Educate. Advocate. Rescue.

At Pits & Pals K9 Rescue, we believe every dog deserves a chance—and every story deserves a new chapter. Founded on compassion and community, we focus on saving and rehoming pit bulls and other overlooked dogs who too often fall through the cracks of traditional rescue systems.

We provide medical care, behavioral support, and a loving bridge between crisis and forever homes. Beyond rescue, we’re on a mission to reshape how people see these dogs: not as a stereotype, but as the loyal, goofy, deeply loving companions they are.

Through public education, fostering partnerships, and advocacy work, we aim to break cycles of neglect, promote responsible ownership, and make space for every underdog to be seen and celebrated.

About Us

Pits & Pals K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (status pending) located in Sacramento, CA. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place stray, neglected, and shelter dogs with loving, responsible companions. We do not discriminate on age, breed, or ease of placement. Rather, we choose dogs based on temperament and potential to be wonderful companions. Before each dog can be adopted, they are evaluated for temperament, sterilized, microchipped, and their shots are updated.

 

We are a fully volunteer-run and foster-based rescue. Adoption fees and donations are used to cover veterinary expenses, food, supplies, medication, and other necessary expenses. We rely on the support of our incredible fosters, volunteers, and donations from our generous community. Join us in our efforts to give these dogs a second chance at life and a loving forever home.
