Jake's Wish Dog Rescue

Jake's Wish Dog Rescue, located in Northern California, is a non profit (501c3), volunteer-driven organization dedicated to rescuing at-risk  dogs from our local shelters as well as our community. Pets coming to us directly from the community are able to bypass the shelter system altogether, minimizing the stress and trauma that this environment can have on a pet already losing its home and also lessening the burden on our local shelters. We also serve our community by providing information and education on responsible dog ownership.

We strive to do this with kindness, by providing a feeling of security through in-home fostering until a match is found that suits both the adopter and dog.

Jake, a precious Papillion mix, is the inspiration behind this dog rescue. He was born blind and found wandering the streets of Los Angeles alone. Jake's owners were contacted by a local shelter but they refused to pay the $20 to get him back saying "he wasn't worth it". Luckily Jake made his way to the Bay Area via a rescue organization and was adopted by the founder of Jake's Wish Dog Rescue.

Despite being blind, Jake has an amazing personality and resilience beyond compare. He serves as an inspiration for dogs and humans alike – to never give up no matter how big the odds. We believe that every dog is loveable and adoptable. Jake's wish – and our mission – is to find a home for every dog.
