ABOUT US
the dawg sqaud
The Dawg Squad is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from the streets, shelters, and owner surrenders. Through compassionate care, rehabilitation, fostering, and adoption, we give dogs the opportunity to be part of a loving home.
Real Dogs. Real People. Real Second Chances.
Our Story
Dawg Squad was founded by a group of dog lovers who saw a need and refused to look away. What started as a small group of friends helping a few dogs has grown into a strong team of volunteers and fosters. For more than 27 years, that dedication has helped give dogs in need a second chance at safe, loving homes.
