About THE DAWG SQUAD

The Dawg Squad is an all‑volunteer 501(c)(3) animal rescue based in Los Angeles that rescues dogs from high‑kill city shelters, abusive or neglected situations, and the streets. Dogs receive medical care, training, rehabilitation and are placed in volunteer foster homes while the organization works to find permanent adoptive families. The organization emphasizes spay/neuter and microchipping prior to adoption, runs regular community adoption events, and maintains an active online presence. The organization's EIN (35-2353214) matches public nonprofit registries and the organization's own filings/web presence, and recent activity on its website and event listings shows ongoing adoption events and rescue work through 2024–2025.

Notable achievements

3,600+ animals rescued and placed

Organization‑reported cumulative total of more than 3,600 dogs rescued and placed into permanent homes, reflecting sustained placement activity over multiple years.

Volunteer‑run, foster‑based model

Operates without a large centralized shelter or salaried staff; relies on volunteer fosters, volunteers for transport and events, and community boarding/training to keep operating costs low and maximize direct care for animals.

Recurring community adoption events

Hosts regular adoption events and special adoption drives (examples on the organization calendar include events in late 2024 and mid‑2025) that place animals, engage volunteers, and raise donor support.
