Give Central Valley Dogs a Second Chance

In the first half of 2025, Better World Rescue saved 83 dogs and cats from euthanasia at our local shelters. Fum was a puppy at Stockton Shelter who was almost euthanized for space. All of his siblings (Fee, Fi, and Fo) were adopted, leaving Fum all alone to grow up in the scary shelter. Thanks to an amazing foster stepping up to take Fum in, we were able to save his life. Fum is now part of our Canine Good Citizen training program to help him learn all of his basic obedience so he is ready to shine in his forever home. 

We are doing the best we can in an area of the country that has so much need. It is a sad day when shelters are even euthanizing puppies due to lack of space, but unfortunately it is every day in the Central Valley. Our local shelters are full and Better World Rescue currently has 96 pets in foster care. We continue to work proactively within our community to help prevent dogs and cats from ending up in our local shelters by providing spay/neuter assistance, medical bill assistance, and behavioral training resources to pet families in need. 

The need for a boarding and behavioral training center for the area is greater than ever, and every donation helps towards this end goal. Better World Rescue is a 100% volunteer run organization focused on San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, where there is tremendous need as most of our local shelters in these counties are considered high-kill and are forced to euthanize regularly for space. Please help us to make this dream a reality and thank you for your support.
