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

Spotlight on: Pete!

Evelyn Lux died peacefully on Wednesday, February 27, 2008.  She is shown above with “Pete,” a sweet older Golden Retriever whom she adopted from Retrievers and Friends.  Pete (originally called “Clete”) came to our group desperately in need of his own home, and he was fostered by Evelyn’s son, Mike.  We weren’t surprised that Pete found his home within Mike’s own family.  The Lux’s have a special place in their hearts for animals, and it was certainly true of Evelyn as well.  Mike had this to say of his Mom and Dad:  “They were just two people past 90 years of age who knew that their love for dogs only intensified as the years passed by. It multiplies. For each dog in your past that you loved, the new dog brings all that love out, and a little extra that you hadn't mined yet.”

Retrievers and Friends has rescue Retrievers, Poodles, and other dogs and cats available for adoption

Our sympathies are with the Lux family, who will miss the love of gentle Evelyn, who has joined her husband and special Golden Pete, both of whom passed before her.

Our Mission

Retrievers & Friends of Southern California, Inc., was formed to rescue and re-home Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, providing an alternative to the animal shelter for owners who can no longer keep their dogs.  We are a full-service rescue, with dogs coming to us from all over the Southern California area for foster care services.  RFSC not only provides care for dogs while they are waiting for adoption, but we provide follow-up assistance for the life of the dog.  If for any reason a family can not keep a dog, the dog is brought back to the organization for placement.  To ensure that this occurs, we have refined our geographic adoption area to Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Orange counties. 

In addition to Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers, RFSC also accepts mixed breeds and other small purebred dogs as space allows.  We accept Goldens and Labs of all ages, including seniors and those with special needs.  All dogs are spayed and neutered and updated on vaccinations if not already done by the owner.  Dogs with special medical  needs are further evaluated by our veterinarian for treatment.  Your donations are always appreciated and help us to continue to care for these special dogs.  Because we are an all-volunteer group, 100% of all adoption fees and donations are used for the care of the dogs in our program.  Your tax-deductible donations are appreciated!
