🚨 URGENT DEADLINE 8/12🚨 Friendly Tiger Mastiff Needs Help ‼️

🚨 URGENT DEADLINE 8/12🚨

🐾 Buster ID: #A594470

Tiger mastiff/Male / Black

Approximately 1 year old & 99 lbs.

➡️ https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/SBCT/A594470

📆 Arrived at the shelter on 6 /11 . Available 6/15

The person who found BUSTER clearly REALLY LIKED HIM - they kept him for a few days, presumably hoping to find the owner.

✨️ Behavior:

Initially scared but improved with interaction. He accepted treats and petting and began soliciting attention. A later kennel altercation occurred with another dog. Staff reported seeing the other dog on top of Buster and biting his ear while Buster attempted to get away. Staff intervened with a water hose to stop the altercation. Although it was unclear which dog initially started the incident, the report indicates that the other dog appeared to be the aggressor, while Buster was attempting to escape.

🩺 Medical:

Ongoing eye issues with crusting and discharge, with possible entropion/ectropion. He also had green nasal and ocular discharge

! 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.

🆘Very Urgent 8/16! 😍 JULIA A659466 is scared in the shelter environment & needs help now! 1.5 y/o Border collie mix (HW-)very friendly & sweet. Urgently seeking loving foster/forever home! Houston, TX (Adoptable Out of State & Canada)

💔 JULIA is a stunning young girl who is terrified in the shelter environment. Watching her freeze in fear while being videoed is heartbreaking. She desperately needs someone to comfort her, give her time, and show her that she is safe.

Sadly, fear in a shelter can make a dog appear like she “doesn’t show well.” Please don’t let JULIA’s fear become a death sentence. She deserves the chance to decompress in a loving home where she can finally feel safe.

If you’re interested in JULIA, please come meet her. Staff can bring her out of her kennel for a meet-and-greet so you can see the sweet girl behind the fear.

‼️ URGENT: DEADLINE 8/20 ‼️ Another Cane Corso forced by catch pole and then labeled “aggressive.” Of course he would react—ANYONE would!

What reaction does staff expect from a frightened dog being forcibly restrained with a catch pole❓️

Shelters need to be held accountable. Countless dogs are mislabeled as “aggressive” because they react after being mistreated or mishandled during intake. A terrified, stressed dog reacting to force does NOT automatically make them aggressive.

🐾 Mater ID: #A1973384

Cane Corso • Male • Approximately 2 yrs old

📆 Intake Date: 8/7/2026

Mater was brought in as a stray. He did not have any owner information or a microchip. Review Date: 8/20/2026

✨️ NOTES: Mater is understandably and rightfully scared. Fearful shelter dogs can react defensively to catch-pole restraint, particularly when handled by unfamiliar people. His growling, lunging, snapping, and avoidance appear to be fear- and stress-based responses rather than evidence of inherent aggression. Importantly, when the pressure is reduced and he is offered treats, Mater has shown that he can calm down and become cooperative—offering his paw, sitting on cue, and wagging his tail. His behavior is strongly influenced by fear and arousal, especially when he becomes overstimulated, and should be evaluated within that context.

Thor, Ellie, Raphael, Angelo, Angelito Update 🤍 #VoicelessNoMorePhRescuedAnimals

Hi everyone,

Thor and Ellie went back to the veterinary clinic for testing for a fungal infection, and unfortunately, both of their results came back positive for Malassezia (fungal dermatitis).

Their veterinarian explained that this may be related to the severe malnutrition and neglect they endured before they were rescued, which likely weakened their skin barrier and immune system. Thankfully, they do not need to be on a hypoallergenic diet at this time. They will, however, be receiving antifungal medications and supplements to help their skin heal and support their recovery.

Their recent expenses include:
Thor & Ellie veterinary bill — Aug. 17: Php 5,010 ($113.76 CAD)

Thor & Ellie veterinary bill — Aug. 19: Php 3,600 ($84.48 CAD)

Hypoallergenic food — Aug. 17: Php 2,475 ($56.15 CAD)

2x Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food — Aug. 16: Php 3,317 ($75.44 CAD)

Our rescued dogs Raphael and Angel were also recently at the veterinary clinic.

Raphael
Raphael went for his follow-up checkup. We are happy that his blood work and injuries have improved. However, the veterinarians recently discovered a mass under the skin on his right flank. For now, we will be monitoring it closely and following the veterinarian's recommendations.
Veterinary bill — Aug. 18: Php 800 ($18.10 CAD)

Angel
Angel was recently diagnosed with Babesia, a blood parasite. She had ticks before she was rescued last July, and unfortunately, the infection has now shown up in her blood work.
The good news is that her fungal infection is improving, and she continues to have a huge appetite, which is something we are very happy to see.
Veterinary bill — Aug. 17: Php 4,930 ($111.89 CAD)

Angelito
Angelito is still resting and eating well.
We are planning to take him to the veterinary clinic later to have his wound cleaned again and to have his blood work checked.

