Scooter's Pals has been rescuing dogs for almost two decades. I started Scooter's Pals more than 20 years ago after Scooter, the love of my life, and Molly were murdered.

We do not pay salaries-we are 100% volunteer-run. Most of your donations go directly to veterinary care, followed by nutritious food.

​

Most of our dogs are in foster homes, while our cats are cared for either at our office or in foster homes. On any given day, we could have nearly 40 adoptable dogs searching for loving families.

​

A handful of our rescue dogs take longer to find their forever homes. Some are returns from over our many years of rescue work, but we never give up on them. Many of these hard-to-adopt dogs are lovingly fostered, long-term, by our committed volunteers while we cover all their medical and food expenses. We believe that high-quality food is essential to their health and well-being.

​

We eventually find homes for most, even if the journey takes time. None of this would be possible without YOU and supporters like you. Thank you!

​

If you aren't already a foster, please consider becoming one! You can help save a life! Fostering is a wonderful choice, especially for those who would love a dog or cat to care for but are worried about the cost of veterinary care. We cover the expenses; you provide the love.

​

We always take our rescue animals back if a situation doesn't turn out to be the right fit for your home or family. Thankfully, our adoption return rate is extremely low. Please help us save a life by opening your heart and home to a foster pet!

​

To view most of our adoptable dogs and cats, check out our Adoptable Animals page on this site. Or head over to our office at Scooter's Place, 534 Brunswick Road in Grass Valley to meet our cats in person. We post regularly on Facebook and you can also call our office at (530) 350-2099 or my cell phone at (530) 301-9335. We are always happy to connect with fellow animal lovers!

​

If you are not able to foster, you can still help us save lives by donating (and some of our amazing fosters do both!). Please visit our Facebook page or website to set up a donation - and if you're able, consider a monthly recurring gift, which gives us the reliable support we need to rescue even more animals.

​

From the bottom of our hearts, Scooter and I thank you!
