Working in the community since 1996

Thousands of pets, and their families assisted each year

Social Work

Thanks to a generous grant from California For All Animals, DDR employs a full-time social worker who is available at the South Los Angeles Shelter, located at 1850 West 60th Street, Los Angeles, 90047. The social worker is on-site Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm to assist both housed and unhoused individuals with pets in need of case management support.

Mobile Clinic

DDR owns and operates a mobile clinic that offers free to low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for cats and dogs on a weekly basis. Our clinic also provides a wide range of additional care, including dental treatments and major surgeries, ensuring that pets who might not otherwise have access to these services receive the care they need.

Community Clinics

In partnership with the Southern California Veterinary Medical Association, Downtown Dog Rescue (DDR) provides free vaccines, microchipping, and other wellness services on the second Sunday of each month. Additionally, DDR hosts a “Cat Box Clinic” once a month, offering specialized veterinary care for cats. Our community wellness clinics also provide services such as humane euthanasia and major surgeries, focusing on supporting low-income families and unhoused individuals with pets.

Clancy’s Closet

Clancy’s Closet, our thrift store for pets, is located at 3925 Tweedy Blvd, South Gate, 90280. Stocked entirely with donated items, the store offers a variety of pet essentials, such as collars, leashes, toys, crates, and dog clothing, available weekly to unhoused people and low-income families with pets. Our motto is “Donate what you can. Take what you need.” All proceeds support our mobile clinic.

DDR Shelter

Downtown Dog Rescue (DDR) owns and operates a rescue dog shelter, where around 20 dogs live until they are placed in foster homes or adopted. We rescue dogs from open-admission municipal shelters and our local community. Our dedicated team of full-time and part-time staff provides round-the-clock care to ensure every dog receives the attention and support they need.

Adoption Program

Downtown Dog Rescue (DDR) is a 501(c) nonprofit organization that relies on your donations to continue its work. We suggest a donation of $250 when you adopt one of our dogs. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and receive a comprehensive health exam upon entering our program. If adoption isn’t an option for you, please consider fostering. When you foster a DDR dog, all veterinary expenses are covered, and it provides the dog with the opportunity to live in a home before adoption. For more information, call 818-407-4145.
