightened reaction to the shelter volunteer extending her hand melts my heart. I know this response, I've seen it before - these little guys are in shock and confused. These are good dogs who found themselves in a life threatening situation because of the negligence of the very person who was supposed to protect them. If we can pay for them we will keep taking them. It's that simple. Donate. If you can't donate but have extra time, foster or adopt. If you're just too busy and struggling financially share this post. It costs nothing and takes seconds. You can make a difference in a dog's life. Donating is easy.

Foster needed! These dogs have been living in a remote vineyard and almond orchard for over a month along with a larger group of dogs not pictured. The female has a fractured leg. She's about one year old and weighs between 50-60 pounds. She has been friendly enough to approach people and be touched, so she's got a decent temperament. All of these dogs need to find rescues willing to take them in but the first one out needs to be the injured female. If we can get a qualified foster in Sonoma County we will bring her up and get her in for treatment. Can the leg be saved? My guess is no because it's been broken for a long time and things have fused back together, but you never know. Any foster should assume she will become a tripod. She needs saving and I know we have followers out there with the time and space to help her. Will you bring this girl into your home and save her life? Email [email protected] if you can help.
FOSTER SECURED Misty arrived on Friday and hasn't had even one email inquiring about fostering her. She has spent the weekend kenneled and with volunteers stopping in to keep her company. Unfortunately, she gets nervous on leash when we take her outside because of her new surroundings and since there is no fence at Animal Kingdom it is unsafe taking her outside. She desperately needs a secure, fenced yard to explore. It's the last thing she needs to decompress. Misty is a 45 pound, female Heeler mix. She is good with other dogs, cats and children, she is house, crate and potty trained. We're not sure about leash training yet because we need to see her on leash in a calm environment. She is a mild mannered dog and doesn't have an aggressive bone in her body. At her former home she slept on her people's bed or in a crate. She is a herding breed so she will herd based on instinct. Ever go to the park and your kids scatter too far apart? You need Misty at your side, lol! Please, someone with a secure backyard who doesn't mind a 45 pound dog in your lap foster this dog. This weekend she's comfortable but on Monday the hospital needs these kennels and her accommodations become less glamorous. This is a really good dog and will be a pleasant addition to your home.

Foster needed! Laverne, right (4 year old, 16 pound Beagle mix) and Shirley, left (1year old, 8 pound Terrier mix) were rescued from the euthanasia list today and need a Sonoma County foster to take them in until adoption. Both dogs are dog and people friendly and appear to be house trained. These girls have the most soulful eyes you'll ever see. Help save two lives by fostering today. If you can help email [email protected].
Blossom and puppies, day 2. Happy Wednesday!
Update on Blossom! After one full day in rescue Blossom has relaxed and come around. She's still a bit nervous but has accepted the help of people around her and is roaming around our kennel room stretching her legs. It's time for this lady and her seven one-week old babies to leave our office and head to their foster home. If we don't have a confirmed Sonoma County, CA foster home by tomorrow morning one of our existing fosters will double up and take this family home. We never can figure out why some posts go viral and some don't but we always appreciate the amount of likes and comments we get. Although, I have to say it's incredibly frustrating trying to explain to people why they can't foster Blossom and her seven, one-week old puppies on the east coast. Hint, it's because we're in California. But it's always fun to get the riot act from people because they want them and we refuse to put them on a cross country transport.
