Helen Woodward Animal Center, California
Located on 12 acres of land, Helen Woodward Animal Center is a unique, private, non-profit organization in San Diego County that, for over 30 years, has been committed to the philosophy of people helping animals and animals helping people. We are a no-kill facility that receives no government funding and relies heavily on tax-deductible contributions from private donors to continue our life-saving mission.
Doesn’t this time of year just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

If you would like to recommend a rescue group for this list, please leave a comment below with the details and we’ll do our best to showcase it.
