Who We Are

Rocket Dog Rescue is a San Francisco Bay Area dog rescue organization run by a group of dedicated volunteers.

We save dogs from death at over-crowded shelters and find them loving, happy homes. Are you looking to adopt a dog in the San Francisco Bay Area? Look no further!

Can't adopt a dog right now but still want to help? We always need awesome foster homes! Fosters are the heart of our program, providing a safe and stable temporary home to help get our dogs ready for adoption.

We're always looking for new volunteers of all kinds - whether that means sitting with dogs at adoption events, working with dogs at the Sanctuary, or assisting with transport - we have an opportunity for you!

Our Volunteers Rock

Maryanne"I started volunteering in 2015 at adoption events. I’ve done many things with Rocket Dog including transport; gathering donations; fundraising; washing dishes, cleaning kennels and socializing with the dogs at our sanctuary. My primary role is an administrative one and I currently help manage the website, social media, and our database.

The best thing that has happened to me because of Rocket Dog, besides the obvious amazing feeling of saving dogs and being part of the solution, is two-fold.

Firstly, I have made wonderful friends. One of them I consider one of my besties and I never would have met her were it not for RD.

Secondly, meeting and adopting the best dog ever! One afternoon after a huge corporate event, Pali asked me to foster "for one night" a young Pit Bull. Coincidently, I had been on the look-out to adopt a dog, but it was “never going to be a Pit Bull”. Readers can guess the rest, because not only did I adopt Bosun after one night, I am now a huge advocate for this much-maligned "breed". - Marianne, Rocket Dog Volunteer
