History
In 1868, banker James Sloan Hutchinson founded the San Francisco SPCA on the city block that would become Rescue Row.[1] Other animal welfare organizations later followed suit.
In May 2014, the city of San Francisco officially renamed and inaugurated the city block as "Rescue Row".[2][3]
At the time of its inauguration, Rescue Row's residing organizations and their respective addresses were:[4]
- San Francisco Animal Care & Control, 1200 15th St.
- San Francisco SPCA, 201 Alabama St.
- Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, 255 Alabama St. (First and Second Floors)
- Northern California Family Dog Rescue, 255 Alabama St. (Third and Fourth Floors)
Events
On May 31, 2014, Rescue Row held a ribbon cutting ceremony,[2] hosting animal lovers and potential adopters. During that weekend, adoption fees were waived for all animals.[5] The co-president of the San Francisco SPCA, Dr. Jennifer Scarlett, was quoted as saying, “When people think of pet adoption in San Francisco, we want Rescue Row to be the first destination that comes to mind.”[6]
