California is in crisis. And the traditional rescue process is unacceptable chaos. Thousands of dogs yearly being kill-listed on short notice. Volunteers scrambling to get out the word. Networkers begging adopters on NextDoor nationwide to step up. People tagging and tagging and tagging and "someone please save this precious baby-ing" without anyone stepping up. People in far-flung states posting "I'll take the dog if someone can get them here for free." People stating they'll go adopt the dog and then bailing at the last minute. People fake!adopting dogs to keep them alive with no long-term plan for the dog and then scrambling to find actual adopters. Rescues desperately pulling dogs out of shelters for which they have no fosters and placing them indefinitely into boarding (sometimes unlicensed facilities that are little better than the shelters from which the dogs were pulled), bleeding money without giving the dogs their lives back. Networkers sending dogs across state borders to adopters they have not truly vetted, via transporters they may or may not know particularly well (some of whom turn out to be fraudsters), and typically without bothering to comply with interstate transport laws...and hoping they're sending a dog into a better situation, without truly knowing where the dog is going. People begging overstuffed shelters to keep dogs alive for just one more day, to try to find an ad hoc solution for where to put the dog. Rescues moving dogs from temporary foster to longer-term foster to boarding and back, without ever knowing whether and when an adopter will emerge.
This is not acceptable. It's a disaster. Speaking as a Californian, it is a total and complete embarrassment.
And it is not how we rescue.
Here is our rescue philosophy.
We believe that rescue is at its most effective, at scale, when it is site-based and employment-based.
It's how we know we have a place for each dog we pull.
It's how we know that the dogs are only in fully licensed, permitted, and legal circumstances.
It's how we avoid placing dogs in long-term boarding.
It's how we avoid the crises created when fosters bail on short notice.
It's how we can transport dogs reliably from shelters to our rescue.
It's how we vet our adopters to high heaven and make sure our dogs stay safe.
It's how we personally transport our dogs to our adopters, or meet with them at length at our site.
It's how we show up every single time when we tell the shelters we will, without chaos.
It's how we know we have the human and physical resources needed to care for every dog to which we have committed.
It's how we know we can tell every JRR OWII dog that they are safe for the rest of their lives. That we WILL be back to pick them up if anything goes wrong, and we WILL have a safe place for them to come back to.

Titus 2024 (sent in by adopter). This slightly fuzzy photo makes us very very happy. This was a behaviourally-challenged unhappy foster dog. He has come a long long way. Thank you to all the folks who helped make this happen.
