🆘 URGENT — LILY COULD BE EUTHANIZED WEDNESDAY 8/19 💔

LILY’s kennel buddy Jenny left with a foster this weekend, and now LILY is at the TOP of the list and could be euthanized Wednesday morning. She desperately needs someone to step up before it’s too late.

🌼 LILY #A659741 is an adorable 4-year-old girl weighing just 40 lbs—the perfect smaller-medium size! She is dog friendly, people friendly and loves getting attention from humans. 💕 She did great sharing her kennel with Jenny, but now she’s there alone waiting for someone to choose her.

LILY has already been at the shelter since 7/28, and time has run out. She can be euthanized Wednesday 8/19 or any future Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning for space. 💔

🐾 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

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.

💔 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.

This post is a part of my final attempt to find my chocolate labrador lashley who was abandoned 5 years ago by my father. I will first post a short introduction before explaining lashley's story in detail.

About Lashley:

Chocolate Labrador Retriever

Nicknames: Boochie, Dachaley, Laboli

Distinctive white patch on his chest also known as bolo marks

Age when he was abandoned - 3 1/2 years old

Current age - 8 to 9 years old

Last known area: Domlur, Bengaluru (near Jogupalya, Indiranagar & Ulsoor)

If anyone living in Bangalore recognizes him, knows someone who might have adopted him, or have any information at all—even if it seems insignificant—please leave a comment or contact me through WhatsApp/call +91 8660826795

Detailed explanation of what actually happened & why he was abandoned

Back in 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic, my family was going through a very difficult time financially and personally. Also during this time my father was suffering from severe chronic depression and other mental issues. After some time we had just moved to a new house, so my dad left Lashley to stay at my grandmother's house and claimed he would bring him to our new house. My father told me he would bring him to our new home once everything settled down. But few months passed by and this did not happen. During that time I used to visit him during the weekends. Some of the pics & videos i have posted here are during that time

So one day without my knowledge, according to my grandmother's account he claimed to take lashley for a walk and when he had returned lashley wasn't there with him. When he was asked about it he told her he had sold it or given it to someone but did not mention the specifics like to whom. When he came home he did not tell us about this. A few days later, my father took his own life at my grandmother's house. It was only then that we found out. During that time, our family was consumed by the shock, grief , funeral, legal matters, and everything that followed after my father's death so our thoughts were consumed by this and finding lashley wasnt at the forefront of our minds I also did not want to disturb my mother and other family members by bringing this up.

After some time we decided to search for lashley but had no idea where he went or with whom he was. We visited some well known breeders and rescue organisations but couldn't find him. Also found out that my father had also given away lashley's vaccination certificates & other things like prescriptions from the vets. So i had lost hope and finally decided that it was almost impossible to ever see him again. I loved him so much and wanted to be with him till his final years this was what made it so bad. I couldn't even see him to wish him a final goodbye before he left me. He was an extremely expressive and affectionate lab who always loved to be around me. I can't imagine how panicked and lost he must have felt after he was given away. He loved me like no other dog ever did. So I just suppressed those memories and went on with my life. But it just didn't work. For the past few months I have been feeling intense regret that I didn't do enough to find him, that I had in a way betrayed him. I kept dreaming about him regularly - both positive and disturbing dreams. So i finally decided I need to make a final and serious attempt to find him before he leaves this world. I want to be with him through his final years.

My search efforts will be both offline and online - I will visit every rescue organisation, veterinary clinics , breeders, pet boarding schools and kennels in my city. I will also be creating pages on every social media platform where I will be documenting and updating my search efforts. Even if the search fails i atleast get to preserve lashley's memories and get to tell his story to many. Hope this post wasn't too long. Thank you for reading

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.

COMMENT BELOW IF YOU CAN HELP!

Hi everyone,

Angelito’s recovery is not going to be easy, but he is not facing it alone. 🤍

His red blood cell count remains low, so he will receive five EPO injection treatments this week while he works on regaining his strength. For now, amputation is not recommended, so we will continue caring for his injury, keeping it clean, and bringing him to his follow-up checkups.

We also provided prescription more recovery food, dextrose powder, and cleaning supplies for the shelter to help support Angelito and protect the other animals. We will continue sending financial support to help with his transportation and medical needs.

Through everything he has endured, Angelito is loved, seen, and genuinely cared for. His life MATTERS, and we will continue doing everything we can to give him the chance he deserves.

To anyone who would like to provide financial support for Angelito, please visit our website, which is shown in the video. I will also be sharing another link in the comment section. To be honest, Angelito is already the 5th rescued animal we have had at the veterinary clinic this week, and with multiple animals needing medical care at the same time, the costs can quickly become overwhelming. We appreciate everyone who continues to support our rescued animals🤍

For your safety, please double-check that the link was posted by me and comes from our official account before sending any financial support. 🤍

Thank you so much for helping us continue to care for Angelito and our other rescued animals. Every bit of support truly makes a difference. Will keep posting updates.

Sincerely,

📝 Shelter Notes:

8/2/2026: Had to separate due to fighting over food with 3 other siblings.

8/3/2026: Freddy and sibling did much better today. Fed pups in two separate cornered areas to keep dogs away from one another. Did well and then went to go lay together after eating. I did notice that Freddy will low growl and give a hard stare at dogs as I am walking them by kennel.

8/4/2026: Freddy does low growl towards other dogs walking by if he is not covered. So I have to make sure kennel is covered. For feeding I have been offering food into two separate locations to prevent pups from fighting.

8/12/2026: Mr. Freddy when going to clean his kennel will start off a little shy, moving back to his bed, head down. Was able to slowly carry him to another kennel to clean his.

8/13/2026: Dog was laying on his bed and when I approached him he stepped back and I had to carry him out to clean his kennel and when I was holding him he stood still as we waited for his kennel to be done.

An entire family ended up at the shelter together, and now all three are at risk of losing their lives. 💔

MONICA and her two adult pups, MISTY & RALPHIE, came in together as strays on 7/20. The girls are still kenneled together, while RALPHIE had to be separated from them because he is male.

Now this little family needs people to step up before it’s too late. All three are urgent and can be euthanized for space on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning. 😭

PLEASE DON’T LET HEARTWORMS SCARE YOU AWAY! Heartworm is treatable. Local adopters should ask a shelter manager whether they qualify for sponsored treatment through Heal-A-Heart at the nearby wellness clinic. Low-cost treatment options may also be available.

⚠️** THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE SAVED TOGETHER. One foster or adopter stepping up for even ONE of them can save a life and create desperately needed kennel space**.

🏡 LOCAL FOSTER/ADOPTER
If you can help MISTY, MONICA or RALPHIE, send an email with your name, phone number, the dog’s name/ID and whether you want to foster or adopt:

🆘️ 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.

🆘 11 week old Lab mix boy Frasier, who has a previously injured front leg. is on the euthanasia list, 8/19. 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.
