More about the shelter
We are a group of volunteers in Southern California, primarily in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, dedicated to saving the lives of abandoned animals. We care for strays, abandoned animals, victims of abuse, and have rescued many from euthanization in animal shelters across California.
At the present time we do not have a facility of our own to keep them, so we rely solely on the good will of foster families who care for them until they can be placed in permanent homes.
We also work closely with other rescue groups and we are always in need of volunteers to assist in showing the animals on weekends and especially to foster pets until they are adopted.
Our founders started many years ago as volunteers with various non-profit organizations across the United States and have made pet rescue a major part of their lives. Most of us have our own families of dogs, cats, and other pets who once were also rescues.
"Critters in Need Pet Rescue" is an established animal rescue and placement group. With your help and the help of our friends, we will be able to save many lives and bring much happiness to many people and animals alike.
We are constantly in need of help in various fields of pet adoption. Volunteers are desperately needed to provide foster homes, help showing animals to the public in pet shows and events, home visitations, publicity, pet transportation and a number of other projects aimed at placing as many animals as we can in the very best of homes.

About Owen
Distance: 1,423 Miles
March 2022, that’s when we rescued this boy. 2 years is how long Owen has been looking for a home.
Taken in as a stray with another dog (his best friend Silly Milly), Owen and Silly Milly entered the scary shelter together and were thankfully kennel mates. On the day their time was up, we saw their plea and we immediately pulled both Owen and Silly Milly.
We rooted for these two to get adopted together but weeks turned into months and months turned into years and no one wanted to adopt a bonded pair so we made the difficult decision to adopt them out separately. To get zero applications in 2 years was mind-boggling to us.
Now Silly Milly has been placed in the most amazing home and while that is great news, Owen is really feeling the emptiness that Silly Milly once filled.
He’s an approx 3 year old mutt and has the cutest underbite. He’s outgoing and great with dogs of all sizes.
Owen may be one of the most overlooked dogs in our rescue so this is our plea to consider him and help restore that spark he once had with his best friend, Milly.
