Nestled in the heart of the Coachella Valley, Rescue Lyfe is more than just a dog rescue organization — it’s a movement fueled by love, determination, and the unwavering belief that every dog deserves a second chance. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned and abused dogs, giving them the lives they’ve always deserved. But beyond that, we’re here to inspire our community to join us in making a meaningful difference.
Who We Are
Rescue Lyfe’s journey began with a simple yet profound realization: the Coachella Valley has an alarming number of dogs left to fend for themselves. Our founder, Cali, discovered her passion for saving dogs while volunteering at the Humane Society of the Desert. What began as a heartfelt mission to rescue abandoned dogs in the desert evolved into a full-fledged organization that has since saved hundreds of lives. Each rescue is a testament to the power of compassion and the collective effort of people who care.
Our work goes beyond just finding homes for these animals. We focus on their physical and emotional healing, ensuring every dog we rescue is placed in a loving environment that meets their unique needs. Every wagging tail, every joyful bark, and every adoption is a reminder of why we do what we do.
Why We’re Passionate
Each dog we rescue has a story — some are heartbreaking, but all are filled with hope. We’ve seen dogs transform from scared, malnourished shadows of themselves into happy, confident companions. This transformation fuels our passion and reminds us of the importance of our work. These animals give so much love despite the challenges they’ve faced, and they inspire us to keep going, even when the work gets tough.
Ten Ways You Can Become a Better Animal Supporter
Adopt, Don’t Shop: Every adoption saves two lives: the dog you bring home and the one that takes its place in a shelter. By choosing to adopt, you give a deserving animal a second chance at happiness.
Foster a Dog in Need: Fostering is one of the most impactful ways to support rescues. By providing a temporary home, you give dogs a safe space to heal and prepare for adoption while opening up space for us to save more lives.
Volunteer Your Time: Whether walking dogs, helping at events, or assisting with administrative tasks, volunteers are the backbone of rescue organizations. Your time can make a world of difference.
Donate to Support Rescue Efforts: Every dollar counts. Donations help us cover veterinary care, food, and other essentials needed to rescue and care for dogs. Even small contributions can lead to big changes.
Be an Advocate: Spread the word about the importance of rescue work. Share posts on social media, educate others about responsible pet ownership, and encourage friends and family to support their local rescues.
Spay or Neuter Your Pets: Prevent overpopulation and reduce the number of animals in shelters by ensuring your pets are spayed or neutered. This simple step can save countless lives.
Support Local Shelters and Rescues: Even if you can’t adopt or foster, donating supplies like food, blankets, or toys to local shelters can provide much-needed support.
Practice Responsible Pet Ownership: Make sure your pets are properly trained, microchipped, and vaccinated. Being a responsible owner helps keep pets safe and happy.
Report Animal Abuse: If you see or suspect animal abuse or neglect, report it to local authorities or animal control. Your vigilance can save lives.
Educate Yourself and Others: Learn about animal welfare issues and share that knowledge with others. Raising awareness is a powerful tool for creating positive change.
