About us
Pits & Pals K9 Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (status pending) located in Sacramento, CA. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and place stray, neglected, and shelter dogs with loving, responsible companions. We do not discriminate on age, breed, or ease of placement. Rather, we choose dogs based on temperament and potential to be wonderful companions. Before each dog can be adopted, they are evaluated for temperament, sterilized, microchipped, and their shots are updated.
We are a fully volunteer-run and foster-based rescue. Adoption fees and donations are used to cover veterinary expenses, food, supplies, medication, and other necessary expenses. We rely on the support of our incredible fosters, volunteers, and donations from our generous community. Join us in our efforts to give these dogs a second chance at life and a loving forever home.
Our Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
Hola! I’m Heidy and I’ve been a part of the rescue world for over 7 years. I’ve been building my career in Animal Medicine for 8, but my passion for animals has been apparent since I was young. I pride myself on being a devoted dog momma and an advocate for furry beings with paws.
Before Pits & Pals was formed, I was involved in a multitude of other rescues helping with anything from bottle babies to hospice seniors. I currently have 2 furry daughters, one of which is the inspiration for the pointy ears in our logo!
This rescue has been a long time coming and I’m so excited to be working with a marvelous group of ladies who have the same common goal; putting the welfare of animals first and hopefully helping them find their furever homes!
