🆘 11 week old Lab mix boy Frasier, who has a previously injured front leg. is on the euthanasia list Tuesday, 8/18. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

⏰ Frasier #A2091306 must have a HOLD no later than 1PM or he will lose his life.🥺

💙🐶 Frasier #A2091306

8/14 Stray | Labrador Retriever Mix | Male | 11 Weeks | 11.0 lbs | Heartworm N/A

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Frasier #A2091306. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/14/26: Frasier was found as one of six loose dogs at Coolwood Head Start.

💖 Frasier is just an 11-week-old baby who has already had a difficult start to life. At only 11 pounds, he arrived at the shelter with an older fracture to his front right leg that has been healing crooked. Despite his injury, the shelter notes that he can be adopted as he is, with further veterinary care pursued later if needed. This little puppy deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead of losing his life at the shelter.

🩺 Medical Notes:

8/14/26: Front right leg appeared to have an older injury/break. Frasier was limping.

8/15/26: Frasier's front right leg appears to have an older injury/fracture with a large, hard callus just above the carpus. He is limping. The fracture is healing but is crooked/deviated laterally. The shelter notes that his limp appears to be related more to the crooked healing than pain. He can be adopted in his current condition, with further veterinary care pursued later if desired.

Introducing Lisa, a sweet & friendly 1-year-old Rottweiler Mix available to foster/adopt BARC in Houston, TX. Out-of-state transport possible. Euth deadline 8/17

🆘 1 year old HW- Rottweiler Mix Girl Lisa is on the euthanasia list Monday, 8/17. There will be no extensions per BARC. 🆘

⏰Lisa must have a hold no 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝗣𝗠 or she will lose her life.🥺 We need pledges and a local foster for a rescue to help.💰🏡

🚩Please do not honor pledges until the post has been updated with rescue information and a freedom picture. Please reach out with any questions or concerns

7/28 Euth req | Rottweiler Mix | Spayed Female | 1Y 1M | 67.5lbs | HW NAD/NEG

🎥 Temp test with Milo A2088373 https://youtube.com/shorts/jlf44_imQfU?is=0QmiV2X9RjnJ6uhG

🎥 Temp test with Landon A2090129 https://youtube.com/shorts/WDUypYnZ28o?is=zbUvBgMqzdggYJ6d

💜 Volunteer Notes:

Lisa is happy and hoppy and all the things I’d expect of a healthy, young dog! She was v ready to get outside and burn off some energy in the run, and she happily met both a male and female pup. She enjoyed fetching a tennis ball and was selectively treat motivated (she has taste okay 💁🏻‍♀️). After a few minutes of sniffing around the run, she would come over and lean in for pets and affection. She seems to know how to sit for treats and how to fetch. Lisa is only on the list for length of stay, meaning she’s been so well behaved during her stay at BARC. She has so much more life to live and deserves to find a family that recognizes and cherishes that!

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Lisa is only 13 months old. Although she was initially reported to be barking and charging people on the property where she was found, her shelter behavior has been much softer.

Lisa can be timid but accepts pets and treats. She has greeted staff with soft eyes, an open-mouth smile and a low wagging tail. She walks fairly well on leash, keeps her kennel clean and relaxes quietly on her cot.

🙏 At only 13 months old, Lisa has her whole life ahead of her. She has shown that beneath her uncertainty is a sweet young dog who accepts affection and wants to feel safe. Please foster, adopt, rescue or share Lisa before it’s too late.

She did a good job of keeping her kennel clean overnight. Lisa was walked on a semi-loose leash due to forward pulling on the leash slightly to and and from the outside runs.

💜 Volunteer Notes:

Ugh, once you start to see what dogs have more chances than others it truly sucks because guys like Milo, brake my heart.

Milo has been at the shelter for a bit and I understand why. Milo is such a nonchalant king, he was SO good to walk on leash, he is always chillin in his kennel so chill! This guy is such a teddy bear. He’s SOOO sweet, gave me his belly outside while hanging and did it again when I put him back in the kennel!! He was SO easy and that’s why I’m very sad. He’s so good but he’s not a huge fan of dog friends and that’s so understandable!!!

Milo seriously is so easy going and I’m sad that I really like this guy but knowing his chances are so slim, I hope this reaches the perfect home for Milo baby

Volunteer Notes #2:

Milo is a literal teddy bear of a dog 🧸. He is calm and gentle but did still show some playfulness when outside in the run! He would run after the ball, then return jauntily without it 😂. He gives the best hugs and is always open to receiving belly and head rubs. He takes treats so gently and is really just an easy-going boy overall. Milo was wiped out after our outdoor play session and temp tests, but I joined him in his kennel for a bit. He was ready for a nap and let me soothe him to sleep with pets and affirmations 🥰. He met two females and a male dog for temp tests. Milo would likely be happy as an only dog, as he doesn’t seem to seek out or need the company of other pups, but I also think with slow and controlled intros, he may be just fine with the right match of a dog.

I have no doubt that Milo will be a loving, loyal best friend to any person or family willing to give him a chance. He is neutered, heartworm negative, and ready to go!

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Milo is very friendly and wiggly. He loves pets and even enjoys being talked to in baby talk!

