Bogey is only 2 yrs old and can’t believe his family abandoned him🥺

That’s what makes this hurt so much.

He is still looking for the family who left him and hopes every person who walks by is there for him. The truth is, that’s just the shelter staff because he’s being kept in a building out of public view…

Bogey should have years ahead of him. Instead, he was left behind, and now sits on death row waiting for strangers to decide if he matters enough to save.

He is a young, gorgeous, intelligent GSD/ Mal mix who needs the right person, real structure, and a real chance. He is social with dogs, seeks affection, and still responds to human connection even after being failed.

He needs a foster, rescue, or adopter TODAY.

🚨His final notice expires today 4/30 and he will be euthanized tomorrow 5/1🚨

Out-of-state adoptions are possible.

Bogey #A5766072 2yr Male Belg mali/shep mix 73 lbs.

Bogey can be Barrier reactive in the kennel but with correction and guidance, he is able to settle. He is easy to leash and handle overall, though he may pull strongly.

In the yard, Bogey is social with other dogs, engaging in play and responding to corrections when needed. He has a pushy play style and would do best with appropriate dog matches. He also seeks attention from handlers and enjoys interaction.

During handling, Bogey was tolerant of petting and showed no aggression, though he was slightly sensitive when his legs were handled.

On March 29, 2026, a female pedestrian was bitten on her buttocks by Bogey as she was walking past the dog owner’s property. He reportedly ran up behind her and bit her resulting in a puncture wound.

Needs Malinois-experienced foster for 3–4 months or responsible adopter (anywhere in the U.S to the right home) before tomorrow morning.

If you can foster or responsibly adopt Bogey, pls contact us asap:

She came to the shelter only 10 days ago!

🚨Ten days later, she is already past deadline and can be euthanized at any moment🚨

Her name is Hazy. #A5769560 She is only 3 years old and 46 pounds — a tiny shepherd girl with a soft, gentle nature.

Hazy is a gentle, timid girl who may be a bit shy at first, often keeping her distance until she feels safe. With a little patience, her body softens and she’ll offer a sweet tail wag while allowing gentle handling and pets. Hazy prefers to quietly explore her surroundings and coexist peacefully with other calm dogs, rather than jumping into play. She’s tolerant but can feel unsure during handling, so she’ll need a kind, patient home that will help build her confidence at her own pace.

With slow introductions and positive experiences, Hazy has the potential to blossom into a trusting and loving companion.

She is a sensitive dog in a loud, overwhelming place.

She coexists peacefully with other calm dogs. She is friendly, easy, low energy, and well behaved. She simply needs the kind of patience shelters rarely have time to give.

Instead of a home, she got a deadline.

Dogs like Hazy are so often overlooked, not because they lack love to give, but because they are too quiet to compete.

If no one steps in now, this sweet girl may lose her life before she ever gets the chance to truly bloom.

Please help Hazy be seen.

She needs a foster & rescue (CA or PNW) or responsible adopter (anywhere in the U.S to the right home) immediately.

If you can foster or responsibly adopt Hazy, please contact us asap:

Pls DM me or text: 858-789-3903 for IPhones or 657-424-7580 for all other phones or Email: Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com

Lark is only 3 years old.

She is a sweet, gentle, medium- energy girl with a playful spark and a tender heart .She greets people with soft eyes and a happy tail wag, and while she may get a little bouncy and silly (she loves to play with her leash!), she truly shines when she’s close to her people. Lark can be a bit shy around other dogs at first, often sticking close for comfort, but with time she relaxes and begins to explore

She enjoys affection, becoming wiggly and sweet when getting pets, and would thrive in a patient home that helps her build confidence. Lark is tolerant of other dogs but still figuring out how to fully play, making her a great fit for a calm, understanding environment

If you’re looking for a loving companion who will stick by your side and blossom with your support

Please save Lark 🙏🏼

He is only 3 years old.

He was surrendered when his family moved. They had only good things to say about him. He loves to play soccer, is good with other dogs and was playful with children. Now he sits alone, past deadline, hidden from public view, with no video and no chance for people to truly meet or even see him.

Just one photo.

One image to convince someone he deserves life.

Knight is dog-friendly and rescue is ready to help, but they need a foster home first because he needs a place to go.

That is the only thing standing between him and euthanasia.

Needs shepherd-experienced foster for 3–4 months(CA or PNW) or responsible adopter (anywhere in the U.S to the right home) before tomorrow morning.

If you can foster or responsibly adopt Knight, please contact us asap:

Knight #A5766142 3yr Male German Shepherd 77 lbs.

Knight is a medium-energy boy who’s still learning to feel safe and confident at the shelter. He can come off strong at first-barking and appearing unsure in the kennel- but with patience, he begins to settle and shows a curious side. Once given space, Knight enjoys exploring his surroundings, sniffing around, and warming up to people on his own terms

He’s tolerant of other dogs and has shown some interest in play, though his style is still a bit awkward and developing. Knight can be uncomfortable with handling and needs a calm, experienced home that will respect his boundaries and help him build trust over time.

Knight will thrive with someone patient and understanding who can give him the structure and space he needs to grow into a more confident companion

Please don’t let this beautiful boy vanish unseen.

Please share him far and wide so he can finally get seen.

Supplies will be provided by the rescues and all dog related expenses will be covered. You just provide a safe space to land. Allen is very urgent. His final notice expired and he can be euthanized for space any moment.

And unless someone steps forward…

this sweet, gentle boy may never leave the shelter alive.

The shelter notes say he is 2 years old but we think he might be 6 or 7.

Allen A5767276 Male Husky/Shepherd Mix 45 lbs.

Stray came in on 04/04/26

Meet Allen – Your Chill, Gentle Companion

Allen is a calm, low-energy sweetheart who’s just looking for a peaceful place to land. He greets people with soft eyes and a gentle tail wag, and while he can be a little shy at first, he warms up with patience and kindness. Once comfortable, Allen walks nicely on leash, enjoys exploring at his own pace, and absolutely loves gentle pets 🐶

He gets along well with other dogs and prefers to hang out rather than play, making him a great match for a relaxed home. Allen is very tolerant and affectionate, happily soaking up attention from his humans. He’s easy to handle overall, though he may be a bit sensitive about his front paws.

If you’re looking for a mellow, loving companion who will quietly brighten your days, Allen might be your perfect match 💫

He’s the type of dog who quietly becomes your whole heart.

But quiet dogs often get ignored.

While louder dogs demand attention…

dogs like Allen disappear silently.

He doesn’t bark or jump to be chosen.

He just looks at people with soft eyes and waits.
