Click here to see our adoptable dogs!

The Brittany Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, care and placement of homeless dogs.

The dogs are shown at our weekly adoption program at our sanctuary in Agua Dulce. Please check our schedule for adoption events. While in our care, the dogs are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and given a thorough check-up along with any necessary medical attention. Our dogs are also microchipped.  If dogs are not adopted, they will live at the sanctuary for their entire life.  We run a no-kill facility.

We rescue all dogs, regardless of breed, and we often focus our efforts on the harder-to-place dogs such as seniors, disabled or abused dogs, and "media condemned" breeds such as Pit Bulls, Chow Chows, & Dobies. It's relatively easy to find a home for a cute little terrier, but the gratification for us comes from placing the 6-year-old Pit Bull with one eye, the stray mutt who has never had a home before, or the 12-year-old Doberman with severe separation anxiety (who is now living in a wonderful home of his own). Of course, we also have the adorable, easy, well-behaved angels who are still searching for their forever homes too.

 

Pam S. has been volunteering with The Brittany Foundation for over four years and we could not be happier to have her! Her hard work and love for animals shows in her dedication to the sanctuary. Every Tuesday she helps with kennel and ranch duties, walks dogs, and helps wherever else she is needed. We are so lucky to have her on our team!

All of our pups (and humans) at The Brittany Foundation appreciate the love and commitment shown by this amazing individual.  Thank you, Pam!

Pam and her daughter Erin are shown here with Wesley, Tuesday, and Widget, all of whom have found homes since this photo was taken!

We're at it again!  Everyone's favorite fundraiser, A Day in Their Paws, is coming up fast!  Mark your calendar for October 15 - we would love to see you at our open house from noon-4:00!

A Day in Their Paws is one way we raise awareness of how shelter and rescue dogs live. Volunteers commit to spending 24 hours in a kennel with the dog of their choice.  Volunteers can only get out of the kennel by finding sponsors who will "buy their freedom" for $1 per minute. We hold an open house at The Brittany Foundation Sanctuary, with music, raffle, silent auction, and of course you can tour the sanctuary, visit our "incarcerated" volunteers, and learn about the dogs who are keeping them company.

Visit our Day in Their Paws page to see our participating volunteers and help them meet their fundraising goals!

The Brittany Foundation is an all-volunteer organization. Our devoted staff handles the care, feeding, event coordination, public awareness campaigns and many other needs for our busy facility. Brittany Foundation volunteers know each dog personally, and they know how to assist you in finding the right dog for your needs, home and lifestyle.

Without the devotion to animals that the Brittany Foundation volunteers bring to our organization, we could not survive to help these dogs find homes.

If you are interested in volunteering, check out the "How to Help" section of our website. Even if you can't give a dog a home, you can make a difference in an animal's life. The Brittany Foundation is always seeking fellow dog lovers to assist our humane mission.
