TLC K9 Rescue

Hello, my name is Suzanne Mikhail. I am the Founder of TLC K9 Rescue.

TLC K9 Rescue is a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in Escondido, Ca. I am dedicated to helping dogs in need throughout San Diego County and beyond. My love for animals is immeasurable. My heart truly aches for these beautiful dogs that have been abandoned in California shelters, homeless on the street, and the severely injured and malnourished street dogs of Mexico.

I have made it my mission for the past 40 years to heal the abandoned, abused, sick and injured dogs with God's grace and guidance. I work hard and tirelessly to give these precious souls a second chance at life. I provide them with quality food, excellent medical care, comfort, compassion and training. I find them loving environments through our fostering program until they find their forever home that will love and cherish them for the rest of their lives.

Pleading for continued support and help to continue my mission and save more lives.

Even though my rescue is foster based, and all my hard work is funded solely by donations from my wonderful and generous supporters. I cannot continue my life's work without more help. It has been a challenge these day finding temporary foster homes and funding/grants have been very limited.

I need to be able to accommodate the dogs I have committed to and take care of their medical needs until they are healthy and happy to transition into their foster and/or forever homes.

My goal is to open a small facility so that I can house my dogs and puppies safely without the stress of worrying for their safety. I hope to one day buy or lease a property in the Escondido area that will make my vision a reality.

This space will serve as TLC K9 Rescue's center which will help me with my mission to rescue even more precious souls. It will allow me to bring in the pups, quarantine them, get health checks and then quickly find them a foster and/or forever home. 

To be honest I'm praying every day for an angel to help me in this endeavor and maybe even donate a safe location for my dogs.

My goals are:

  1. To create a temporary haven with wonderful animal loving volunteers to help me care for the unwanted, abandoned, injured and weak dogs that I take under my wings.
  2. Partner with multiple shelters so I can help them with overcrowding and save them from the inevitable.
  3. Partner with veterinarians, specialists and vet technicians to help provide Low-cost medical treatments, surgeries, vaccines, spays and neuters.
  4. To have low cost or free vaccinations, spay and neuter clinics for the public at least 3 days a week.
  5. Hold adoption events and help other legitimate private animal loving rescues get their dog's adopted too.
  6. Workshops to help owners that have lost a pet(s) navigate the shelter system and work with pet recovery professionals to find their lost pet(s) and help good Samaritans that have found a pet(s).
  7. Support low-income and homeless pet owners with pet food and supplies, vet care, etc., through donations and grants.
  8. Connect with local school districts to teach children about raising pets for life and bring awareness and educate them on the importance of vaccinating, spaying and neutering all pets.

Please help by supporting my mission to save more lives. I know my dreams can become reality.