He greets staff with a loose or neutral body and wagging tail and is gentle on leash. He walks on a loose leash and pays little attention to other dogs as he passes their kennels and runs.

Milo also keeps his kennel clean and has been observed relaxing calmly on his cot with a plushie.

🙏 Milo is only 2 years old and has shown himself to be a friendly, wiggly, affectionate boy who enjoys pets, treats and simply being close to people. He deserves a home and someone to love—not more days waiting in a shelter.

Please foster, adopt, rescue or share Milo.

📝 Shelter Notes:

7/28/2026 INTAKE stray dogs speak with office for the location of the dogs

7/31/2026 BEHAVIOR NOTE

Approaching the kennel, Milo greeted me at the kennel gate with a neutral body and eyes, high wagging tail, ears up, and closed lip smile. He did a good job of keeping his kennel clean overnight. He was walked on a loose leash and neutral to and from the outside runs and paid little attention to other dogs as he passed by their runs and kennels.

8/1/2026 BEHAVIOR NOTE

Milo greeted me by his kennel door with a neutral body, slow wagging tail, lowered head and soft smile. once leashed he walked on a loose leash heading in and out of south.

8/3/2026 BEHAVIOR NOTE

Milo greeted me at the kennel gate with a neutral body and eyes, high wagging tail, ears up, and closed lip smile. He did a good job of keeping his kennel clean overnight.

! URGENT EUTH LISTED - HOPPER'S dealine passed on 8/14 !! Tustin CA, 2 year old male needs a savior NOW!

​

His life is at risk. Hopper needs a rescue plan NOW or he may be euthanized by OC Animal Care.

Hopper is only 2 years old. He was found wandering the streets of Santa Ana. The person who found him had no issues capturing him and even spent a week walking him around the neighborhood, trying to find someone who knew him.

Then he arrived at the shelter.

Hopper was nervous during intake. When staff approached him with a leash, he growled and showed his teeth. Since then, shelter staff report that he comes to the kennel door, hard stares, shows whale eye, becomes stiff, and growls.

But there is an important detail in his notes:

"When you reach for him he does not try to bite, he is just stiff and growling."

We don't know what Hopper experienced before he was found. We don't know why a 2-year-old dog was wandering the streets wearing a choke chain and rope leash. We only know that someone was able to safely capture him and walk him around the neighborhood - and now, inside a frightening shelter environment, he is defensive and afraid.

And that fear may cost him his life.

Hopper currently has no owner coming for him and no safe home waiting for him. He needs an experienced person willing to stand up for him when he needs it most.

HOPPER NEEDS RESCUE BY 8/14/26.

Please SHARE, PLEDGE, and help find a rescue/foster who can safely take him.

And that fear may cost him his life.

Heartbreaking! Senior Lobo was abandoned by his family after 14 years and this is how his life will end! He will be euthanized tomorrow (8/7 7am) at Downey ACC in CA if no longterm foster or adopter will be found in SoCal. If you can help, pls DM me immediately or Email: Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com

14 years.
That’s how long Lobo had his family.
And then, after an entire lifetime with the people he knew and loved, they surrendered him to a high k*ll shelter.

Now Lobo #A5789645 is 14 years old, sad, alone, and visibly heartbroken. He is struggling in the shelter environment, and watching a senior dog like him deteriorate in this way is devastating.

He spends his last days on a concrete kennel floor, lying in his own urine and feces.

A 14-year-old senior German Shepherd.

He should be sleeping on a soft bed. He should be surrounded by love. He should be spending his final years feeling safe and cherished.

Instead, he lost his family and found himself in a shelter.

We don’t know how much time Lobo has left. But we do know that he deserves for whatever time he has remaining to be filled with dignity, comfort, and love.

Can you foster or responsibly adopt Lobo?

Please contact us if you can help:
DM me
Email: Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com
And pls fill out the foster application on our page (link in bio)

14 years old • Male German Shepherd • 80 lbs

Please don’t scroll past this old boy.

Please help us make sure Lobo’s story doesn’t end on a concrete shelter floor and share Lobo. Someone out there may be the person who can give him the safe, loving home he has been waiting for.

XENA
In playgroups She roamed the yard, keeping to herself as much as possible. She anxiously looked around for a way out of the yard before jumping on the table to avoid the other dogs. She was moved to the side yard with a small group of calm dogs, where she briefly greeted them before jumping on the bench to rest in the sun. She did not engage in play with the other dogs, but was able to coexist with a group of calm dogs with no issues.
She allowed the handler to pet her whole body with no issues.
She remained easy to handle throughout the assessment, and continued to solicit petting. No small dogs other large calm dogs ok

HERCULES
In playgroups Hercules received a muzzle prior to entering the yard due to his tense posture and growling at the dogs through the fence. Hercules was allowed into the yard, where he ignored the dogs, exhibiting a tense posture as he walked past them. He chose to stand next to the handlers, occasionally soliciting affection. For the rest of the session, Hercules remained next to the handlers, barking at the dogs when they came into proximity. Once the session concluded, he was separated from the group to begin the handling assessment. The handler was able to conduct a full evaluation without incident. Hercules was tolerant of handling of his ears, mouth, abdomen, and front legs. However, handling of his tail and rear legs became difficult as he shielded them in a seated position while observing the handler. He was returned to his kennel without issue.
