DOG ADOPTION, RESCUE, & SHELTERS

Justin Rudd's nonprofit 501c3 Community Action Team (C.A.T.)
 
   
 

Justin Rudd's Haute Dogs, Long Beach, Calif.  Haute Dogs encourages you to consider adopting a pet from a Southern California animal shelter or rescue group. Dozens of groups are listed on this page, and hundreds of dogs are waiting for their forever homes. Don't delay -- by Calif. law, shelters are only required to keep the dogs for six days. Thanks for your consideration.


THE HAUTE
DOG
organization (pronounced "HOT") is a diverse and growing network of dog owners, lovers, educators, rescuers and supporters. Our common bond has resulted in a unique and lively community of folks who share some qualities of our favorite dogs: devotion, spirit and tenacity.


EDUCATE & INFLUENCE
Through educational outreach and events, we hope to help inspire a better understanding and appreciation of dogs, dispel damaging myths, encourage responsible ownership practices, and offer practical adoption and rescue opportunities.

DEDICATION
This Web site is dedicated to my English Bulldog Rosie and to all dogs who continue to be brave and loving.

Warm regards,

Justin Rudd!

Adoptions, Rescues, and Shelters in Southern California

WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
An estimated 600,000 dogs and cats are put to death each year in California, including 34,000 in Los Angeles alone. Every year, between six and eight million dogs and cats enter U.S. shelters; some three to four million of these animals are euthanized because there are not enough homes for them.

http://HauteDogs.org/adoption.htmlTHE DOGS that come to each rescue are from all types of backgrounds.  Some, through no fault of their own, find themselves without a home.   An owner dies or moves somewhere and they feel they can't keep the dog or the dog is considered not suitable to the new home.  Perhaps it was a cute puppy bought on impulse, with no thought of what it would be when it grew up.  Many times it's just not the right breed of dog for that person or that particular family. -Rescuers.com
