Mission
Our goal is to end pet abandonment and homelessness through community outreach, education, and advocacy. Our belief is that no animal should be left to suffer. We are an all-breed search and rescue organization that fosters adoptions 7 days a week. We believe everyone was placed on this earth with a mission to fulfill; ours is to save animals. Founded by Jeanette Portocarrero in 2011, Lost & Found Dogs USA Network is the only rescue center in Kern County, California that participates in active search and rescue by obtaining animals in need from the field. By focusing on all aspects of rescue, we go beyond search and rescue by providing community education, intervention for pet welfare, adoptions, rescue training, pet retention, and more. We live on-site with the dogs we rescue and are committed to the hard work these animals deserve. We are grateful you’ve found us and hope you’ll join us in the movement of changing the face of pet rescue.
