For 36 years, the mission of Old English Sheepdog Rescue of Southern California, Inc. is to place healthy but unwanted Old English Sheepdogs in loving homes. Over 2700 Old English Sheepdogs have been helped by our rescue program since 1989. We cover all of California, Arizona, and Southern Nevada.

We place 2-4 Old English Sheepdogs in loving homes every month.

Circumstances can change and owners sometimes need to make the difficult decision that it is in the best interest of their dog to be placed in a new home. Please call or email us to discuss your dog and your situation. We can help!

Open your heart to a Shaggy Dog!

OES Rescue of Southern California, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit all volunteer organization. Our “area” includes all of California, Arizona and Southern Nevada.

Typically we place 2-4 Old English Sheepdogs per month, we have no way of knowing when a rescue dog will come in the program. Please fill out an adoption form to be placed on the waiting list. When an appropriate dog becomes available for you to meet, you will be contacted to set up a home visit.

When an Old English Sheepdog enters our program, they spend the first 48-72 hours with our veterinarians. When the veterinarian feels that the dog is ready for adoption, the dog is spay/neutered, micro-chipped and given all shots. Our rescue dogs are also groomed prior to adoption.
