Pacific Rim Rescue

We are a committed group of dog lovers rescuing dogs and puppies from untenable conditions in countries of the Pacific Rim transitioning them to healthy, loving and preapproved adoptive homes in north America, elevating them from throwaway to valued family member.

In a perfect world shelters will be empty, there will be no need for dog rescues, until then we will do our best to secure safe and loving homes for dogs that need it, and minimize the population of dogs by mandatory spay and neuter of rescued dogs.

Goal One: Streamlined processes to aid us if effectively helping the most dogs possible with our resources.

Goal Two: Make the best use of donor funds and adoption fees.

Goal Three: Save a minimum 100 dogs per year form life as a shelter dog or euthanasia.

We are investing in ongoing behavioral dog training for one of our directors to be able to better serve our adopter parents in house, vs contracting with outside sources for dog training.

Internally, our core team recognized an issue within our group that was holding back communication and effectiveness. A decision was made to remove a board member in order to preserve the goodwill within the remaining group and ensure our effectiveness. We have been able to more fully understand and implement our strategies without the cancer that was prevailing. A painful but necessary step for growth. Externally, we have continued to learn how to use social media and other marketing strategies most effectively, enough so that we have been able to monetize our social media presence and intend to grow that in support of our mission going forward.
