Mission Statement
NorCal Freedom for Paws’ (NCFFP) mission is to find “furever” homes for all surrendered pets to our Rescue. We are here when owners lose their ability to care for their animals and when the shelters or breeders are overwhelmed. We offer a judgment-free zone to all people and circumstances of surrendering beloved pets, breeding animals, abandoned or unwanted. We match these animals to potential adopters. We find loving fosters in the interim of adoption.
We are always looking for support in foster care and have CURRENT OPENINGS. If you are interested, please get in touch with
Barbara Reagan at 916-582-2771 or text her.
When bringing your new family member home, we follow the 3/3/3 rule. Remember, give them a chance!

Resources for Adopters
NCFFP offers a Puppy Guide for poodles and goldendoodles designed to give you valuable information on your new family member.
If you've adopted from NCFFP, please join our Facebook page "NorCal Freedom for Paws Alumni" to share updates on your pup!
Puppy TV Training
We highly recommend DogTV or puppy relaxation on YouTube to help create a calm, peaceful environment for your puppy or as a bonding opportunity! Puppy relaxation TV can help with separation anxiety for your new puppy.

At NCFFP, we LOVE Brandon McMillan! His YouTube training videos are very informative and valuable for self-training your pet.

Meet Dorothy: A True Fighter in Need of Help
Dorothy’s journey is one of incredible strength and resilience. Saved from death row while pregnant, she experienced safety and love for the first time in her life. Just
one day after her rescue, Dorothy went into labor, bringing 12 beautiful puppies over 20 exhausting hours into the world.
Tragically, two of her little ones didn’t survive, but the remaining nine are fighting hard, just like their mama. Dorothy, however, is emaciated, and her body has been through so much. She needs urgent medical attention, proper nutrition, and ongoing care to keep her and her puppies thriving.
We can’t do this without your help! Donations are needed!
🐾 Veterinary care for Dorothy and her pups
🐾 Puppy formula, food, and supplies
🐾 Medications and ongoing monitoring
WE NEED TO RAISE $800 IMMEDIATELY FOR HER VETERINARY CARE NOW. PLEASE HELP
Dorothy’s story is both heartbreaking and hopeful. In the last two days, we raised nearly $300, but we are still far away from our goal and what is needed.
For support with vet care and supplies
Wish list for supplies:
puppy formula, food, blankets, and cleaning supplies so supporters can directly contribute. Community outreach: Share social media updates and photos of Dorothy and her pups. Many people respond to stories like this and want to help.
