Ozzies Pound Puppies
Our Mission
Ozzies Pound Puppies is an all breed dog rescue based in the East Bay Area CA. Our volunteers are committed to rescuing unwanted and abandoned dogs from the public and from shelters. Ozzies is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that receives no government funds. You can help make a difference for a shelter dog by fostering, adopting, volunteering or donating.
WHAT WE DO
Every day, hundreds of dogs are euthanized in shelters across the nation. City and county shelters are overrun with stray and surrendered dogs and have run out of space, this is why they have to euthanize dogs. Dogs are only given a short time to be adopted and then they get put down. Our Rescue will take in dogs that have run out of time at the shelter and find homes for them, thus freeing up shelter space and finding adoptable dogs a new family.
Adoption Policy
All dogs adopted are up to date on shots, dewormed, micro-chipped and fixed. We will assist in introductions to other family members, both human and furry ones. Our adoption fee is $300.00
