Real Good Rescue is a volunteer-powered, Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to saving dogs who have been discarded, overlooked, or forgotten. We are the Real Good Gang — a community of rescuers, fosters, adopters, and advocates united by one belief: every dog deserves a real chance at a real good life.

We rescue dogs from city and county shelters where their time is running out — often seniors, medical cases, or misunderstood “at-risk” breeds. We bring them into loving foster homes, provide the medical care and rehabilitation they need, and match them with adopters who see them for who they truly are. Every dog we save is a middle finger to the idea that they were disposable.

But our mission goes beyond rescue. We’re here to transform how people see rescue itself. Through education and outreach, we empower our community to adopt confidently and responsibly. We partner with local families who may be struggling to keep their dogs, offering resources, support, and compassion instead of judgment. Because doing Real Good means keeping dogs where they belong — in homes, not shelters.

Our community is built on action and heart. The Real Good Gang shows up every day — networking, fostering, fundraising, advocating, doing the unglamorous but vital work that changes outcomes. And our Real Good Rebels — our monthly donors — keep the mission alive, sustaining the rescues, vet care, and transport that give dogs their second shot.

We’re not just another rescue. We’re a movement — a modern, inclusive, slightly irreverent, and deeply devoted family redefining what it means to do good.

Real Good Rescue: Real people. Real dogs. Real Good.
