9/26/2026: Stray

📝 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:

10/4/2026: Approaching the kennel, Samson was standing in front of the kennel gate with a open mouth smile, fast wagging tail, ears up, wiggling body, and soft eyes. He was very welcoming and friendly towards me as I leashed him easily and walked him outside. Samson was walked on a loose leash and very energetic towards me as consistently jumping on me to and from the outside runs.

10/5/2026: Samson was standing in front of the kennel gate with a open mouth smile, fast wagging tail, ears up, wiggling body, and soft eyes. He was very welcoming and friendly towards me as I leashed him easily and walked him outside. Samson was walked on a loose leash and very energetic towards me to and from the outside runs.

10/6/2026: Samson will greet at the front of the kennel as he presents loose body, open mouth and dilated pupils. Once leashed he is a bit jumpy but able to redirect with treats. When placing him in the outside run he was jumpy and mouthy and was biting the leash and wouldn't let go. When place back in his kennel I took the dog next to him out and Samson was barking and snarling at him while the other dog did not react.

10/8/2026: Samson continously kept trying to chew the leash, and became mouthy when taking to outside run. Samson showed no interest in treats.

10/9/2026: Samson continously kept jumping up while on the leash. Samson also kept putting his mouth around my hand and tugging on my shirt sleeves. I could sometimes redirect with treats but he would go right back to tugging on my sleeves.

10/10/2026: Samson was placed in outdoor kennel in the morning due to Uri symptoms. while in kennel he was pacing with dilated eyes, panting, and vocalizing. when trying to leash he kept jumping up and was very mouthy towards my hand and leash. once leashed i gave a loud and firm no and he stopped the nipping but walked on a forward leash. once in his kennel i covered and provided a pig ear. he has been quiet all day but i will continue to monitor.

10/10/2026: Samson greeted me with a soft face, front paws on the door, wiggly body, wagging tail, dilated eyes, lip licked and play-bowed. He was easily leashed and walked semi-loosely, very excited, rearing, mouthy with leash and me, jumped up and bit my arm bruising it.

10/10/2026: While walking on the leash, Samson is very hyperactive, jumping and trying to bite the leash, bit employee on the arm, causing a bruise.

10/11/2026: 12:29 Walked with tight leash out to runs. When I reached down to unleash he turned, jumped up and was mouthing very hard on my hand and arm, jumping up and scratching down my back. Same when trying to leash him, had to push him down and hold him down to get leash on, then used leash to hold him away from me while he was still trying to mouth.

How is this adorable little meatball still waiting?! 😭 Just LOOK at that face! Dumpling is a short, squatty Bulldog mix with a big ol’ head, tiny legs, and a constantly wagging tail. She is basically a dumpling with legs. 😂🥟

DUMPLING A661763 is about 3 years old, 59 lbs, spayed, and absolutely full of love. She came in as a stray on 9/11 and is ready to trade shelter life for a couch, some snacks, and a family to adore. 🏡💕

🐾 🍼 Meet 6 month old injured puppy Tokyo

ID #A2095727

6 months old

Cairn Terrier Mix | Male | White | Only 6.1 lbs

Intake: 9/16/26

Status: Rescue only (medical)

⸻

🩺 MEDICAL NOTES:

Tiny Tokyo arrived severely underweight and unable to bear weight on his right rear leg. His knee was swollen, and X-rays confirmed a displaced transverse fracture of his right distal femur.

⚠️ Tokyo needs radiologist review and an orthopedic consultation.

💊 Rimadyl/Carprofen 12.5 mg once daily x14 days

💊 Gabapentin suspension 1.1 mL twice daily x14 days

❤️ Heartworm NEGATIVE/NAD

Tokyo also arrived heavily matted, and staff shaved away the majority of the matting. He has received DA2PP, Bordetella and Rabies vaccines, deworming and Advantage Multi.

⸻

BEHAVIOR NOTES:

No specific behavior evaluation was included in Tokyo’s records. Right now, this little puppy is dealing with a painful broken leg, severe underweight condition and the stress of the shelter.

💙🐶 Glenn #A2096337

9/15 Stray | Australian Shepherd Mix | Male | 6 Months | 42 lbs | Heartworm Negative

💜 Volunteer Notes:

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

📝 Shelter Notes:

9/17: He would not walk on leash and had to be carried outside to the runs. When staff returned for him, he was scurrying away and licking his lips with his hackles raised. Staff cornered and lassoed the leash onto him. No muzzle was needed once leashed, and staff picked him up and carried him back inside and into his kennel.

9/16: He remained in the back of his kennel when staff leashed him and laid down. Staff muzzled and carried him into a new kennel.

9/15: Intake notes state a white and brown medium cattle dog had reportedly been roaming the area for approximately two weeks. He was a repeat caller report and had eaten someone's package.

🩺 Medical Notes:

- Approximately 42 lbs.

- Heartworm negative.

