All strays must have a mandatory hold in the state of CA before being claimed by another, meaning we are unable to take found dogs and rehome them. We are a Rescue, not a Shelter. Strays require a foster for at least two weeks where the rescue tries to help find owners, we make no claims to the animals during this time. We can help post it or attempt to secure a foster for the stray hold period. If we cannot the one that found the animal is responsible for care and placement not the rescue. After the two weeks if a long term foster is found and we agree to back the animal we can attempt to adopt it out. At this point the rescue assumes responsibility for the animal.
