Hit A Problem Spot? Our hope is that we can provide the assistance you need to make it work for you to keep your Dal in your home. If YOU are willing to put in some extra effort to resolve whatever problems exist, we'd love to help. Please send us an e-mail. Begin by completing the Placement Profile. You can download the profile and print it out by following this link: Placement Profile

The Placement Profile will help us to determine whether the issues you are facing can be resolved through some type of intervention (i.e., training, modifications to physical surroundings). If you really MUST surrender . . . If you believe the problem(s) cannot be resolved or you are truly unable to keep your dog, we ask YOU, as a responsible pet owner, to make every effort to find a qualified home for your Dal. Completing the Profile will assist you in assessing the type of home your dog needs and the likelihood of its existence. Place and ad in your local papers, our guideline for writing the ad should help with this. To download and print out our guideline, follow this link: Guideline for Placing an Ad

When you get a response, you can use the Adoption Application (downloadable from the adoption page) to screen potential owners. However, if your Dalmatian has bitten or has a history of aggression, major health issues, including deafness or is over the age of eight, rehoming may not be the responsible or kind solution. Remember when trying to place your dog, every Dalmatian needs:          lots of love and exercise          to be allowed in and to sleep in the house          a proper diet (low in purines)          proper veterinary care and inoculations          qualified obedience training After you have made a serious effort at problem resolution or placement, if you still need our assistance, please call Laurie Isaacson at (510) 866-9258 or email norcaldalrescue@hotmail.com.
