DDR DOGGY SNIPPETS – Downtown Dog Rescue

DDR Doggy Snippets: Awaiting Summer

From Lori:

If someone is looking for a quiet, mellow, very loving dog, look no further,
it’s Larry. We walked over a mile at lunch time today and I could have held
the leash with one finger. He walks so beautifully, always one step behind
me, waiting for my direction. He is so out of place at this knuckle head
pit bull kennel. He loves Janey and Medira!

VIDEO FUN!

“KURO ON DEATHROW”

Here’s a new pic of Kuro at Wed. cruise night last night. Everytime I bring him to an event, everyone shows him love and vice versa! They always say they’d adopt him if they didn’t already have one (or more) pets…He could pass for “Clancy Jr.”!

DDR DOGGY SNIPPETS REDUX! Amanda & Medira

AMANDA

Amanda is 4-5 year old and is about 35 lbs. She is spayed and current on all vaccinations. She is a very petite and friendly pit bull terrier. She has had a very hard life. Her original owner, a taxi driver, lost his home, and he had no choice but to keep her in his taxi and drive her around with the passengers he picked up. This worked until someone complained to the cab company. He found a neighbor in Compton with a yard who already had 15 dogs on her property. This was ok for a few weeks until Animal Control mandated that she get rid of 12 dogs, Amanda being one of the dogs.

Off she went to a poorly run kennel where she was warehoused in a tiny crate with hardly any food and dirty water. She was attacked by other dogs at this facility and as a result, suffered bite wounds to her face and muzzle. She is definitely not a fighter but had to fight for food and water at this kennel. But don’t worry, Amanda is sweet sweet sweet and she did not let this bad place change the lovely personality that she has. Animal Control began investigate the kennel and they were mandated to reduce their numbers; this is where Downtown Dog Rescue came in.

Amanda was rescued because she had no chance of a good life if we didn’t take her. Emaciated, full of fleas, a bad eye that is still being treated, she is so grateful to have food, water, a blanket and a dog house every night to sleep in. Slowly, we are teaching her to walk on a leash and allowing her to enjoy her time with our dog pack. Please consider adopting or even fostering to adopt sweet Amanda who has been to hell and back. If you are interested in meeting or adopting OR EVEN FOSTERING Amanda, please phone Sandy at: 818-407-4145 or complete an APPLICATION

DDR DOGGY SNIPPETS: EDWINA & VANILLA

DDR DOGGY SNIPPETS will be weekly photographic visits to our DDR Dogs that live in the kennels and still looking for their one and only adoptive or even foster families:

VANILLA

Vanilla is a 5 month old Yellow Lab-Pit bull mix puppy that loves other dogs, cats and everyone she meets. She was rescued from the South LA shelter where she would have been euthanized. She is not spayed yet but will be done before she is placed. She lives at our rescue kennel with lots of other dogs. She is very sweet and likes to cuddle and chill with her guardian after a day of playing like a puppy. Vanilla is up-to-date with routine shots and house trained.

*look at all the cute doggy prints she made after the rains!*

EDWINA

Edwina is about two years old. We rescued her from the South LA shelter on her very last day before she was set to be euthanized. She had a very bad skin infection, a broken tail, and was under weight when we took her into our rescue. She is now a happy healthy dog who lives and plays at our rescue kennel with lots of other dogs. Every night she goes home with me and back to work to play with the dogs. She is crate trained, rides in the car nicely, very respectful and obedient inside the house, high energy outside. This is a wonderful dog for an experienced dog owner who can appreciate the subtle ways that she communicates. She has some obedience training, and walks great on a leash. She needs to be in a No Cat home. Edwina is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.
