About GOLDIE AND PAPIS ANIMAL RESCUE INC

Goldie and Papis’ Animal Rescue is a volunteer-run, foster-based animal rescue serving the San Pablo / Richmond area in Contra Costa County, California. The organization operates primarily through a network of volunteer fosters rather than a brick-and-mortar shelter and emphasizes preparing animals for successful long-term adoption.

The rescue was founded in memory of two pets named Goldie and Papi and holds recognized 501(c)(3) status. Animals are sourced from municipal shelters, owner surrenders, veterinary clinics, and community intakes; each animal receives veterinary care including testing, vaccination, and spay/neuter before adoption.

In the last 2–3 years the organization has remained active in local transfer and adoption efforts, maintained an online wish list and adoption listings (including on major pet platforms), and run community fundraising campaigns to support medical and transport costs. The rescue lists local veterinarians and community partners it works with to provide medical care and has participated in transfer partnerships with regional animal services to save at-risk animals.