- Intact male.

No significant medical concerns are documented in the provided record. Routine vaccinations, deworming and preventatives have been administered.

💖 This 6-month-old puppy appears extremely frightened and overwhelmed by the shelter environment. Importantly, the notes do not document him attempting to bite or actively aggressing toward staff, and on 9/17 he was able to be picked up and carried without a muzzle once leashed. At only six months old, he is still incredibly young and needs a patient, low-pressure home where he can decompress, build trust and learn that people are safe. A calm environment and someone willing to give him time and space could make an enormous difference for this scared baby. ❤️

8/16 Stray | German Shepherd Mix | Male | 3 Years | 48 lbs | Heartworm Negative

🎥 VIDEOS THROUGHOUT COMMENTS

💙 Volunteer Notes:

🫶🏻👯‍♂️ Bonded pair alert! Orville is 1/2 of a bonded pair found as strays in a volunteer's neighborhood. Orville has a doggy cold (completely treatable), the reason he's now on the euthanasia list. He and Billy were originally kenneled together, but now he's alone in the sick ward 🥺. He is such a sweet boy and did great on his temp test with female Penny. He's really a happy-go-lucky guy and just the right amount of goofy. Both boys are young, healthy, and affectionate! While I would love for this dynamic duo to be able to stay together, I do think they could adjust and thrive individually. Either separately or together, I just really want these boys to make it out!

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Orville made a wonderful impression at intake. Staff described him simply as “friendly, relaxed with wagging tail.” He also allowed his medical workup with only light restraint.

There aren’t pages of behavior notes for Orville—just a simple glimpse of a calm, friendly dog who deserves the opportunity to show so much more of himself outside the shelter.

🙏 PLEASE SAVE ORVILLE. Please don’t let this gentle boy be overlooked. A foster, adopter or rescue could be the reason Orville gets to walk out of BARC and into the life he deserves.

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/16: Orville was described as friendly and relaxed with a wagging tail. He required only light restraint for his medical workup.

💖 Orville is a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix who has received a wonderful initial note from shelter staff. He was described simply as friendly, relaxed and wagging his tail - even while being handled for his medical workup. With such limited notes available, we hope someone will give this handsome boy the chance to show everything else there is to love about him. At only 3 years old, Orville has so much life ahead of him and urgently needs a safe place to land.

🩺 Medical Notes:

Orville developed clear nasal discharge and sneezing on 8/25. He was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and started on a 10-day course of doxycycline.

Heartworm negative.

48 lbs.

Summary:

Orville has developed clear nasal discharge and sneezing consistent with CIRD/URI. He was moved to treatment and started on Doxycycline 250 mg once daily for 10 days.

Orville is heartworm negative and has received DA2PP, Bordetella, Rabies, deworming/Pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

Volunteer Notes for Orville & Billy (Bonded Pair):

💙🐶 #A2090873 Orville | GSD Mix | M | 3Y | 48 lbs | HW-

💙🐶 #A2090869 Billy | Staffie Mix | Neutered M | 2Y | 59 lbs | HW-

Orville and Billy may not be brothers by blood, but they are each other’s family. I don’t know what brought them together, and I don’t know their pasts, but they were found as strays wandering in my neighborhood for at least a few weeks. With no reprieve from the increasingly scorching temperatures, no protection from all the dangers that street dogs face, and the clear reality that they appeared to have no home to return to, the shelter was their best shot at survival. Together with our neighbors, we made it happen.

Since their arrival at BARC, we have steadily kept tabs on them, checking on them at every visit. We were pleasantly surprised that both boys were heartworm negative! Billy was even already neutered and had a microchip, but his chip hold ended 8/23, and no one came to claim him 😔. Staff loved the boys from the get-go. They initially would not walk on leash without the other nearby, so once they moved them to the adoption floor, staff allowed them to co-kennel. I can imagine the relief they felt after being separated.

All things considered, they seem happy. I like to think they’re enjoying the AC, the steady meals, and the familiar comfort of each other. But my fear now is that that comfort may be short-lived. Coming up with a rescue plan for one dog is hard enough, let alone for a dynamic duo. As a bonded pair, it would be ideal if they were adopted or rescued together. They are all each other has 🥹.

This SMILEY boy is LAURENCE #A596061

Original 𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞: 8/14 𝐚𝐭 𝟐𝐏𝐌

LAURENCE came into the shelter as a stray on 7/23/26 after spending three days with the person who found him at his new home. They described LAURENCE as "fearful at first but FRIENDLY".

LAURENCE has been kenneled with other since coming into the shelter. On 8/9 he had a minor altercation with one of his kennel mates DURING KENNEL CLEANING where staff close off half the kennel to clean and the dogs are all forced into the other side and divider closed.......

LAURENCE was subsequently moved to a different kennel. Staff now say he has been barrier reactive on 8/11 when they walked past him, doing their rounds.

