San Diego Special Needs Rescue - San Diego Pet Shelter

San Diego Special Needs Rescue is dedicated to rescuing small dogs from life-threatening situations. All of our dogs were either in danger of being euthanized in animal shelters, neglected or abused, or taken from the public (when space permits) so they are not bounced around to different homes or collected and sold to research labs by "bunchers."
