Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue is a Newport Beach-based animal rescue organization. Our mission is to help as many homeless dogs and cats as possible find loving and compassionate adoptive families. About Us Launched in 2021, Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue is a Newport Beach-based 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization. We are entirely foster-based and are no-kill. Our mission is to help as many homeless dogs as possible find loving and compassionate adoptive families. We accomplish this by being good stewards of donations, inspiring dedicated volunteers and fosters, providing education on responsible pet ownership, and being advocates for each animal that comes under our care. Our goal is to make a positive impact in the lives of as many animals as we can. Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue is named in honor of our founder's late dog, Diamond. She was a fantastic foster sister to numerous dogs and was a friend to every animal she met. It is our hope that many more animals in need will get to be one of Diamond's friends.

Want to adopt a pet from Diamond's Friends? Here are the details about our adoption process. Adoption Process Interested in adopting one of Diamond's Friends? Here's what you need to know! 1. All Adopters Must Complete an Application We require all prospective adopters to complete an adoption application (accessible here ). We do allow applicants to request specific animals, but our adoption applications help us make sure we are matching you with the best animal for your home. Please note that most of our dogs have restrictions in terms of the adoption distance we will consider for them. We are a Newport Beach-based organization that is 100% volunteer-run, and our founder works a full-time job in addition to running the rescue/handling all adoptions (including transporting dogs to meet and greets/doing home checks). As you can imagine, it's a lot to juggle! Consequently, we prioritize adopting out our dogs in Orange County to ensure we can provide adequate support to facilitate the long-term success of our adoptions. We also like to keep our dogs close in case an adoption doesn't work out so that we can take them back into our care quickly if needed. 2. Adoption Fees We do charge adoption fees. All our animals come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped (unless it is not medically safe for them to receive that type of care). They have received preventative medication for fleas, ticks, and heartworms. Some of our animals have been transported in from other cities or states. Others have had lab work done or other medical needs taken care of. All of this costs us money, and our adoption fees help us recover some of the costs we incur helping these animals so that we can help others in need. Our adoption fees vary based on the animal's age and medical needs we've treated him/her for. NOTE: If our veterinarian deems it not in an animal's best interest to spay/neuter them prior to their adoption, we require our adopters to sign a legally binding spay/neuter agreement in order to adopt. If you are not willing to abide by this agreement, we will not adopt allow you to adopt the dog. This agreement will include a spay/neuter deposit that is fully refundable once the dog is spayed/neutered. 3. Meet and Greet Once your application is approved, a member of our team will reach out to schedule a meet and greet as well as a home check. 4. Finalize Adoption If the meet and greet and home check goes well and you'd like to move forward with adopting, you will pay the adoption fee and sign an adoption contract as well as the spay/neuter agreement if required.

Want to help foster a dog? Here's how you can get started with Diamond's Friends Pet Rescue! Become a Foster Pawrent Diamond's Friends is an entirely foster-based rescue. We can only save as many animals as we have foster homes for. By becoming a foster pawrent, you help us save lives. We cannot do this work without YOU! Fostering is FREE, and we provide everything you need. You just provide a safe place for an animal in need to stay until an adoptive home can be found. To become a foster, Fill Out Our Foster Questionnaire Here! Fostering FAQs 1. What supplies do fosters receive? We give you everything you need! This includes: Crate, bed, and crate bowl Leash, collar, ID, and Airtag Food, food bowls, water bowls, Treats Toys and chew bones Shampoo Nature's Miracle Cleaner Probiotics (if requested) Baby gate or puppy pen (if requested) Potty pads (if requested Harness (if requested) Anything else you request! 2. What support do fosters receive? At Diamond's Friends, we are committed to supporting our fosters throughout their foster journey. We never want them to feel like they are on their own! Fosters receive daily check-ins from the foster coordinator. Training and behavioral assistance is provided as needed. They also have access to 24/7 support via phone if needed. 3. Do you have a foster manual? Yes! Click here to download it . 4. Where can fosters be located? Because of the level of support we provide our fosters, we do restrict fostering locations to Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and Huntington. We will occasionally consider fosters around the UCI area as well. Unfortunately, we cannot provide adequate support to fosters who live outside of those areas. 5. How long do I have to foster for? We prefer fosters who can commit to fostering until their pup is adopted. Our average length of stay for our adoptable dogs is around 40 days because we prioritize finding the right home for a dog as opposed to moving them along quickly. Some dogs get adopted faster, others take longer. However, sometimes we will accept temporary foster homes if we have long-term fosters who are traveling and need someone to take their foster dog temporarily. 6. Will I have to transport my foster dog to the vet, adoption events, or meet and greets? While it is extremely helpful to us when we have fosters who can help transport their pups to and from appointments, this is not a requirement to foster for us. 7. Do I get to choose my foster dog? We will only match you with a foster dog we think will be a good fit for your home, family, schedule, lifestyle, and other pets. That said, we do make sure you are ok with the dog we are placing in your home prior to drop off. 8. Who pays for my foster dog's supplies and medical needs? We do! Diamond's Friends covers the cost of whatever your foster dog needs. 9. How do I know my foster dog doesn't have an illness my current dog could get? Sadly, we cannot make any guarantees that a foster dog is completely healthy. That said, most of the ailments we see in dogs coming from our local shelter (i.e. kennel cough, giardia, and worms) are treatable and have manageable risk levels if you don't let dogs eat/drink from the same bowls, play with the same toys, and you pick up poop quickly. We can also mitigate the risk to your dog by matching you with a pup from a partner that tends to send us fewer pups with highly communicable illnesses (these dogs primarily come from the Hawaiian islands, so they can't fly if they have any type of URI). 10. Can I foster a dog who is already trained? We cannot make any guarantees about the level of training any dog has had. Most of our dogs come from shelter environments and will likely need at least some training when they enter a new home. However, we will occasionally take in owner surrenders that we have a better idea of their level of training. We'd be happy to try to match you with an owner surrendered pup, but we don't take these pups in as often as we take in dogs from kill shelters. 11. I have a question not answered here. Where can I ask it? You can contact us here !
