Our Mission

Every year in the US alone, 390,000 dogs are euthanised in shelters. We want to rescue unloved and unwanted dogs who are at risk and provide them with training and a loving family environment so that they can live full and happy lives either with us or in their forever homes.

Hello! We're Amy & Ian Spandow.

We founded Spandow House after volunteering for several years as a foster home in the SF Bay Area.

In 2021 we moved to our new home near Grass Valley. We are continuously developing the land into a paradise for dogs where we will provide a safe & happy home for as many as possible.

Currently our fosters have 3 fenced acres to roam, explore and play. We have plans to fence all 9 acres and add a play & rehab pool.

We stand against the neglect or mis-treatment of all animals and defend dogs who have no say in their destiny.

We Rescue... Rehabilitate.. Rehome..

Our Method

Our method is to introduce our rescues to our pack and let them be dogs. We have a very savvy pack who understand that animals joining our home are here for a reason. We believe the company of confident dogs and loving humans can rehabilitate almost any abuse or neglect in all cases.

We allow new dogs space and time, as simple as that. We show affection to our own dogs and the new foster typically comes to us within a few hours, or days. Extreme cases have taken months to allow affection or contact, and that’s just fine with us.

Our goal is to gently introduce nervous or abused dogs into a loving family environment so they can be prepared for their forever homes. We train all our fosters so they have basic commands and will sleep happily in a crate overnight. Our home has dog-savvy cats and most rescues will be adjusted to living with cats.
