 Running with the big dogs: Encinitas rescuers caring for animals displaced by Katrina They're big. They can be messy. And they're not for everybody. "These are what we consider dominant or power breeds," said Andrea Jarrell of Encinitas. "They require some specific evaluation and training before they go into a home. They require a certain type of experienced ownership." Jarrell helped found Operation K9 Rescue in 2002, and since then the group has found homes for about 300 mastiffs, she said.

Operation K9 Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Education/Legislation/Rescue organization. Operation K9 Rescue is a rescue organization whose objective is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome the abused, neglected and abandoned American Bulldogs, Rare Mastiffs and Bulldog breeds. The Rare Mastiffs include such breeds as the Neapolitan Mastiff, Tosa Inu, Cane Corso, Dogue De Bordeaux, Dogo Argentino, South African Boerboel, Tibetan Mastiff, Canary Dog and the Fila Brasileiro. As the only Tosa (Japanese Mastiff) rescue in the United States and the West Coast representative for American Bulldog rescue, we take pride in finding loving forever homes for the dogs in our program. We aim to educate the public and dog owners as to the care, training and requirements of owning one of these breeds. Operation K9 Rescue believes that through education, we are able to reduce the number of dogs euthanized or surrendered to shelters each year due to curable behavior problems. In effect, improving the quality of life for dogs and their families. Established in 2001, we have rescued and found homes for hundreds of dogs with volunteer and community support. We are a 100% volunteer-based organization that offers a variety of public education programs, such as our "Safety First Program" (dog safety program for children and adults), our breed-specific education events held a couple times a month, and our free weekly obedience training for our volunteers and rescue owners who wish to participate. We also work closely with legislators to educate and fight (BSL) Breed Specific Legislation, and the biggest portion of our effort is to rescue our beloved breeds. | |||||||
