🆘 Staff sent out a plea on Genesis and Ellie JR warning us that they will be Euthanized this Friday morning before the shelter doors open to the public! This scared pair of sisters were confiscated from their owner after they were reported as living in a cruel situation! These girls have been totally let down by their human along with 14 other relatives. Now all their lives have been placed in danger.

We need to find a home for GENESIS & ELLIE JR quickly as the shelter is planning to Euthanize them BOTH. Are you ready to adopt the love(s) of your life? At least offer to foster temporarily to get them out to safety-you do need an APPOINTMENT so follow the instructions below.💞

WINSTON is one of the shelter’s long stay boys, quietly waiting while the world keeps passing him by.

He’s the more reserved half of a kennelmate duo, happy to let his friend MILO take the spotlight while he hangs back and watches quietly from behind. But WINSTON deserves to be seen too.

He’s dog friendly, gentle, and just wants a chance to leave this shelter alive.He needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER, from near or far to help him now!

WINSTON and MILO do not need to be adopted together — but after spending so much time side by side, we know they’d both love to know the other one made it out safely too. 🤍

Please help us get WINSTON noticed, go meet and adopt him this weekend! The shelter is open Sunday 11-3:15pm at 612 Canino Road.

🔹 Intake:
5/12/2026: dog not moving, hit by car at the curb. Dog is still alive. 1 brown dog.

📝 Shelter Notes:

5/15/2026: very vocal in kennel after coming back inside

5/16/2026: Moved adopt today: He is very sweet. He has a wiggly body anytime I greet him or walk past. He leashed well and walked on a semi loose leash for an adopter. He plays with his enrichment and has been quite since moving over to South.

5/17/2026: Bruce painted in kennel after feeding. Very wiggly and jumpy on kennel door and walls. I was able to leash and use my treats to redirect. Walked wiggly to the runs and remained wiggly while outside.

5/18/2026: Bruce painted in kennel after feeding even though I spot cleaned kennel offer. As I approached he was nonstop jumping up and panting heavily. I tried to use treats to distract him in order to leash him up but did not work. Leashed him up and he walked out but began jumping up at me several times. I tossed down treats to distract. He followed the treats then, once in the run he was high pitched barking, crying and whining along with nonstop jumping up. As I tried to leash he tried to dart out. Once leashed I walked back to kennel using treats to prevent. Once placed in kennel he began behaving the same way.

5/19/2026: Bruce painted in his kennel overnight, pacing back and forth at front of kennel as I came to leash him up. He began jumping up on kennel door as I attempted to leash him up. I tried tossing treats to distract him but this time did not distract his attention. I quickly leashed and he came out of kennel jumping on me. I was able to redirect with my treats. Once we got outside to the runs he walked wiggly following the treat trail. As I tried to walk him into the run as I tried to unleash he tried to bolt out of kennel. I was able to stop him with the leash still on but still tried bolting out multiple times. As I walked away he began jumping up crying in high pitch as I walked away. Once I walked back to kennel and placed him in kennel he seemed more relax.

🚨 URGENT — BRUCE NEEDS OUT NOW

🆘 Bruce — ID #A654669
⏳ Can be euthanized at ANY time due to overcrowding

🐾 Labrador Retriever/ Pittie mix
♂️ Male • 3 Years Old • 54 lbs
📍 Kennel 3B08
⚠️ Heartworm Positive- affordable treatment is available & a MUST!
🥨 Co-kenneled with Pretzel

Bruce is a terrified, severely underweight black Lab who was found stray and is shutting down in the shelter environment. Scared dogs are often overlooked and become euthanasia targets simply because they are fearful.

Despite being terrified, staff observed NO aggression. Bruce accepted treats, leash handling, gentle guidance, and even allowed soft pets after taking time to trust.

💔 He is trying so hard.

Shelter staff describe him as:
• extremely fearful and undersocialized
• gentle and nonreactive
• leashable with patience
• overwhelmed and deteriorating in the shelter
Bruce urgently needs:
🏡 adopter
🩵 foster
🐾 rescue placement
💰 pledges
📣 shares
Please help save this scared boy before it’s too late.

🚨 Meet Long Stay Momma JENNA While other dogs had the chance to be seen, JENNA was busy being a mother in one of the hardest places imaginable to raise babies — surrounded by loud barking, constant stress, strange smells, and invisible illnesses that prey on vulnerable, unvaccinated puppies.

The shelter euthanizes dogs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday without notice and we are worried for JENNA. Please Choose her NOW as she is OUT of TIME!

This beautiful girl with one blue eye, one hazel eye, and the sweetest pink snoot gave everything she had to her babies. You can see it in her body. She is painfully underweight after pouring all of her nourishment into keeping her puppies alive and healthy.

Now it’s finally JENNA’s turn to be cared for. She needs food, rest. and safety and she needs them now!

What we know about Momma JENNA:
Come meet JENNA in kennel 3B06
Female -will be spayed
gorgeous Pitty mix
2 years old
56 pounds
Heartworm Positive - ask a shelter manager if JENNA can be treated with sponsored funds in the Heal A Heart program for adopters. And ask us for local low cost vets
