Making A Difference

  Sutter Buttes Canine Rescue is an independent donor supported 501(c)3 non-profit organization, run by committed volunteers and guided by our founder, Yvonne Moore.  We are a NO-KILL rescue.  We provide care for abandoned and homeless animals until we can place them into permanent, loving homes.  We are dedicated to providing humane treatment and quality of life for the animals. The primary objective and purpose of this organization is to: 

• Establish and maintain a shelter that provides a safe environment for homeless and abandoned dogs and puppies.  
• To spay, neuter, vaccinate and provide medical attention needed for the animals. 
• To place our canines in safe, loving and permanent homes with responsible pet owners.  
• To accomplish this within 30 days of the animals arriving, if possible, due to the fact that Sutter Buttes Canine Rescue is not a sanctuary.  

Sutter Buttes Canine rescue was founded by Yvonne Moore in 1999.  At that time, her goal was to place one hundred abandoned, homeless animals into loving permanent homes.  We have far surpassed that number.  To date, the rescue has placed over 6800 animals into permanent homes.  In 2008 we  constructed a brand new facility which houses 18-20 dogs and puppies at a time.  The shelter has roomy indoor/outdoor kennels, a play yard, grooming room, office, reception area and quarantine area.  That same year, we also opened a Thrift Shop, located in Yuba City, where the proceeds directly benefit our shelter.  

Our mission is to control the over-populations of canines in our area, by spaying and neutering all animals before being released into the community.

• To educate the public on the importance of vaccines and altering their pets.
• To work closely with local animal shelters to place adoptable dogs.
• To network with other rescues and exchange information on adopting certain breeds.
• To provide a necessary service to homeless and abandoned canines in the three surrounding communities that otherwise is not available.
