Retrievers and Friends of Southern California

Welcome to Retrievers & Friends of Southern California, Inc. (RFSC) We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization devoted to finding homes for Golden Retrievers & Labrador Retrievers, as well as other breeds of dogs as space allows.

Can you provide a foster home or forever home to a pet in need? Heed the call to make a difference by opening your heart and your home, today!

Roxy

This is Roxy. Roxy is ready for a fresh start and a new life. In the past, Roxy has had many litters.

She only knew abuse, loneliness and neglect.

She was rescued in September 2016. She was mostly skin and bones at that time. Her teeth were deteriorated from eating gritty food off the ground.

You can see Roxy's transformation below. You can see that she has filled out and is now happy.

Roxy is a sweet dog. We estimate that she is about 6 - 7 years old. She is smart and friendly. Roxy likes other dogs but would also do well as an only dog.

Thank you to Neighbor's Newspaper


We would like to send a big thank you to Neighbors Newspaper and Diane Simones for featuring our pets in their newspaper. For many years, Diane has been providing RFSC with a place in their paper to spotlight our pets for adoption. Her caring and generosity has contributed to many happy adoptions. Thank you Diane! We appreciate you very much.

Update on our Rescue Center

	We have been very busy working at the rescue center. Here are some pictures of new artificial turf and a beautiful new awning. The awning was installed last week and it will provide more protection from the weather for our dogs. The photo on the left below is the awning being built. The photo on the right is the completed awning.

Custom Birdhouses

One of our volunteers, Jolinda, makes custom birdhouses and donates the proceeds of her sales to RFSC.

She makes each birdhouse individually from recycled items. Jolinda designs each birdhouse herself. Each birdhouse is special and unique.

Jolinda attends artist fairs such as the Fallbrook Avocado Festival and has an ETSY store called BirdHousesforTheDogs. She has sent birdhouses all over the United States.

She takes special orders and can include the customers own personal treasures on the birdhouses. Her customers are delighted to know that their purchase goes to help RFSC.

Jolinda and her husband have adopted several Golden Retrievers from RFSC. They currently have Otis who is 3 years old and Grace who is 6.
