Welcome To Desert Dogs Rescue!
Our organization was founded in 2003 by Kim DeFlaminis. Kim has dedicated her life to rescue abused and abandoned cats and dogs. At times, we rescue animals that have health problems or disabilities. For these animals, Kim has created a Sanctuary where they will be able to live for the remainder of their lives.
We are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization. We find good, loving homes for abused and abandoned cats and dogs. We also rescue animals from local agencies that are on the euthanization (E) list. We provide vaccinations to cats and dogs and education to the public on the importance of spaying and neutering your pet. We are a rescue for life organization. If at any time your adopted pet does not bond well with your family, they can be returned to our us for new placement.
Below are forms for our organization. They are in PDF format and require that you have Adobe Reader on your computer.

"Hunter"
Hunter was found tied to a fence for around a week with no food or water. He was rescued and is now doing great. He loves to play and cuddle.
If you are interested in Hunter, please contact our organization to set up an appointment. His adoption fee is $100.
Desert Dogs Rescue is in need of donations. Donations can be monitary or items we can use. We can use items like:
Gently used blankets, towels, any medical supplies (IV fluids etc..)(we care for parvo victims for families who cannot afford care), chew toys, indoor kennels, collars, leashes, grooming supplies, any items that can be used for yard sales, building supplies, kennel fencing etc., storage containers.
Desert Dogs Rescue is now set up to do microchiping of your pets whether or not you adopt from us. The cost is only $40 per pet.
If you also have a stray pet that you would like to have scanned, please contact us and we would be happy to do that for you at no charge.
Pet Safety - Halloween Safety Tips
1. No tricks, no treats: That bowlful of candy is for trick-or-treaters, not for Scruffy and Fluffy. Chocolate in all forms can be very dangerous for dogs and cats, and tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed. If you suspect your pet has ingested a potentially dangerous substance, please call your veterinarian.
2. Popular Halloween plants such as pumpkins and decorative corn are considered to be relatively nontoxic, yet they can produce gastrointestinal upset should pets ingest them. Intestinal blockage could even occur if large pieces are ingested.
3. Keep wires and cords from electric lights and other decorations out of reach of your pets. If chewed, your pet could experience damage to his mouth from shards of glass or plastic, or receive a possibly life-threatening electrical shock.
4. A carved pumpkin certainly is festive, but do exercise extreme caution if you choose to add a candle. Pets can easily knock a lit pumpkin over and cause a fire. Curious kittens especially run the risk of getting burned or singed by candle flames.
5. Dress-up can be a big mess-up for some pets. Please don't put your dog or cat in a costume UNLESS you know he or she loves it (yup, a few pets are real hams!). For pets who prefer their “birthday suits,” however, wearing a costume can cause undue stress.
6. If you do dress up your pet, make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe. It should not constrict the animal's movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe or bark. Keep a look out for small, dangling, or easily chewed-off pieces on the costume that your pet could choke on.
7. Take a closer look at your pet’s costume and make sure it does not obstruct their vision in any way. Even the sweetest animals can get snappy when they can't see.
8. All but the most social dogs and cats should be kept in a separate room during peak trick-or-treat visiting hours. Too many strangers can be scary and stressful for pets.
9. When opening the door for trick-or-treaters, take care that your cat or dog doesn't dart outside.
10. IDs, please! Always make sure your dog or cat has proper identification. If for any reason your pet escapes and become lost, a collar and tags and/or a microchip increase the chances that he or she will be returned to you.
