Spot
SPOT Saving Pets One at a Time is a leading San Diego County all-volunteer rescue organization whose main focus is to save dogs and cats in shelters who are at risk of euthanization and to help other dogs and cats in need as well. In addition helping other at risk dogs and cats as we can. Our goal is to save treatable trainable manageable and misdiagnosed dog and cats. We rescue them and provide foster homes in order to give them the care medical behavior and training they need until we find them their forever loving homes. Our ultimate wish is for all shelters to be empty - meaning that no animal is abandoned and no shelter kills one animal to make room for another.
