VILLALOBOS IS MOVING! The biggest project we have EVER taken on is being done as we speak. Because of financial reasons and almost impossible new rules and regulations to deal with in Los Angeles County, Villalobos Rescue Center, after 18 years, is leaving California! We will split our organization up into two entities in two completely different states.
The Sanctuary aka the "Pit Bull Ponderosa" will be located in New Mexico where we were given (donated) a 50 acre ranch. This location will be used for our "lifers" (our unadoptables) to live out their lives in the peace and serenity of the high desert. We are in the preliminary stages of setting up this facility so we will soon be accepting volunteers as we make more progress. For a list of items we need for this location, please email our volunteer coordinator at: volunteer@vrcpitbull.com
Our new rescue/adoption facility is being set up in the exciting city of New Orleans, LA. At this time we are only open to the public on a very limited basis and by appointment only (for adoptions and to drop of donated items) Located in the 9th Ward, we hope to bring the much needed assistance to the overwhelming Pit Bull population as well as canine education and care to the residents of the area. As for volunteering, we could use assistance in transporting dogs (talk about an exciting road trip) and donations of crates and fold down cages. As you can imagine, the cost to move to both locations is way out of our budget so we are doing our best to get it done.
The Grand Opening of our new locations is set for March 2012.
WE HAVE TO BE MOVED OUT OF OUR CURRENT LOCATION BY DEC. 31st !!!!
