Rescued or Stray Dalmatians that Need Homes


If you have rescued a Dalmatian or found a stray Dalmatian, we will provide you with assistance in locating a new home for the dog, however we usually do not have space to take the dog in because of lack of foster homes. In the case of stray dogs, you must try to locate the owner by placing free "found" ads in your local newspaper, putting up flyers and putting up a notice at your local shelter. If no owner has come forward after about two weeks, the assumption can be made that the dog has been abandoned.

Because of massive overbreeding of Dalmatians by backyard breeders, 100+ Dalmatians are passing through Southern California's over 60 shelters every month and over 90% of them are being killed. If you are unable to keep the dog yourself, though, it's better that the dog go to a shelter rather than being left loose on the streets.

We greatly appreciate people who have taken on the responsibility of trying to find a new home for a rescued or stray Dalmatian and will do our best to assist you. For available internet resources and other rescues, please go to Page Two.
