ARCHIE
Archie Bunker is
quite the gentleman! He is sweet, mellow, playful and fun. He gets
along great with dogs and loves people too (great with kids!) We would
prefer to place him in a household with another dog (females are
better...) He would be a great dog park dog and lovely companion. He is
about 4 years old but looks older because of his gray muzzle. Archie is
neutered, up to date on shots, micro-chipped, and is housebroken. This
dog is amazing so call us today at 415-519-3250.
One at a Time Rescue
is dedicated to helping "special needs" animals. We take them in to
foster homes where the healing process begins. We socialize the animals
and treat them medically, if necessary. When they are ready, we find
them forever homes.
The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in
this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog...He will kiss the hand
that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come
in encounter with the roughness of the world...When all other friends
desert, he remains.
Melissa Flower directs One
at a Time's small animal adoptions. She worked for twelve years as
the Volunteer Coordinator at SF Animal Care and Control and was instrumental
in developing the small animal adoption program there. Melissa is currently
recruiting adoption coordinators for guinea pigs, hamsters and mice.

Our organization is run solely on donations
and volunteer participation. All contributions are 100% tax-deductible.
Without the goodwill and caring nature of the people we work with,
we could not exist. We cannot save them all, but "one at a time" we are
making a difference.
One at a Time Rescue began in 2001
and is now a 501c3 (non-profit) organization. A San Francisco animal
control officer, Jen Richardson, originally founded the rescue group.
After seizing animals from horrific abuse and neglect situations, it did
not seem fair to her that many of these animals would then be put to sleep.
The legal holding period for most animals in shelters is just five days.
After that, if they can't pass a difficult behavior and medical exam,
they won't go up for adoption. Jen realized that for some of these animals,
five days was not nearly enough and they deserved a second chance. Eventually,
she resigned her position with the city to take on the non-profit full
force.
