Rocket Dog Rescue

Dog rescue in San Francisco, CA

We rescue not for politics, fortune, or fame, my friend… but for the kiss of a dog. Founded in 2001 by Bay Area animal activist Pali Boucher, Rocket Dog Rescue is a 501-C3 nonprofit corporation supported completely by donations. Our all-volunteer, home-based organization guarantees that your donations are completely focused on saving dogs. Rocket Dog Rescue’s ultimate goal is to help create a world where all companion animals have loving and permanent homes.
To volunteer at our sanctuary in Oakland, please fill out our Sanctuary Volunteer Application. For all other types of volunteering, please complete our Non-Sanctuary Volunteer Application.
