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!

Update on Faith

We wanted to give an update on Faith.

Faith had her surgery at Lake Elsinore Animal Hospital. Thank you to Dr. Carrillo and Dr. Panza. Also, thank you to all of the staff, who helped to care for her after her surgery.

Faith is pictured below with the staff of Lake Elsinore Animal Hospital.

The picture below on the right is with Faith's foster mom. Her foster mom is planning to adopt her once she has been spayed. This last surgery is scheduled for today.

We are so grateful that she will be loved and cared for.

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.

SPOTLIGHT ON: RFSC Rescue Center

We continue to make improvements at our Rescue Center. We sincerely appreciate all of the donations that we have received to date.

Some of our current projects are:

Improving existing buildings so that dogs can be housed more comfortably and safely indoors.
Building additional play yards and improving the existing ones so that every dog will have quality time outdoors daily.
Building shelters in the play yards that will offer protection from the weather.
Sturdy dog kennels for indoor and outdoor runs.

RFSC is truly in need of funds to help get the much needed work finished at our new facility. We are hoping there will be some angels to help us improve our new facility.

Additionally, donated funds would help with the following:

1. Creating a larger space for our indoor cattery.
2. A remodel of our entire grooming room including bathtubs, tables etc.
3. Purchasing a large capacity commercial washer and dryer. (Hanging blankets, bedding, towels etc. out to dry is a costly and inefficient use of time.)
4. Purchasing commercial quality indoor and outdoor paint.
5. Purchasing sealant for existing floors.
6. Improving lighting throughout the facility.
