Our Story

Ollie’s Angels was founded in honor of a very special dog named Ollie, whose love, loyalty, and spirit left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him.

After Ollie passed, his legacy inspired a mission to advocate for animals who are often overlooked or misunderstood, while also supporting the people working tirelessly to help them.

In the early days, Ollie’s Angels focused primarily on education, outreach, and connecting pet owners with resources. Through this work, we began building relationships with shelters, volunteers, and rescue organizations throughout Southern California.

As we spent more time inside the shelter system, it became clear that many incredible dogs were running out of time simply because there weren’t enough fosters, resources, or advocates available to help them.

So we stepped in to help fill that gap.

Today, Ollie’s Angels operates as a foster-based dog rescue, working alongside local shelters to help dogs leave overcrowded environments and enter foster homes where they can decompress, receive individualized care, and prepare for adoption.

But rescue is only one part of the mission.

We remain deeply committed to prevention and community support, helping pet owners access critical resources like low-cost spay/neuter services, training support, veterinary care, and guidance during difficult situations. By supporting families and addressing challenges early, we can often prevent animals from entering the shelter system in the first place.

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We work alongside shelters, rescues, volunteers, and community members who share the same goal: creating better outcomes for animals.

Ollie’s Angels exists because of the people who care enough to act — fosters who open their homes, volunteers who give their time, adopters who choose rescue, and supporters who believe that every life matters.

And through it all, Ollie’s spirit continues to guide the mission.

Because every dog deserves their angels.
