North Star Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area dedicated to the welfare of small companion animals. We are the only rescue organization in the San Francisco Bay Area specifically dedicated to all species of pet rodents and rabbits. North Star Rescue provides a variety of services to help small companion animals, including: Rescue and Foster Services for California Shelters, Public Adoptions of Small Animals, Behavioral Advice, Educational Events and More. Unlike a traditional shelter, North Star Rescue has no central location. We are a network of foster homes run by dedicated volunteers who have united under the common goal of keeping small animals from being euthanized when they have nowhere else to go.

Our website offers information on how you can adopt your next small pet from North Star Rescue, care information for a variety of species, and up to date information on current projects with our rescue and news about small animal welfare. Thank you for taking the time to visit, and remember...

Make Adoption your First Option!

A Very Special Thanks to the Best Vet We've Ever Had

We are sad to share the news that Dr. Chuck Galvin of the Veterinary Hospital of Ignacio and Imaginarium will be retiring and will not be returning to the practice of animal medicine. Dr. Galvin has decided to continue to focus on boarding for animals of many species and the production of his art (art by Stonefox) which has been featured at Marin Galleries and can be seen through every detail of the magical place that he operated his Veterinary Practice.

During the years that we worked with Dr. Galvin, he treated hundreds of animals from our rescue, doing everything from basic check-ups to life saving emergency saving emergency surgeries on animals that other vets had no hope for. His level of commitment has been unsurpassed in anyone we have worked with before or since, and we know he will be greatly missed by the hundreds of clients who entrusted their beloved pets to his talented care.

From the whole North Star Team and the hundreds of animals you helped us save, thank you for everything, Dr. Galvin. From you, we learned to always keep our faces to the sunshine, and to enjoy tomorrow's past.
