Retrievers and Friends of Southern California

Welcome to Retrievers & Friends of Southern California, Inc. (RFSC) We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization devoted to finding homes for Golden Retrievers & Labrador Retrievers, as well as other breeds of dogs as space allows.

Can you provide a foster home or forever home to a pet in need? Heed the call to make a difference by opening your heart and your home, today!

Help us name this Pony

	RFSC rescued this sweet old pony recently. He was abandoned in a nursery in Riverside. He is a kind, gentle, older fellow. He closes his eyes in delight when we brush him. We are asking for help with a name for this special boy. Visit our Facebook page and make a suggestion for his name. So far, we have considered Harold, Walter and Stanley.
He will be looking for a new home as soon as we put some weight on him and perform some minor veterinary care. We are looking for donations to help with his feed and veterinary care. Please consider a small donation to assist with his care.

Hailey

Hailey is a beautiful Great Pyrenees. She was living chained up to a tree when we heard about her. As you can see in her photo, she had a very large mammary tumor. It was very heavy, hanging almost to the ground when she is standing. It would swing side to side when she walked.

We were very happy to be able to help Hailey. We knew it would not be easy and that Hailey would need extra help before and after surgery. Thanks to our wonderful veterinarian, Hailey had surgery on April 23. Hailey has received the best care and this is the first step in helping Hailey gain her health.

Hailey has a soft and gentle temperament. Every person she meets is a friend.
We are praying for the right home for Hailey when she is ready.

Anyone that would like to partner with us in helping Hailey would be greatly appreciated. Please visit our Donations page to help Hailey.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Daisy

Daisy was adopted from RFSC 6 years ago. She is now 12 years old and has earned her Canine Good Citizen title.

Daisy is all ready to go on hospital therapy visits.

We are so proud of Daisy!!

RFSC is looking for a volunteer to help with grant writing.

We have identified some potential grants that could really make a difference at Retrievers and Friends. We are looking for a volunteer with strong writing and organizational skills. Please send us an email if you would like to help out.

RFSC's Mobile Vet Clinic...

We wanted to share a picture of our mobile spay/neuter clinic. We recently hosted a spay/neuter clinic in Riverside. We were able to spay and neuter more than 20 dogs and cats that belonged to the homeless.

The animals were provided the much needed surgeries at no cost in order to prevent future litters. RFSC volunteers know that we cannot adopt our way out of the over population problem. We are trying to do all that we can in order to be part of the solution.

We pray for a day when all animals have a loving home. Until then, we would be grateful for donations to support this much needed program.

Please visit our spay/neuter page for details and to take a look at our beautiful clinic on wheels! Learn more...

Vineyard Veterinary

UPDATE: Our friends at Vineyard Veterinary Hospital are having an open house on Saturday May 18 from 12:00 - 4:00 pm. RFSC will be there with some pets that are looking for their forever home. Please come buy and meet everyone !!

We are often asked what the rescue "needs". We always need bleach and laundry detergent. We are always doing laundry. Part of the challenge is finding time to pick up donations when someone offers.

Our wonderful friends at Vineyard Veterinary have offered to help out.
