The Rescue Train is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization recognized as one of the most innovative no-kill animal welfare groups in Los Angeles County. We are a hands-on, hard-working group of advocates who willingly labor in the trenches of our city and county shelters. We are a voice for animals, fight pet overpopulation, and assist pet owners in underserved neighborhoods. With boots on the ground and love in our hearts, we are dedicated to making the world a kinder, more compassionate place. We achieve our goals through our key initiatives:

Many of our life-saving programs help lay a foundation of lasting change through community outreach. Our Keep Your Pet Project and Pet Pantry prevent animals from entering Los Angeles City shelters by providing resources to low income, senior citizens, veterans and homeless pet owners. We offer free spay and neuter to help solve pet overpopulation at the root of the problem. Our Pet Care Clinics go into areas of poverty to provide resources that includes vaccines, grooming, referrals to vet care, pet food and supplies. With the help of volunteers and supporters have provided services to over 19,000 animals.

This annual fundraiser helps us keep rolling down the tracks of saving animals’ lives all year long.
