About Us

Maltese & More Rescue is a small, compassionate dog rescue founded in 2015.

We are an all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing puppy mill, abandoned, and unwanted small dogs. Our volunteers and foster dogs are located within Southern California. Please note, we only accept foster and adoption applications from those located within San Diego.

We are funded solely by charitable donations, which go directly to the care and medical needs of the animals we rescue. Our mission is to work together as a group, and in conjunction with other animal rescue groups as well as the Department of Animal Services, to rehabilitate, medically treat, spay/neuter, foster, and place each animal we rescue into loving, quality forever homes.

We work to educate the public about the importance of spay/neuter and about proper and humane animal care.

Help Us Help Our Beloved Companions

We are funded 100% by the generosity of pet-lovers like you. We are a 501(c)(3) charity (# 81-1233956), so your donation may be partially or fully deductible; consult your tax professional for details.
