Let’s Chat About Our Paws
Whether you're looking to open your heart to a new family member, want to lend a hand through volunteering, or wish to support our high-need rescues with a donation, we'd love to hear from you. Every inquiry brings us one step closer to another happy tail.

Visit Us By Appointment
To keep our foster home peaceful, visits are scheduled in advance. We are a private rescue based in the San Diego area, ensuring every Stinky Paw gets the personal care they deserve.
Common Questions
How does the adoption process work?
Our process includes an online application and a meet-and-greet. We also conduct a home check to ensure a safe environment for our pups.
Can I foster if I have other pets?
Yes! We often rescue dogs that do well with other animals. We will work with you to ensure a proper introduction and match your home with a dog that fits your dynamic.
Where do my donations go?
Donations are primarily used for veterinary treatments, specialized rehabilitation, and essential supplies for our high-need rescue dogs.
Do you have a physical shelter location?
We rescue and rehabilitate from our home. Meet and greet visits are scheduled by appointment at a neutral location or the foster/adoption home.
What happens if an adoption doesn't work out?
We are committed to our dogs for life. If an adoption is no longer a fit, the dog must be returned to Stinky Paws, and we will work to find them a more suitable environment.
