Samoyed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization founded in 1993 to assist Samoyed dogs. The organization concentrates on saving purebred Samoyeds from animal shelters and individual homes where the dogs are no longer wanted. SRSC operates independently and must generate our own donations and solicit volunteer help. The geographic range within which SRSC works is limited to Southern California, from Oxnard to the north, San Diego to the south, east to Riverside County and parts San Bernardino County.
Fill out our Pre-Adoption online form - You have to do this. Even if it seems like a big, weird hassle, it helps us match you to a Samoyed waiting for adoption. Having reviewed your Questionnaire, our Rescue Coordinator will contact you about available dogs. Even if a suitable dog isn’t available, you’ll be on the waiting list. In the meantime, get your house and yard ready to accept the new dog. Repair fences and protect plants and lawns. Collect up possible “chew toys”, such as fine Italian leather shoes, and store them safely in a closet. A new dog often marks (um, with urine) a new house inside and out. Sorry, but you’d better have some enzymatic cleaner and wipe rags available. This will end once the pet recognizes your house as its home and knows how and when to get outside for relief. Maintain contact with us. It seems like for weeks there are none, and then dogs appear at our doorsteps in bunches. Telephone and leave a voice message if we don’t answer right off. We are a small, all-volunteer organization, easily distracted by things like work, plumbing leaks, and children; it may take a few days before we can get back to you. Please be patient. Think of us like the government, except you didn’t elect us, you can’t replace us, we don’t have all your tax dollars to spend, and we do try hard. If approved, you will be added to the waiting list for the dog you would like. Once we think there is a match, you will get to meet the prospective dog in your home. We can then see how the first contact goes. We generally perform a home check to make sure that your yard is secure and that there is an overall compatibility between your home environment and the needs of the prospective dog. This seems intrusive, but it’s not; it’s best for you, for us, and for the dog. You must sign a contract, agree to its terms, and pay our modest adoption fee ($250-$500). We are an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. Your donation is 100% tax deductible.
