Foster a Rescue

Fostering is
  FREE and FUN! 


We not only provide you with everything you need to take care of one of our rescues, but the experience is SO fulfilling. By placing one animal into a foster home, you allow us to save another. We are always in need of foster parents.

Details Very Important Pooches (VIPs) of San Diego: It’s time to prepare for the go-to doggie event of the year at The Wine Pub, which raises funds for a local animal rescue nonprofit that works on both sides of the border. New this year, the stylish event includes a dress-up competition, complete with a panel of judges. On Sunday, Aug. 13, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., The Wine Pub will roll out the red carpet (literally) and “pup”arazzi will photograph dozens of San Diego’s socialite pups and their humans for the 4th Annual Very Important Pooches. Four-legged friends in tuxes and dresses will enjoy an evening of pampering at The Pub, complete with bottle-bowl service and gourmet doggie treats, including dishes of chicken and wild rice, “pupsicles” and homemade, all-natural dog treats. Very Important Pooches will welcome its dog-loving neighbor, Good Dog Pet Outfitters, which provides real food for San Diego’s feathered and furred friends.

  • Cats 7 months old or older: $50
  • Puppies & dogs: check each dog's individual profile for the adoption fee