It's a shame they can't get those out of their kennels for some excersise and enrichment more often.

PLEASE HELP LAURENCE get outta there alive 🙏

🟧 PLEASE NETWORK HIS POSTS

LAURENCE can be responsibly ADOPTED or he can be FOSTERED for a rescue if you can offer him stability and commitment until he gets his Furever home.

LAURENCE is listed as a male black and brown German Shepherd mix of about 2️⃣ years old weighing 3️⃣ years old weighing 79lbs.

Staff say.......

"Laurence is in need of placement due to behavioral concerns and is not thriving in the shelter environment.

A home or rescue setting may provide a better opportunity for decompression, continued assessment, and appropriate behavioral support.

Placement with an experienced adopter or rescue partner is needed by the deadline listed above.

Interested adopters may contact the shelter for more information.

Approved rescue partners receive the animal’s available records and updates by email. Organizations interested in becoming an approved rescue partner may contact us for more information.‼️

After 8 YEARS with her family, 8-year-old Lucy is now sitting in a kennel at Downey ACC.

🚨Her final notice expired and she is scheduled to be euthanized tomorrow morning 8/21🚨

Can you foster or responsibly adopt Lucy?
➡️📧 Message @californiashelterpets or email: Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com
Or text: (657) 424-7580 asap

Lucy was surrendered on 7/6/26 following a scuffle with a small dog in the home (the small dog was not injured but no further details were given). She is great and very playful with large dogs though.

She lived with children ages 11–13 and was playful. She rides well in the car. She walks politely on leash. She knows sit and paw. Her favorite thing to play with? A BALL. 🎾

And shelter staff saw another side of her, too.

During her assessment, Lucy was nervous and somewhat concerned with handling—but once it was over, her entire posture softened. She sought engagement with the handler and even offered play bows.

And on 8/11, Lucy participated in playgroup. She was described as social and non-reactive, exchanged appropriate greetings with other dogs, played with them, and solicited affection from the handlers.

She is large-dog friendly, but needs a home without small dogs. Adults only or older children are recommended. Slow introductions and confidence-building would help her settle in and feel secure.

Lucy is 8 years old.

She spent eight years belonging to someone.

Now she’s waiting behind a kennel door, hoping someone will believe that her story isn’t over.

💜 Volunteer Notes

I met Lucy in October and she was one of my favorites to think she was failed again and now is in this situation with so many babies makes me sick to my stomach. These are the horror stories the shelter is trying to prevent and yet it happened anyways.

October 2024: I love Lucy. I'm not talking about the show I'm talking about this perfect puppers. She knows how to put on the charm that's for sure. Anyone that greets her gets the same sweet greeting where she gives a smile and looks all cute. She was easy to leash and didn't have any problem walking by any of the dogs. She played with a pup in the run and loved running back and forth. She enjoys belly rubs and playing which is the perfect package in my opinion. She knows how to relax and knows how to have fun. I saw several people have her out today and every time they brought her back she just would relax in her kennel. She's so quiet! I'm surprised no one has snatched this girl up yet.

📝 Shelter Notes:

October 2024

Approaching kennel, dog was sitting down in the front. I opened the door and she then pancaked, keeping her head low.

I placed the leash but dog remained in potion so I then slowly entered and got behind her, as I was picking her up I could hear that she was softly crying. I carried her outside the kennel and then placed her on floor. As I was petting and baby talking her, she wagged her tail and looked at me with soft eyes. As I was petting her head, she would gently close her eyes and lick her lips, and get closer to my legs. After spending a minute with her, she followed me and walked loosely with a wagging tail. She occasionally would freeze and look at me with soft eyes and a wagging tail, I had to baby talk and pet her again for her to continue walking. While outside, I squatted down again and she quickly came forward to sit next to me. While petting her outside, she got on her back with tummy up and was enjoying the belly rubs with closed eyes and a smile.

Coming back inside, she walked with a more relaxed body. After placing her in kennel, I closed the door and then started to pet her through door. She sat in placed licking her lips and closing her eyes in comfort as I petted her head. She was super and friendly towards me,

In the afternoon I was able to take her outside so she could have more outside time and adjust to the outside setting since in the morning she was a bit timid. Again, she slowly walked on the leash and needed a lot of encouragement to walk. She often pulled back but I was able to redirect her with with baby talk and pets. She ignored treats and baby talk seemed to be working better with her. When coming back inside she walked on a loose leash, still occasionally stopping. Again, responding super well to being pet, loves the attention.

dog was laying down and when i approched dog had whale eyes and as i got closer dog had lowered head down and as i opened the kennel door wider for dog to get out she pancaked and i had to carry out and carry to next kennel.

spoke to potential adopter about her delay in surgery due to URI. Was told that we had noticed that she was limping and upon looking at the radiographs on her RF there was a healing fracture. She was told that she would be going home on carprofen and doxy for her to give at home. She still wanted to move forward with the adoption.
