Project Details
Foothill Dog Rescue is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to re-homing dogs from high-kill shelters and dogs from owners who can no longer care for them. Our committed volunteers work with local veterinarians, trainers, groomers, and boarding facilities to prepare our dogs to transition to their well-matched forever homes. We also provide after adoption support, information, and training services for our new owners. Our goal is to reduce the number of healthy, adoptable dogs, including pregnant dogs and those with puppies, whose time has run out at the shelter and place them in loving forever homes. We believe there are far too many wonderful dogs that end up in shelters through no fault of their own, and there are many wonderful people in our community that support our mission.

Participant Notes:

Our office hours are Mon-Wed-Fri from Noon to 3PM Meet and Greets can be arranged during these hours if someone would like to meet with one of our dogs and their foster can drop the dog off.

Sacramento Kings' Slamson will have the honor of making the first purchase at this year's Giving Machine located at Westfield Galleria at Roseville. Join Slamson as we LIGHT up the machine and let the giving begin on November 16 at 10:30am.

The Sacramento Kings inspire thousands with "Light the Beam!" Vivek Ranadive said "The Beam has become a Symbol of Hope & Success for Everyone!"

As part of a global "Light the World" campaign, The Giving Machines work with local and international charities allowing the public to purchase specific items that go directly to the charities. It provides those who receive the help, with Hope and Opportunities for Success.

We'd say we make a pretty good team working together to bless the Sacramento community and beyond!