Because Angelito’s condition is severe, even though he was just recently seen by his veterinarian, we would also like to have him examined by a different doctor for a second opinion. We believe that having another veterinarian assess his condition may provide us with a different perspective and possibly additional recommendations on how we can better support his recovery and give him the best care possible.
We are doing everything we can to give Angelito a chance to heal. His condition is still very serious, but as long as he continues to fight, we want to continue fighting alongside him.

Again, will send updates as soon as we can.

We are doing our best to continue providing all of our rescued animals with the medical care, food, medications, shelter support/allowance, supplements, and anything that they need. But with multiple animals undergoing treatment at the same time, the expenses are becoming increasingly difficult for us to manage on our own.

If you are able to provide financial support toward their veterinary care, food, medications, transportation, daily needs, or our mission of helping vulnerable animals in the Philippines, it would mean so much to us and our rescued animals.
We also understand that not everyone can help financially. Support is completely voluntary, and kind words, encouragement, and sharing our posts are equally appreciated. Thank you for standing with us.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand behind our rescues and support them through their recovery. We truly appreciate you.

Sincerely,

The small dog got to stay home. Senior Lucy got the shelter. Euth: Tomorrow 8/19 7am at Downey ACC in SoCal- her life can be saved with a foster or adopter. (Fostering is temporary and free) pls dm me, email Isabeldesiree8@gmail.com or text (657) 424-7580 asap

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

Lucy was surrendered on 7/6/26 following a scuffle with a small dog in the home. Lucy now has a No small Dogs requirement.

But there is so much more to Lucy than that one piece of her history.

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.

Please don’t let one incident become the only thing anyone sees when they look at Lucy.

Update On Bear Aka Beary White.

I posted about Bear a few times.

He was left abandoned and tied up to a post in my grandparents backyard back on March 31st.

He had a pretty bad flea infestation, muscle deterioration and was most likely abused.

I have now had him since April 26th

We have been actively looking for a home

But since he is deaf.

I've been very particular with my vetting process so we haven't found anything yet.

But this is an update as of 3 days ago.

He has made such a comeback.

Bear is absolute cutie and such a funny guy.

Enjoy his big smiles. 🐺

We are a volunteer network dedicated to helping at-risk dogs. We are not affiliated with BARC. We connect at-risk animals at the BARC shelter with the adopters, fosters, and rescue organizations needed to save their lives. We can help coordinate out-of-state adoption through approved 501c3 rescues. Please send the OP a Chat invite or send moderator mail to r/findfostersfordogs (it's under the see-more tab for the group) for information and a link to an application form. BARC Houston cannot facilitate out-of-state adoption or foster.

🆘️ On Euthanasia list at BARC, Houston for Wednesday, 8/19/26. Deadline at 1pm 🆘️

ID #A2088449

🐾 Meet Nate

ID #A2088449

2-year-old male Labrador Retriever mix

Black / White | 46 lbs

Intake Date: 7/29/2026

Nate came into BARC as a stray after a caller reported a group of several dogs outside in the heat and was concerned for their health. Elmo (ID #A2088448) is still at BARC, but not on the euthanasia list yet. Sadly, Dallas (ID #2088462) was already euthanized. 2 of the other dogs are no longer listed and we don't know their status (ID #A2088446 and ID #A2088459).

🩺 MEDICAL

Nate is heartworm LOW POSITIVE and is now being treated for an upper respiratory infection/CIRD.

On 8/18, he was sneezing yellow discharge and was moved to the treatment room. He was started on Doxycycline 200 mg once daily for 10 days.

He has received his DA2PP vaccines, Bordetella, rabies vaccine, deworming, pyrantel and Advantage Multi.

🐾Behavior notes:

During many walks, Nate has shown a neutral or relaxed body, soft expression and loose-leash walking. He has also been observed quietly resting on his bed and ignoring barking dogs once given some space.

However, Nate can become tense around other dogs. On 8/17, he was whining and standing against his kennel door as other dogs were walked past, but once it was his turn, he became quiet and walked loosely beside his handler.

🩷🐶 Jenna #A2088112

7/26/2026 Stray | American Staffordshire Mix | Female | 4Y | 46.4 lbs | HW Low Positive

💜 Volunteer Notes:

Jenna is definitely a cutie pie. She has unique coloring throughout her coat. She’s calm and sweet. When I went to her kennel she was so ready to have some company. I started talking to her and immediately she got excited. I was able to leash her pretty easily. She walked wonderfully on the leash. I got her out to the run and she’s very loving and affectionate. She loves belly rubs. When I had her out in the run I was petting her, and she actually turned around onto her back and basically asked for belly rubs. She’s definitely a good girl and always happy. I think she’s unique looking, and hopefully she can get out of the shelter tomorrow

🐾 Behavior Notes:

Jenna’s notes are full of words like sweet, gentle, happy and wiggly. She regularly greets staff with a wagging tail, relaxed body, soft eyes and an open-mouth smile. She is easy to leash and has frequently walked nicely on a loose or semi-loose leash.

Jenna has also shown playful interest in other dogs, offering play bows and a curving, wiggly body toward neighboring dogs.

🙏 Jenna has been waiting since July 26 and is now dealing with URI, GI issues and heartworms. This sweet, wiggly girl needs a safe place to recover and decompress.

Please foster, adopt, rescue, share or pledge for Jenna.
