From 1990 through 2023 Wonder Dog Rescue rescued hundreds of Boston Terriers along with many small dogs of all ages and conditions in the Bay Area. In November, 2023 we moved adoption operations to Hudson New York, to be housed in at 329 Church Road. We've had wonderful success establishing a new rescue in Hudson which took in many California dogs thanks to the Marion & Richard Graham Foundation, the SouthWest Airlines Transport team, Sweet Briar Transport and Alaska Airlines, but we feel a strong pull to return to our work in California.
Thus, we are currently re-establishing a foster network in the Bay Area, Northern CA and the Central Valley. These dogs will be adopted primarily in California, and we will work with East Coast adopters as we are able.
If you have any questions about adopting or fostering you can contact us at wonderdogrescue.org/contact.
We are leaving Hudson on 12/31/2024. The Church Road location will reopen as a new rescue organization in 2025.
Wonder Dog’s current lifesaving mission is a synthesis of 30 years of rescue work, starting with a Boston Terrier rescue in San Francisco. As the organization grew, so also did our ability to help other dogs in need. Today, we rescue all types of small dogs, from 6 weeks to 16 years! All of our dogs live in a home environment while awaiting adoption. There they receive medical care and are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
In January 2020 we established a sanctuary in Sonoma county, allowing us to concentrate more closely on their quality of life and well being. We also adopted some companion farm animals who grace us with their antics and love!
