About The Dog Squad

The Dog Squad Rescue is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3), nonprofit group, founded in 2007.

TDS works closely with local shelters to find foster and permanent homes for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages.

Our Founders

The Dog Squad was founded by Caroline Wright and Sue Barbato. While volunteering at the Carlsbad shelter, they saw the need for an all-breed rescue that would take dogs regardless of size, breed and age. Particularly, they noticed that few groups take larger, mixed breed dogs and older dogs. They decided to step in and fill this void.

After just one year of operation, TDS has made a significant difference, having rescued more dogs from the local shelter than any other group. TDS has also improved adoption rates by taking shelter dogs to adoption events two to three times a month. We take dogs that are older or dogs that are being overlooked in the shelter environment.
