Calling California dog lovers - who wants to take a staycation in the land of puppy love?
We are desperately looking for a foster for this pregnant girl, whose initial escape plan fell through when they found out she’s pregnant.
A rescue will shoulder the costs. Please reach out if you can help!
She’s only 39 lb, an almost-pocket-size husky mix. ☺️
If happiness had four legs and a wagging tail, her name would be Summer A656683! 🌻🐾
🐾 1 Year, 7 Months Old
🐾 59 Pounds
🐾 Heartworm Negative
🐾 Stray Intake 05/26
🐾 Dog Friendly
🐾 People Friendly
Summer is the kind of dog that makes your day instantly better. She has one of the happiest smiles you'll ever see and enough love and enthusiasm to brighten even the gloomiest day.
This sweet girl recently enjoyed play yard time with A657346 and had a blast! She loves people, enjoys other dogs, and is always ready to make a new friend.
Honestly, whoever adopts Summer is hitting the jackpot. 🎰💛
She's fun, friendly, beautiful, and full of life—the kind of dog who will happily join you on adventures, then curl up next to you when the day is done.
💔 The problem? Summer is running out of time.
She has been here since 05/26, making her extremely urgent, and she needs a confirmed rescue tag, foster, or adopter before Monday morning.

🤎 Some dogs are impossible not to love. SARAH JESSICA is one of them. 🥹 This beautiful brindle-and-white girl is the perfect medium size, and volunteers can't say enough good things about her.
Very friendly
Walks beautifully on a leash
Loves being outside and playing with toys
Calm, quiet, and gentle
Dainty play style
Wonderful dog-to-dog manners
She met another female dog, and she was polite, respectful, and friendly—greeting the other dog with gentle sniffs and sweet muzzle kisses. That's the kind of good manners every dog owner hopes for. ❤️SARAH JESSICA would make a great second or third dog for a family!
The heartbreaking part?
Because of her length of stay, SARAH JESSICA is now urgent. She can be euthanized as early as tomorrow morning if she doesn't have a foster, adopter, or rescue plan.
SARAH JESSICA has stayed over 15 days and she can now be euthanized any Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning with NO NOTICE‼️

JEREMY #A5780236: 5 month old, male GSD, 52 pounds, came in as a stray on 6-1
!. Dogs have been getting 7-14 days to make it out alive before getting Euth listed!!
This little guy just bubbles over with love and hope and the desire to be wanted, to belong. His little eyes are so full of hope... but I've seen it too many times. Happy and hopeful pups completely lose their spark.
Shut down after the realization that nobody is coming for them.
We can't let him become just another unwanted pup who quietly disappears and I'd forgotten. His life matters.
Please help me share this baby boy so we can find him a loving home.

Pequeno (A2183071) was found during a homeless encampment cleanup tied to a fence, barking in fear. His tail was tightly tuck and his body low to the ground and he moved cautiously.
At the shelter Pequeno has demonstrated his playful side with other dogs while being anxious if separated from humans.
Pequeno deserves to feel safe, loved and care for. Can you offer him the safety of a home and the love of a family?
If you can foster or adopt him, please reach out to me ASAP. 🙏
Pledges towards Pequeno's rescue will also help.
Pequeno is at the LA North Central Shelter.

Folks, this young mom was on euthanasia list for Saturday. The vet had to go to dinner or something and left her until Monday.
Her puppies died.
She has an infection that is easily treated.
Can anyone please help? Fostering will help a lot, if you can’t adopt.
Thank you

IN GRAVE DANGER - EUTH COMMAND
“I’m Charisma… though right now I know that name doesn’t seem to fit me. I used to be different — playful, cuddly, always pressed against my person because that’s where I felt safe. But then everything changed. My parent got sick, then lost our home, and the day we said goodbye I cried into their shirt while they cried into my fur. I didn’t understand why we couldn’t stay together. I still don’t. I just know they loved me, and I loved them, and then suddenly I was alone.
Here in the shelter I’m so scared that my whole body shakes. I hide in the corner of my kennel because it’s the only place that feels small enough to hold all my fear. When people try to take me out, I panic — my legs won’t move, my body freezes, and sometimes I thrash because I don’t know what else to do. I’m not trying to be difficult. I’m just a ten‑month‑old puppy who lost everything and doesn’t know how to be brave yet.
But underneath all this trembling is the real me — the girl who loves to cuddle, who follows her people from room to room, who gives soft kisses and wiggles when she trusts you. I’m playful with dogs I know, gentle with the people I love, and I want so badly to feel safe again. I just need time… time to decompress, time to learn the world isn’t ending, time to remember that I’m still a puppy with a whole life ahead of me.
The shelter says I’m “not acclimating,” and now I’m on the list to die. I don’t want my story to end here. I don’t want my parent — wherever they are, probably still struggling — to find out that I am gone forever. I want a quiet, patient, adult home where someone will kneel beside me, speak softly, and let me come forward when I’m ready. Someone who sees past the shaking and understands that fear is not who I am — it’s just what happened to me.
Please… I’m only ten months old. I’m healthy. I’m loving. I’m trying. I just need someone to save my life and give me the chance to become the dog my name promises.”
Experienced fosters and adopters, we need you to step up for this baby girl who did nothing wrong. She’s lost it all, the parent she loved, the home she felt safe and loved in, and now she may lose her own life. It’s unfair. MESSAGE OUR PAGE to save her life now.
CHARISMA, Id 252611, @10 Mos. Old, 54 lbs., Female
Queens ACC, Medium Mixed Breed, Gray/White
Owner Surrender Reason: 5/5/26 – Owner Homeless
Behavior Assessment Rating: New Hope Only
Recommendations:
No children under 13
Place with a New Hope Partner
Medical Behavior Rating: 4. Orange
AT RISK MEMO:
Charisma is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Charisma has been highly fearful and shut down during her stay in care, despite best efforts to keep her comfortable. In her previous home she is describe to enjoy being close to her people, playful, and an affectionate dog. In care, she refuses to leave her kennel and thrashes intensely once leashed. Charisma was also reported to display similar behaviors during her intake and refused to walk to her kennel. Medically, Charisma is apparently healthy.
Charisma was surrendered by her previous owner due to their health concerns. Her previous family described her as an active, playful, affectionate dog. She spends most of her time where her people are. She did not allow her previous family to bathe her, brush her, or trim her nails, did not have a walking schedule, was never crate trained, and she struggles when being placed in a car. During her stay in care, Charisma has been highly fearful and shut down. She refuses to leave her kennel or walk, moving to the corner of her kennel, trembling, and begins thrashing before freezing in place once leashed. Due to these concerns, we recommend that Charisma be placed in an adult-only home through a New Hope rescue partner that can give her the time and space to decompress and acclimate at her own pace. She will likely need further socialization sessions under the guidance of a certified professional trainer who utilizes force-free, reward-only based methods once she has had ample time to adjust to a new home environment.

Recommendations comments:
No children (under 13): Due to Charisma's intense, fearful and shut-down behaviors, we recommend an adult-only home as she may be intimidated by children.
Place with a New Hope partner: Charisma has not acclimated well to the kennel environment and has allowed only minimal handling since intake. We recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home.

House soiling
Resource guarding
Handling/touch sensitivity

Anxiety: Charisma is reported to be anxious in the previuos home, but her owner did not elaborate on how this behavior manifested or if any steps were taken to modify these behaviors. If Charisma displays anxious behavior in her future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving her other things to focus on to alleviate her anxiety.
